Elzetta continues to build the suite of accessories available for their modular flashlights. The newest is a red version of their drop-in flood lens. This new version diffuses the light over a wide area and helps to preserve your dark adjusted vision. I suspect this would work especially well with the high/low tail cap to provide a low output, long runtime lighting option that preserves dark adjusted vision.

Imagine, if you will, what 900 lumens face melting lumens looks like coming from a typical flashlight. You have a bright hotspot in the center that gradually tapers to a dimmer corona around the hotspot and a then a hard transition to darkness at the edge. This is great for general purpose because it provides some throw and some spill but what if you know you don’t need throw? What if your light only needs to reach across a room and it would be best if you had a wider, more evenly lit beam so that you could get the most information into your eyes regarding who or what may be lurking in that room with bad intentions?
Now imagine those same 900 lumens coming at you as a single, unified, and unrelenting wall of light. There are no dark spots – just one eye searing wave of light. That is what the new Elezetta Drop-in FLOOD Lens provides. As the name would suggest, this lens simply drops in to the new Elzetta Bravo and Charlie High Output Modular Flashlights. It is designed to smooth and widen the beam. With the Drop-in FLOOD Lens installed, the beam is evenly bright across most of its width with a gradual taper to dark at the extreme edges rather than a stark transition to dark like flashlights that utilize a reflector.
The applications are obvious. This is an advantageous beam profile for just about any application in which you don’t need to illuminate objects at great distances. If you need to view an entire room at once or work on something at arms length, this is what you want.

I may have just found my next EDC flashlight.
Elzetta’s new 1 cell Alpha Modular light looks like it has some serious potential. The single battery format, new pocket clip, and legendary Elzetta toughness should make it a great EDC. This will be the first Elzetta light offered with a pocket clip and that is good news for those of you who already own an Elzetta Bravo or Charlie because the clip will be compatible with those models too.

It is easy for me to recommend Elzetta flashlight lights when people ask which flashlight to buy. They are the toughest lights that I have ever seen, modular enough to grow with technology, and they are made by some great folks right here in the USA. Thanks to the introduction of their new high output options, it just became even easier to recommend Elzetta lights.
From Elzetta:
Elzetta Design, LLC is pleased to announce new High Output options to its line of tactical flashlights. When fitted to an Elzetta 2-Cell Body, the new High Output Head produces 650 lumens with a runtime of 1.5 hours. When the same Head is placed on a 3-Cell Body, patent-pending Automatic Voltage Sensing (AVS) Technology instinctively boosts output to 900 lumens with a runtime of 1.7 hours. To harness this much light, the new Elzetta High Output Head incorporates a solid-acrylic field-replaceable optical lens generating outstanding throw, generous spill, and a “soft edge” that no reflector-based flashlight can replicate. The new High Output Head is available with a smooth Standard Bezel Ring or optional Crenellated Bezel Ring. The Head fits all existing Elzetta Flashlights for easy upgrade, and with fully-potted electronics, legendary Elzetta durability is not compromised. All Elzetta Flashlight components are Made in the USA, interchangeable, interoperable, and available individually for the ultimate in modularity and customization. Elzetta Flashlights are now available in 96 unique configurations. With personalized laser engraving from the Elzetta Custom Shop, variations are truly limitless.
