SureFire lights feature precision reflectors, lithium batteries, and fail-safe switching. SureFire lights set a higher standard for illumination tools. SureFire flashlights and WeaponLights were originally created to meet the demanding needs of law enforcement entry teams and military special operations units. For two decades, law enforcement and military special operations personnel have turned to SureFire for flashlights powerful enough to blind and disorient threats and identify targets. Among these elite law enforcement and military professionals, SureFire is the only choice.
Like many well conceived, well-engineered products, SureFire lights have numerous applications beyond those for which they were originally designed. From personal self-defense, to inspections of aircraft and vehicles, to boating, camping, or everyday use around the house or in your vehicle, SureFire flashlights provide brilliant, pure white light for any need or situation. SureFire lights quickly go from being handy tools to an indispensable implements that users carry with them at all times.
These are not ordinary flashlights in any sense of the word. Advanced technology has made it possible to reduce the size of SureFire lights to the point where they are much smaller and lighter than other flashlights that emit an equivalent amount of light. SureFire has created a new line of extraordinarily sleek, compact, and powerful handheld lights that are destined to become indispensable accessories for everyday use by overlanders and the general public. SureFire's history of performance and reliability means that when you purchase a SureFire, you are not just getting the best flashlight in the world; you are joining elite groups of satisfied customers who depend on these lights for their lives.

SureFire Two-Pack SF123A Lithium Batteries (SF2-CB) $5 Optimized for use in SureFire flashlights, SureFire SF123A Lithium Batteries pack a lot of power into a small package. And-unlike regular batteries, the SF123A Lithium Batteries boast a full 10-year shelf life, which means they will be ready when you need them, every time. Don't be confused by the low price of these batteries. They are top quality. SureFire sells the SF123A Lithium Batteries at close to cost to ensure that SureFire users have available to them an abundant and reasonably priced supply of batteries. When you buy these batteries from EE, you don't get two batteries taped together or something. The two-pack packages are factory sealed and never opened to ensure that you are receiving factory fresh batteries and not some batteries that might or might not be new. This is important because lithium batteries have a very flat discharge curve and it is hard to tell when a battery is not new. That way, you can depend on them to be powerful when you need them. |
 |
SureFire 12 SF123A Lithium Batteries In A Box (SF12-BB) $25 When you buy these batteries from EE, you don't get 12 batteries in a shrink-wrap package the way you would from some sellers. The 12-pack boxes that we sell are factory sealed and never opened to ensure that you are receiving factory fresh batteries and can depend on them to be powerful when you need them. |

The E1B Backup is a giant leap forward in CombatLight Technology. The Backup is an ultra compact (finger length), dual-output LED flashlight with extended runtime and tactical-level output. The E1B was developed as an everyday-carry flashlight but it's also ideal for outdoor, self-defense, and everyday use because of its dual-output capability.
The Backup features a virtually indestructible, electronically regulated LED that, on its high setting, produces a tactical-level beam of 80 lumens for 1.3 hours from its single SF123A lithium battery. On its low setting, the Backup generates five lumens of light for 37 hours. Shown left to right are off, high, and low.
These are what the Backup's beams look like. Left to right are off, high, and low.
Remember, the Backup is a three-volt unit. In other words, it produces 80 lumens for 1.3 hours off a single SF123A Lithium Battery and it's only 4" long. This is remarkable performance.
The Backup features a two-stage tailcap switch: press for momentary-on at high setting, release and press again (within two seconds) for momentary-on at low setting; click for constant-on at high-setting, click off and on again (within two seconds) for constant-on at low setting.

For many years the standard flashlight for law enforcement and tactical use was the 6P, shown on the right. The 6P was and remains an excellent flashlight and is probably the standard against which all other serious flashlights are judged. The 6P is still far superior to the flashlights offered by other flashlight makers. SureFire, however, was founded on the principle of continuing design evolution and improvement. Good enough just isn't to SureFire, so SureFire has come up with improved designs over the years. The current line of SureFire flashlights is far superior to the classic 6P. Incidentally, that 6P on the right was John's personal flashlight that has served him for more than a decade.
The Z2, 6P, and C2 flashlights are shown for comparison. One of the primary complaints about the 6P was that it was slippery in the hand. Though the entire surface of the 6P was knurled, the 6P was smooth in shape. The smooth shape combined with sweaty hands resulted in a slippery flashlight.
