The A2 Aviator is ideal for anyone spending long periods in the dark. Combining two flashlights into one, it will work wonders virtually anywhere. Its 50 lumen Xenon high-beam is more powerful than a 3 D-cell flashlight and will light up anything you need to see, while the low intensity, 3 lumen soft red LEDs will provide you with ample light for close-up work without ruining your eyes' natural night vision.
Featuring Surefire's ingenious power switch, you can easily toggle between momentary and constant on settings for both the low and high beams. Simply push and hold the power button half way for low beam or all the way for full beam (for momentary use) or twist the tail cap half way for low or all the way for high (for constant use).
The A2's beam is impeccable. It's metal vapor coated reflector ensures the beam is always in focus, with no rings or spots.
And it's designed smart too. Digital current regulation circuitry works to make sure the light shines equally bright whether your batteries have 99% or 9% remaining life. Batteries will last up to 60 minutes on the high setting and an amazing 20+ hours on the low setting.
If you're a camper, astronomer, spend a lot of time outdoors or simply work the night shift, this is the flashlight for you.
What's so great about ... a red LED low beam?
Ever notice that after a few minutes in the dark, your eyes begin to adapt and see better? That's because it takes time for your pupils to dilate (or dark-adapt) to filter in more light. People with dark adapted eyes find it incredibly annoying to suddenly look into a bright light because it's overwhelming and somewhat painful to the eye. More importantly, it ruins your night vision. Even if the bright light is on for only a second, it will take you several minutes before your eyes become dark-adapted again.
But soft red lights are easy on dark-adapted eyes. Using the low beam mode of the A2 will provide you with ample up-close illumination with minimal disruption to your night vision. That makes it great for anyone who spends long evenings or shifts in the dark.
