Lightsource

 Luxeon III (T-bin) for 90 Lumen Lightoutput

 or Luxeon K2 (V-bin) for 120 Lumen light output (October 2006)

 100,000h (>11 years of continues on)

 Forward LED Current

 50 to 1,000mA

 3.4'' (86mm) x 1.125'' (28mm)

 ~5 oz (140g)

 3V CR123 Primary Lithium or protected rechargeable 3.6V RCR123

 Constant Brightness

  Regulation

 Proprietary regulation circuitry maintains constant

 light level as battery voltage drops.

 Increases usable battery life by up to 30%,

 compared to leading competitors

 300 Series Stainless Steel

(Aircraftgrade Aluminum or Titanium available at special request)
 

 Two thermal sensors monitor LED & circuitry allowing superior overdrive brigthness for a temperature dependent limited amount of time.

Unlimited regulated brigthness levels are available by turning the knob in the back allowing either maximum brightness or maximum runtime or any setting in between.

Circular Narrow Beam Optic with half angle divergence of only 6°

Silicone elastomers fabricated using high vacuum degas process

>1m (>3ft)

High precision components with <0.0005'' (0.01mm) tolerance

 Assembly