SureFire remedied the complaints about the 6P's slippery feel by giving the Z2 and C2 flashlights a waisted shape and a rubber ring around the flashlight's shank. These two modifications greatly enhance the gripability of the lights and increase the tactical flexibility of the lights because they permit the employment of the Rogers/SureFire technique.
Another complaint about the 6P was that the flashlight could roll away from the user if the user dropped it. To remedy this potential problem, SureFire machined the bezels with a hexagonal flange so as to prevent the flashlight from rolling. How many flashlight companies do you know of that would bother with a detail as small (and as expensive) as this? To SureFire, however, this is no such thing as a small detail, for perfection is no small thing.
The 6P also suffered from a slippery momentary switch. The 6P's rubber pressure switch was revolutionary when it was invented, but users found the button to be too slippery for use with sweaty hands or too small to use with gloved hands. SureFire listened to user feedback and knurled the momentary switch's surface on its newer models like the Z2, C2, and C3.
SureFire also made the the new knurled switch protrude more from the tailcap's surface to make the momentary switch more usable. One of the reasons the 6P's momentary switch was so flat was to prevent inadvertent discharge of the flashlight. However, SureFire solved the inadvertent discharge problem by designing a lock-out feature onto the tailcap, which is described in more detail below. With the new lock-out capability of the tailcap switch, the momentary button could be easier to locate and depress. The new tailcap also features slightly sharper knurling that makes turning the tailcap switch a little easier than before. However, the knurling is not so sharp that it will abrade clothing. Another thoughtful touch is that the areas of the tailcap flanking the knurling have been machined down slightly so make the knurling more effective without having to make it sharper. Thoughtful touches such as this are simply normal at SureFire.
The protruding momentary switch is much easier to use than the previous switch when operated with the thumb. Most people who pick up a SureFire light for the first time use the flashlight in this fashion.
When used with the Rogers/SureFire technique, the new momentary switch comes into its own. The knurled surface greatly helps to prevent the flashlight from slipping from the user's palm. With the rubber rings around the unit's shank, the newest generation SureFire flashlights are grippier than ever.
A hallmark design feature of the Z2L flashlight is the series of rubber rings around the narrow portion of the Z2L's handle. These rubber rings serve several functions but their primary function is to enable the employment of the Rogers/SureFire flashlight technique pioneered by former FBI Special Agent Bill Rogers. This technique permits the user to illuminate a target with his support hand while firing a pistol with his strong hand, and have both hands supporting each other as with a standard two-hand pistol stance.
The rubber rings are also adjustable for different hand sizes. The user can slide the rings forward on the shank to fit oversized hands. When all three rings are slid forward and compressed against each other, they will not move under the tightest of grips. The user can also remove one or more of the rubber rings to suit the smallest of hands.
Many shooters who prefer the Weaver stance prefer the Harries flashlight technique. Even when used with the traditional Harries flashlight technique, the rubber rings and waisted profile of the Z2L greatly enhance the gripability of the Z2L compared to the 6P and other flashlights.
The Z2L comes standard with a lanyard loop. If the user so desires, he can remove the lanyard loop simply by unscrewing the tail cap switch.
The Z2L also comes standard with a lanyard, which is instantly detachable should the user so wish.
Fitting the lanyard to the Z2L can greatly enhance the utility of the Z2L for certain applications. The two adjustable stops on the lanyard permit the user to tighten the lanyard around his wrist and yet have the lanyard be instantly detachable.
The lanyard will not interfere with a Rogers/SureFire hold.
The lanyard is long enough that it will not interfere with a conventional hold.
Should the user need his hand free such as to reload a pistol, he can simply let go of the Z2L without worrying about losing it. Practiced users can also "yo-yo" the Z2L back into their hands by yanking upward with their wrist and letting the Z2L pop back into their hand. The Z2L's high gripability and general utility make it very desirable. That is why agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation issues a Z2L to every special agent who graduates from its academy.
A lock-out tailcap allows the Z2L to be locked in the off position to prevent inadvertent discharge of light during tactical operations, transportation, or storage. This unique switching was originally developed for law enforcement - twist for constant on, or depress the tailcap button for momentary illumination or emergency signaling. The tailcap is notched to permit the user to identify the switch's settings.
