Purchased this while on deployment. its extremely bright, you can feel the heat off of the xenon light. the led’s supply enough light to light a decent area but not quite focused enough.
The xenon supplies a flood light type light. can easily blind someone in darkness.

Yes, this is an costly flashlight….but it completely delivers on each and every penny. It seriously is the perfect flashlight for any pilot. The white spot is focused at all ranges, and will blow any Mag-Lite out of the water. The LED works excellent as well when you need a lot more subtle lighting – the green version is NVG-compliant.
Making use of lithium batteries is fantastic….They have a 10-year shelf life, so you never have to worry about a them acquiring dim over time.
Seriously an awesome, awesome, professional flashlight. It’s built like a tank and performs all the time – accept no substitutes.

Whilst this light is high-priced, I believe it is 1 of the best out there.
I had mine around my neck, via included lanyard (take off the plastic ring and put lanyard directly on light to make sure you don’t lose A2), during the long weekend N.E. blackout of 2008.
It was invaluable to have and also the red LED saves battery to maximize use. The design enables the light to be on continuous color or white light by turning the front end and rear, or keep it ‘off’ for 1 handed thumb use. Although I employed a Mini Mag for deployment to Iraq, I wish I had this light on my web gear.
