SureFire Torches and Flashlights

Aviation

The best lights in the world for your flight bag. Whether you are a bush pilot or commercial airline pilot you will immediately see the value of a small, lightweight and reliable torch that slips unobtrusively into your flight bag or pocket and yet is 4 times brighter than that old 2kg D-cell torch that you’ve been lugging on and of of aeroplanes for years. SureFire lithium powered lights have a battery shelf-life of ten years, and are crafted to aircraft industry tolerances on the latest 11-axis CNC machinery from the highest quality materials, so you know they will work when you need them. So exceptionally light and compact, you will never notice any extra baggage. The E2e Executive Elite weighs an unobtrusive 90 grams , and delivers an incredible 60 lumens of pure white light (bright enough to light up the tail of a 747 from the ground) for 75 minutes of continuous runtime.

The incredible A2 Aviator was developed with pilots in mind because pilots have special needs for a dual power, variable output flashlight. First, a pilot needs to inspect his aircraft, check the wing surfaces, look over the ailerons, make sure that the landing gear is in order etc. Once inside the aircraft, the pilot may want to glance over his flight map, check his radio settings or rummage through is carry-on bag for something he needs. If these activities occur at night or in low-light conditions, his eyes will have adapted to the dark and he will not want the sort of dazzling bright light that he needed when do his pre-flight. He would prefer the sort of low intensity, diffused light that LED’s provide. In short a pilot needs both bright and dimmer light in a compact light-weight package and that was the blueprint for the development of the A2 Aviator. The Aviator is 14.2 cm’s long and weighs just 113 grams. It features a high-output incandescent lamp (providing 50 lumens or over three times the light output of a typical 2D-ceel torch) surrounded by three 5mm LED’s (producing 3 lumens) in a specially designed reflector. The user can control the light output he requires with a clever two-stage tail-cap switch.

Our Advanced Rechargeables offer the same pure white light with the added benefit of a lowered cost of operation for mechanics and ground crew who use a light continuously but don't require the ultra-compact size of the smaller lithium battery-powered SureFires. For pre-flights and all safety critical applications, you can rely on your SureFire to give you a perfectly smooth and brilliant white light, every time. If you fly for a living or for recreation, you need a SureFire.