In the above photo, the tailcap switch on the C2 (top) has been screwed in fully to illuminate the unit's lamp. In this setting, the flashlight will remain on until the switch is unscrewed or the unit runs out of batteries. Depressing the momentary switch with the tailcap on this setting will do nothing and the unit will remain on. The C3 in the middle has its tailcap switch screwed to a point where the the unit remains off, but depressing the momentary button will activate the unit's lamp only so long as the momentary button is depressed. The instant the user lets go of the momentary button, the light will extinguish. The Z2L on the bottom has its tailcap switch unscrewed one full turn. On this setting, the unit will not illuminate at all. Depressing the momentary switch on this setting will do nothing and the unit will not activate. This third setting is proper for storage or transportation, or for tactical situations when discharging light would be compromising.
The M3 is part of SureFire's premium Millennium series of CombatLights. The M3 is standard issue for the numerous police and military units worldwide.
The M3 is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and hard anodized gray.
Powered by three SF123A Lithium Batteries, the M3 comes standard with two Lamp Assemblies that provide either 125 lumens of white light for 60 minutes or 225 lumens for 20 minutes. The M3 also comes complete with lanyard, two lamp assemblies, and three SF123A Lithium Batteries.
125 and 225 lumens are very bright, much brighter than the other SureFire personal flashlights.
The M3 is powerful enough that there is a substantial amount of heat build-up while the unit is ignited. A warning to this effect is laser etched on the lamp housing.
Cooling fins are also machined into the base of the lamp housing.
The new Strike Bezel surrounds the lamp and permits the M3 to be used as an impact weapon.
A patented rubber grip ring allows the M3 to be operated with a handgun using the Rogers/SureFire technique.
A lock-out tailcap allows the light to be locked in the off position to prevent inadvertent discharge of light during tactical operations, transportation, or storage.
The M3 also features unique switching originally developed for law enforcement - twist for constant on, or depress the tailcap button for momentary illumination or emergency signaling.
With its blinding 225-lumen output, strike bezel, lanyard option, and ability to be used with either the Harries or Rogers/SureFire techniques, the M3 Millennium makes an almost ideal service flashlight.
Take your personal lighting to the next level with the SureFire M3.
The X300 is a leap forward in WeaponLight Technology and may obsolete other WeaponLight designs in the next few years. With the X300, gone are the TurboHead lamps, tape switches, high battery consumption, overall bulk, and mounting permanence of past WeaponLight designs. The X300 may be attached to pistol, shotgun, rifle, or carbine instantly and without tools, and may be detached and switched between weapons instantly and without tools.
For example, simply detach the X300 from this Glock 35 and mount it onto this Glock 23. The switch takes but a few seconds and no tools are required to do the switch.
If your weapon has a Universal or Picatinny rail on it, then you can mount the X300. If your weapon does not have an integral rail, you will have to add a rail to mount the X300.
The X300's proprietary Rail-Lock System lets the user instantly attach or detach the X300 to or from weapons equipped with Universal or Picatinny rails, and the X300 comes standard with different locking plates for Universal or Picatinny rail use.
Mounting the X300 is very simple. Simply slide the X300 over the weapon's Universal or Picatinny rail and let it lock into place. The motion is as simple as inserting a magazine.
The X300 is a very compact unit, even when mounted to a compact service pistol like the Heckler & Koch P2000. The X300 doesn't overwhelm the P2000 at all. On a long gun the X300 feels absolutely dinky.
The X300 is hardly wider than a Glock.
In fact, the X300 was tailor-made for the Glocks, and the X300's locking bar and radiused rear mate perfectly with the Glocks. In fact, it would appear that Heckler & Koch copied the Glocks' trigger guard dimensions on its USA version of the P2000 to obtain as nice a fit as possible with the X300.
Long-slide Glock models like the Glock 35 are long enough that the front of the X300 sits flush with the front of the slide.
The X300 features a solid-state, electronically regulated LED that generates 110 lumens of white light and maintains tactical-level amounts of light output for a remarkable 2.4 hours. The older WeaponLights produced 65 lumens for one hour or 120 lumens for 20 minutes, and these units were quite remarkable for their time. The X300's Total Internal Reflection lens creates a bright, tightly focused central beam with plenty of reach but still with sufficient halo for peripheral vision. A tempered Pyrex window protects the LED and features anti-reflective coating to maximize light transmission.
Unlike other dedicated WeaponLights, you can also operate the X300 in the hand like a standard flashlight.
The X300's hard-anodized, aerospace-grade aluminum body protects the X300's electronics against tough use.
