If finding the worlds best flashlights is a priority for you, I would recommend taking a look at SureFire, makers of the premiere line of flashlights and accessories anywhere. From the tempered Pyrex window with anti-reflective coating to the rugged, aerospace grade Type III aluminum body, to the Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, you simply wont find a better-made product. The SureFire L1 LumaMax is a compact (shirt pocket size) dual-output LED flashlight for backpacking and general use. It uses a virtually indestructible power-regulated light-emitting diode (LED) light source plus a two-stage tailcap switch for instant selection of desired output level. Choose from an extremely long-runtime low beam for close-up work or a long runtime high beam with 1.5 times the light of a big 2-D cell flashlight. You get a small size, extended runtime, high output, and 10-year battery shelf life, which makes it perfect for disaster preparedness kits and an excellent everyday-carry light.

LED lights are preferable to incandescent lamps for several reasons. First of all, SureFire LED lights will last thousands of hours versus less than fifty hours for the best incandescent lamps. Second, LED lights produce virtually no invisible infrared radiation, as opposed to most incandescent lamps, which emit over 85% of their output as infrared. As a result, LED lights are much more efficient in producing light than incandescent lamps; very important for battery operated flashlights. Third, because LED lights are very sturdy in construction, and have no mechanically sensitive parts such as glass bulbs or filaments. They are extremely resistant to shock, making them well-suited for the combat environment or for mounting on firearms. Lastly, they will produce light over a wide range of power, making LED lights the best choice for adjustable light level flashlights.

The L1 flashlight will fit in the palm of your hand and maintains its brightness for a long time. It comes with a convenient belt clip to hook on to a cap or helmet for hands-free use. It is about four and a half inches long and roughly one-third of a pound in weight. It will easily store in your pocket, tool box, tackle box, desk, or utility drawer. It uses (1) 123 Lithium battery, which is included with the flashlight. The run time on average is an incredible 90 hours on low power and a very solid 4 hours on high level. This is a very handy feature in delicate situations, such as a broken down car on the side of the road in the middle of a blizzard. The bulbs will last for thousands of hours which ensure more useable time and less down-time switching burned out bulbs. In case you have a need, a red lens and a blue lens are available, as well as a quick-detach holster.

When discussing all of the capabilities of the SureFire L1, its easy to see why more people choose SureFire when it really matters. When it comes down to it, people who work and play hard need a flashlight that has a long battery life, durable bulbs, and a compact, convenient size. When only the absolute best will do, the L1-HA-BL LumaMax is the ideal answer, giving you a blend of battery life, rugged construction, and brightness.
