Standby battery life really disappointing
This review is from: Surefire A2 Aviator Tactical LED
I love the dual light feature on this flashlight. Low level red for astronomical use and highpower white light for other normal use.
Even so the battery drains slowly when inside the off state resulting in a flashlight that’s not useable when very first turned on after sitting for awhile (like a number of months).
This ought to not be for such a high top quality light. Surefire replaced the light assembly, but to no improvement. They do not test for idle switch drain at all.
Can’t believe a hi-tech light isn’t checked for that! Buyer beware that the battery may be drained after being off for a number of months in storage!!