O-ring seals and gaskets seal the X300 against dust and make all parts of the X300 waterproof to 22 meters.
A small R-clip on the X300's battery locking catch prevents the unit from opening under the harshest recoil.
The X300 is completely ambidextrous. Whether you are right-handed or left-handed does not matter. Whether you are shooting right-handed or left-handed does not matter. Whether you are shooting one-handed or two-handed does not matter. Whether you activate the X300 with your shooting hand or support hand does not matter. Whether you want momentary light or constant light does not matter. Whether you mount the X300 onto handgun or long gun does not matter. The X300 will easily handle all of these situations.
To illustrate, here is the X300 mounted onto a Heckler & Koch P2000. You can see that the identical switches are located on both sides of the trigger guard.
If you are shooting one-handed and want momentary illumination, just push forward on the switch with your trigger finger and the X300 will illuminate. Obviously, this works equally well with the right hand's trigger finger.
If you want constant illumination, flip the switch up or down with your trigger finger and X300 will light up and stay on. In the photo above, the port-side switch is flipped downward and the starboard-side switch in turn flips up, activating the constant light on the X300. The X300 achieves the same constant-on with the port-side switch flipped up and the starboard-side switch flipped down.
If you are shooting with two hands and want momentary illumination, push forward with your support-side thumb. For constant light, flip the switch up or down with your support-side thumb. It doesn't matter whether you flip the switch up or down, and either movement will produce constant light.
The X300 works from either side. Its combination toggle/push switches provide convenient, ambidextrous, and fail-safe operation for momentary-on and constant-on modes.
Take your personal-defense weapons to the next level with the revolutionary X300.
All SureFire flashlights and WeaponLights are extremely robust and far stronger than all other flashlights currently on the market. About the only things that can go wrong with them are the Lamp Assembly can burn out or otherwise become damaged, or the batteries can drain. The SC1 Spares Carrier shown above was designed to meet those two possibilities and provides a convenient way to store and carry a spare Lamp Assembly and batteries. This unit is a necessary piece of equipment for every serious SureFire user. SC1 The Spares Carrier is waterproof, airtight, and crushproof. There is no better way to store your spare batteries or Lamp Assembly. The SC1 will hold six SF123A Lithium Batteries and one replacement P60, P61, P90, P91, or X80 Lamp Assembly. The batteries and Lamp Assembly are the weakest components in the SureFire Flashlights. Having replacement parts dry and handy will ensure that you can replace any inoperable part quickly and safely in the field.
While the exterior of the SC1 Spares Carrier features a lightly pebbled finish, the interior is polished so as to permit the user to see the contents of the Spares Carrier without having to open the unit.
The floor of the SC1 Spares Carrier features dimples and the walls feature bolsters to hold the SF123A Lithium Batteries securely.
When inserted, the six SF123A batteries are securely held and do not rattle or abrade each other.
The center of the SC1 Spares Carrier is shaped to accommodate a spare P60, P61, P90, P91, or X80 Lamp Assemblies, which are all identical in size.
Shown is a P60 Lamp Assembly, the standard Lamp Assembly on the six-volt SureFire flashlights and WeaponLights. The bottom of the lamp assembly is fitted with two springs. The shape of the SC1 Spares Carrier's center is shaped to accommodate the larger of these two springs.
The Lamp Assembly fits perfectly onto the SC1 Spares Carrier and does not move laterally, where it could otherwise abrade the SF123A Lithium Batteries stored with the Lamp Assembly.
The top of the SC1 Spares Carrier is shaped so as to mate to the Lamp Assembly's reflector.
When the top cover is threaded onto the bottom of the SC1 Spares Carrier, the Lamp Assembly's reflector will mate to the top cover. The Lamp Assembly's spring will compress slightly when the top cover is threaded fully and the Lamp absolutely will not jiggle inside the SC1 Spares Carrier.
Here the bottom of the SC1 Spares Carrier is loaded with six SF123A Lithium Batteries and a spare P60 Lamp Assembly.
The SC1 Spares Carrier features an O-ring seal around the threads. When the top cover is threaded onto the bottom, the SC1 Spares Carrier is airtight and watertight. The unit is also crushproof. There is no safer or better way to store and carry your spare parts for your SureFire flashlights and WeaponLights. You could store a fully loaded SC1 Spares Carrier under water for several years, and still have perfectly capable batteries and spare Lamp Assembly.
The SC1 Spares Carrier comes standard with a lanyard.
