SureFire Introduces Maximus Vision Headlamp With Warm White-­Light LED

Monday, June 9th, 2014

Fountain Valley, CA — The new rechargeable SureFire Maximus Vision variable-output headlamp features a high-efficiency white-light LED that delivers 450 maximum lumens of warm, yellow-hued light — similar to the light produced by incandescent tungsten lamps. This warmer beam color, which appears less blue to the human eye than light from a typical LED, renders colors more accurately, helps reduce eye strain for some users, and better penetrates dust and fog, making it ideal for medical use, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and many industrial applications.

The SureFire Maximus Vision is nearly identical to the original SureFire Maximus, except for its warm-colored light and its slightly lower maximum output. Lumen output ranges from one to 450 lumens and is controlled via a large knurled dial that permits easy one-handed output selection, even if your hand is gloved or numbed by the cold. The Vision’s beam can also be aimed with one hand to shine precisely where light is needed, since the light assembly rotates up and down 90 degrees.

The Maximus Vision utilizes a custom reflector to produce a wide, smooth beam optimized for your field of vision, but its beam provides impressive reach at the maximum-output setting. Power is provided by an integral rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed to provide years of service; chargers for both wall-type AC outlets and 12-volt DC vehicle outlets are included. A handy fuel gauge on the headlamp lets you know the battery-charge status at a glance, and a long-running SOS beacon provides an extra margin of safety should you ever get lost or stranded and need to signal for help. Constructed from tough, lightweight magnesium, the SureFire Maximus Vision thrives in the Great Outdoors, but its vision-friendly beam color and cost-effective rechargeable power source also make it ideal for everyday-use by industrial and tactical professionals, as well as anyone who needs a powerful, reliable headlamp. The no-chafe, fine-weave headband and moisture-wicking Breathe-O-Prene® forehead pad will fit over a bare head, a hat, and most helmets, making the Vision extremely comfortable to wear for extended-use applications.

The Maximus Vision has an MSRP of $275.00 and is available for purchase through authorized SureFire dealers, by calling SureFire at 800-828-8809 or visiting www.surefire.com.

SOFIC 2014 – SureFire Arc Lights

Tuesday, May 27th, 2014

When you visit the SureFire booth, your attention is immediately drawn to the Polaris RAZR, set center stage. Atop that RAZR are mounted several Arc series lights.

The Arc series includes the handheld Arc-2 and Arc-3 as well as the highly successful Hellfighter weapon mounted lights including the new Hellfighter-5 which boasts 4500 lumens at 80 minutes with its integral battery pack (continuous with vehicle DC power).

We all know how well the Hellfighter family of lights work but what you really need to read up on are the Arc- and Arc-3 handhelds. The Arc-2 offers the same 4500 lumens at 1,000,000 candela as the Hellfighter-5 but in a handheld! This means you can reach out over 2,000m.

SureFire Ryder 22 Suppressor Disassembly Video

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

This video features a quick demonstration of the disassembly of the brand new SureFire Ryder 22 suppressor.

At last December’s SureFire writers event I had a chance to fire and play with the new Ryder 22 suppressor. I shot this quick video to show you how easy it is to disassemble for maintenance. You may notice that the pig-nosed baffle stack is numbered so putting it back together is a snap.

Sneak Peek – Prototype SureFire Suppressor for Subsonic .300

Tuesday, March 4th, 2014

Prototype Suppressor

Last week, I had an opportunity to fire a Hodge Defense Systems AU Mod 1 fitted with a .300 upper that was equipped with a prototype SureFire suppressor for use with subsonic .300 ammo.

I was shooting at a walking target about 75 yards out. The ‘ping’ from the hits was louder than the rifle. As you can hear from the video, I was taken aback by how quiet it was. Hodge guns are always a joy to shoot but I really had a great time with this set up.

Look for release, Summer 2014 from SureFire.
