Streamlight Siege AA Red and Siege AA Blue

By on April 29, 2017 in Flashlights

Streamlight’s Siege series of lanterns is very useful. The lanterns offer solid output, strong runtimes, and durable cases. They recently introduced two new versions that do more than just light a room… They support The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc.

The both of these lights run on 2 AA batteries and boast the following output and runtimes:

  • High for brightest light: 200 lumens; runs 7 hours
  • Medium for bright light and longer run times: 100 lumens; runs 15.5 hours
  • Low provides extended run times for when less light is needed: 50 lumens; runs 37 hours

The Siege AA Red and Siege AA Blue have a secondary red and blue (respectively) LEDs with the following outputs and runtimes:

  • Red/Blue LED High (night vision preserving mode): 0.7 lumens; runs 192 hours (8 days)
  • Flash SOS mode for emergency signaling: 0.7 lumens; runs 288 hours (12 days)

Streamlight will donate $2 from the sale of each of these lanterns to a charity – The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation for the Siege AA Red and Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc. for the Siege AA Blue.

Surefire G2X Saves the Day

By on February 17, 2017 in EDC, Flashlights, Preparedness

This story was carried on my local news yesterday. If you aren’t carrying a flashlight daily, this might convince you. You never know how or when you’ll need your flashlight…

Early yesterday, a Washington man had a road wash out underneath his vehicle due to the flooding in the area. He was able to use his flashlight, a Surefire G2X, as he extricated himself from his vehicle and climbed back up onto the roadway in the dark. Once he was on the roadway, he was able to use the light to warn other drivers about the now dangerously washed out road surface. His simple act of preparedness, carrying a light, may have played a role in saving his life and potentially the lives of other motorists.

INTRODUCING THE MINI MARK II
Seven years ago, FOURSEVENS revolutionized the EDC (Every-Day-Carry) world with the MINI 123 flashlight. Now we are preparing to deliver the smallest, brightest, most feature packed CR123A MINI ever.

We’ve never been able to package this much output in a single CR123A flashlight this small.

Aerospace grade electronics inside helped us make the smallest EDC light ever. And the new features don’t just stop with the inside of the light.

The Mini Mark II includes a 2-way pocket clip, detachable key ring option, and multi-configurable modes so you can customize your MINI specifically to your needs.

We’ll be releasing more specific info closer to release date, so keep an eye on your inbox for how to order the MINI Mark II.

New from Elzetta: The Affordable Bones Flashlight

By on October 28, 2016 in EDC, Flashlights

Elzetta is now offering a new bare bones flashlight, appropriately called the Bones Flashlight, that offers Elzetta performance at a lower price. The light retains Elzetta’s potted electronics (which is a large part of why their lights are so durable) and their balanced beam profile. However, the body of the light has been simplified and there are no customization options, allowing Elzetta to sell the Bones light at a lower price than their other offerings.

TangoDown Light Portal Front Sight (FFA-02)

By on October 18, 2016 in Flashlights, Guns

TangoDown’s FFA-01 Front Sight Flashlight Adapter, released in 2012, was one of the first attempts at integrating a front sight and 12 o’clock mounted weapon light. The FFA-01 was essentially a specially designed front sight tower that could mount to an extended rail and encompass the bezel of the Surefire X300. It worked well and represented an evolutionary step forward for 12 o’clock mounted weapon lights.

TangoDown is reviving the idea, albeit in a slimmed down format, with the introduction of the Light Portal Front Sight (FFA-02) for the Surefire XC-1. The original FFA-01 was made from steel but the new FFA-02 is machined from aluminum (hard anodized finish). The combination of aluminum construction and the svelte XC-1 should make for a compact, lightweight set up.

From TangoDown:

TangoDown is excited to announce a new item for the tactical community! The Light Portal Front Sight (FFA-02) is a combination weapon light mount & front sight all in one compact package. The FFA-02 was developed to give shooters the ability to place a weapon light on the 12:00 rail without obstructing the front sight. This weapon light mount accommodates the SureFire™ XC-1 Pistol Light, creating a lightweight option if you’re looking to reduce the weight on your carbine. Maintaining a hand forward shooting position makes activating the XC-1 weapon light easy and quick.

**Limited Availability

MSRP: $95.00