The SC3 Spares Carrier is identical in design and execution, but is designed specifically for the A2 Aviator flashlight.
Unlike the SC1 Spares Carrier, the SC3 Spares Carrier holds only four SF123A Lithium Batteries. This lesser capacity is by design, as the A2 Aviator does draws much less battery power than the CombatLights.
The MA02 Incandescent Lamp is stored inside the SC3 Spares Carrier.
Keep your A2 Aviator running with the SC3 Spares Carrier.
Optimized for use in SureFire flashlights, SureFire SF123A Lithium Batteries pack a lot of power into a small package. And-unlike regular batteries, the SF123A Lithium Batteries boast a full 10-year shelf life, which means they will be ready when you need them, every time. Don't be confused by the low price of these batteries. They are top quality. SureFire sells the SF123A Lithium Batteries at close to cost to ensure that SureFire users have available to them an abundant and reasonably priced supply of batteries. When you buy these batteries from EE, you don't get two batteries taped together or something. The two-pack packages are factory sealed and never opened to ensure that you are receiving factory fresh batteries and not some batteries that might or might not be new. That way, you can depend on them to be powerful when you need them.
We also sell the batteries in a 12-pack. The packs remain sealed until you open them, so that you know you are getting factory fresh batteries. Lithium Batteries have a very flat discharge curve. That is, they appear to be fully powered even though half of their power is gone. Therefore, it is very difficult to tell when a lithium battery is used. We sell only sealed packages of the SF123A Lithium Batteries so that you know you are getting the freshest and the best.
In fact, all of the SureFire items we sell come in sealed factory packages. You are not getting some dealer samples that are used or may be used. When you buy from EE, you are getting brand new items with factory fresh batteries that have never been used.
For the nine-volt units like the SureFire Z3 or C3, the upgraded P91 Lamp Assembly is available. The CC comes standard with the P90 Lamp Assembly, which produces 105 lumens of white light for 60 minutes. The P91 Lamp Assembly produces 200 lumens of white light for 20 minutes.
The P90 and P91 Lamp Assemblies are identical in dimensions and are fully interchangeable.
Unlike the P60 and P61 Lamp Assemblies, it is not possible to differentiate the P90 and 91 Lamp Assemblies by looking at their bulbs. However, each unit is marked to permit easy model designation.
SureFire also manufactures an array of WeaponLights for tactical uses. If you are looking for a particular WeaponLight, please feel free to contact us or visit our shop to discuss your particular needs.
Why are SureFire lights so expensive? One might think to himself, "Why should I pay over $100 for that flashlight when I can pay $10 for a Mag-Lite that is just as good?" Well, there is only one SureFire and nothing else even comes close. That Mag-Lite is hardly "just as good" or even nearly as good as a SureFire. Let's compare this C2 to the Mag-Lite and see how they differ. The greatest difference is in light output. This Z2 and this 2-AA Mag-Lite are roughly equivalent in size, but the Z2 produces more output than the largest 6-D Mag-Lite. That is how efficient the SureFire lights are. SureFire lights are extremely bright and SureFire doesn't need to rate its lights in thousands of candlepower. Candlepower is a very misleading way to rate light output because it measures only the brightest portion of the bulb. SureFire measures the light output of its lights in lumens, which is a much more accurate way to measure light output. If "120 lumens" doesn't sound as impressive as "7,000 candlepower", so be it.
The quality of the SureFire lights is evident in this photo. This SureFire C2 started out as a piece of 6061 aluminum bar stock and was machined down to shape on CNC machinery before being hardcoat black anodized. The tolerances are precise enough that any part from any C2 ever manufactured will interchange with all other parts from all other C2's. The threads for both the bezel and the tailcap switch are sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture contamination. Units like the U.S. Navy SEALs use SureFire lights because they are the only lights that have the water resistance the SEALs require.
The switches on the SureFire are more sophisticated and expensive than on the Mag-Lite. This tailcap switch serves several functions. The rubber button on the end is a momentary-on switch. When the user wants a constant-on light, he threads this switch clockwise until the switch stops and the lamp illuminates. The tailcap switch also acts as a lock-out switch for storage or for times when illumination would be compromising. Mag-Lites don't provide options like this. In fact, no other flashlight company does.
The reflector on the C2 is shaped with countless dimples to provide a very focused beam that is without dark spots or bright spots. With the Mag-Lite, the beam can never be truly focused or optimized. Just borrow a friend's SureFire and compare it to even your 6-D Mag-Lite. The difference in luminosity and beam quality is dramatic.
The SureFire's reflector is also machined from solid aluminum and is not chromed plastic. Compare the Lamp Assemblies of the SureFire and Mag-Lite. Which do you think produces more light? Which do you think withstands the recoil from fully automatic weapons or a lightweight shotgun firing slugs? Which lamp assembly do you think was designed to withstand dropping the flashlight onto concrete repeatedly without failure? The difference is clear.
Mag-Lites and almost all other flashlights are powered by alkaline batteries while SureFire lights are powered by lithium batteries. Alkaline batteries self-discharge while lithium batteries have an almost indefinite shelf life. This means that your Mag-Lite may or may not work when you pick it up because the batteries will have discharged. However, your Surefire will definitely work and be just as bright as the day you set it down or put it away in storage. Alkaline batteries also leak. Most flashlight manufacturers warn against storing their flashlights for long periods while loaded with batteries. If you have ever opened up a flashlight and found the batteries leaked and ruined the unit, you will know why. These are some of the reasons why law enforcement and military units do not use alkaline or rechargeable batteries in their tactical flashlights. Lithium batteries also have a very flat discharge curve. That is, lithium batteries provide a very constant level of power until the very end while alkaline batteries have a sloping discharge curve with visible weakness as the power drains. SureFire's lumen ratings are very conservative and the 65-lumen rating for 60 minutes of the Z2 and C2 means just that. The Z2 and C2 will produce a strong, white light beam for 60 minutes. The unit will run longer and with a weaker, yellow beam, but SureFire doesn't count those times in its ratings. With alkaline batteries, the beam drains visibly after only a few minutes the unit is on and gets progressively worse. That's why some flashlight companies rate their flashlights as running for "an amazing four hours" when in fact the useful life of the unit is substantially less.
All components on the SureFire lights are modular in design and can be interchanged between different lights of the same model and different models. The P60 Lamp Assembly is the same lamp assembly used in various WeaponLights and the SF123A batteries are the same batteries used by military and law enforcement units throughout the world.
Surefire lights also cost more simply because they are better made. Examine these flashlights carefully. They are of supreme quality and there is no expense spared to make them what they are. If the Mag-Lite appeals to you, then by all means stick with the Mag-Lite. Just don't kid yourself that the Mag-Lite is a serious flashlight.
Why should you choose a SureFire light for your lighting needs? When you purchase a SureFire product, you can rest assured that you have one of the finest lighting products in the world. That is a bold claim and one that we do not make lightly. However, it is our considered opinion that there is no other light that even comes close to the quality, durability, and effectiveness of SureFire products.
If you're serious about the lighting equipment you use, SureFire lights are available to you.
If, on the other hand, items such as this Glock with its magazine configured to accept a Streamlight Scorpion will satisfy you, then by all means go for it.
However, we are serious about what we do and are serious about what we sell, so we will stick to using and selling only SureFire for the time being.
At the 2003 CORVA Poker Run, there was a good variety of SureFire lights in our camp. Left to right are the Hurricane Lamp, 9N Rechargeable, Z3 CombatLight, 6P, Z2 CombatLight, D2 Defender, and C2 Centurion. The several lights show varying amounts of wear and tear, but all have served their owners well and every owner had nothing but praise for his SureFire light. We concur.
For your auxiliary lighting for your vehicle, we both use and recommend Hella Auxiliary Lights because we believe they are the best of their kind.
For headlamps, we use and recommend the various Black Diamond Headlamps, which are more innovative and provide more performance than other headlamp designs.
For utility lights around camp or working on your vehicle, our favorite is the UVIEW Freedom-Light. The UVIEW Freedom-Lite 27 is a rechargeable light that illuminates your work area or camp site without the need for troublesome cords. The Freedom-Lite 27 is just as handy around camp or in your tent as it is under your vehicle, and does not discharge enough heat to burn your sleeping bag, tent, carpet, or skin. 27 LED's provide a high quantum of ambient light and have a 70,000-hour useful life. The rechargeable battery may be charged without first completely discharging it, and powers the Freedom-Lite 27's 27 LED's for five hours of continuous use. The "smart-charge" feature also lets you keep your Freedom-Lite 27 plugged in when not in use without fear of damaging the battery. The textured rubber handle prevents the unit from slipping in your hand when your hands are greasy.
