SUREFIRE WEAPON LIGHT
RECHARGEABLE CONVERSION
345 LUMENS
TWO HOURS RUN TIME
CHARGER INCLUDED
$175 SHIPPED

Hi guys,
I have made one rechargeable conversion of a Surefire 6P flashlight, into a weapon light of 345 lumens.


Of course Surefire have one, but it is 120 lumens for 20 minutes, using two of the 123's batteries ($4) every 20 minutes and costing $380
http://www.surefire.com/M951XM07-with-Dual-Thumbscrew-Mount


So, I thought I could do better.

You can mount this baby in a 5.56 mm a 50 caliber or a shotgun, it will shrug recoil no matter what caliber you shoot.
How come?

I have machined the interior of the Surefire body, to accept the use of a premium quality Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.
The lamp have a very heavy spring that acts as a shock absorber and the one piece battery really doesn’t have room to move forward

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/Flashlights%202/surerech.jpg

The special machined Surefire body is a part of the equation.
The Lamp is a new one by Thru Nite, it is the new Cree R-5 and output and incredible 345 lumens (well more than any Surefire weapon light)

The tail cap has a remote cable switch with pressure pad, so you can place it on the stock of your rifle or shotgun, under your thumb. Yes thumb pressure will activate the light.

Usually this type of light uses 123’s batteries, they go fast under the power of 345 lumens, so I opted for a long run time battery, rechargeable, that will last you close to 2 hours of run time.

Moreover, when you are unsure of how much battery juice is in the battery, just pop it into the charger and you get a full charged battery, ideal if you practice much night shooting with your AR.

You cannot do that with 123’s primary batteries unless you are willing to dump expensive half used batteries.
Li Ion technology will provide extend use if you don’t use the light, an occasional full top charge every 5 months will keep the battery at full capacity.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/Flashlights%202/2010_022322ruger0011beamof345l.jpg

I have used a crenellated bezel up front, but I also have available a bezel with no crenellated, if the buyer so desire.

I provide the light with a Weaver ring, or a heavy QD lever mount so you only have to clamp it to a Weaver or Picatinny mount.

E-mail me if you want to mount it on a sporting rifle and need to know which mount to use and where in the rifle to put it.
As I have barrel mounts, scope mounts and Picatinnys rails for the sporting rifles.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/Flashlights%202/2010_022322ruger0013.jpg


Charger good for 110 to 240 volts, I provide plugs for Australian, European or UK if necessary

$175 shipped in the USA
$190 shipped International

If you are not interested in the rechargeable system, I provide the light with two 123's batteries.
In that configuration the light is $135 (With curly cord pressure switch and Quick Detach lever mount)

Also write me at this e-mail if you need more information or want to pay with money order.

If you PM me here, it will take longer to answer you, as I am working away from the computer, while e-mails I always can answer from my cell phone.

SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

Surefire weapon lights are very good, but they run on RC123’s batteries, which are costly (around $2 each for the Surefire brand).

A two battery Surefire will do 65 lumens for 1 hour on two batteries or 120 lumens for 20 minutes with the P-61 lamp.

A 3 battery weapon light will do 200 lumens on three 123’s batteries for 20 minutes.

That is $18.00 in batteries for one hour to throw a 200 lumens beam, with a lamp’s life of 36 hours.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/Flashlights%202/twolights.jpg


You can see such a light (a Surefire 9P) on the picture left. On the right side is my offering of the tactical weapon light with a lamp life of 50,000 hours, running on a rechargeable battery with 2 hours run time, and outputting 300 lumens.


The battery life is 2,000 hours (it can be recharged 1,000 times) after that, a new battery will cost $23 shipped.

If you were to use the Surefire 200 lumens light for 2,000 hours you will spend $36,000 in batteries.

Stop wasting money in expensive 123’s and e-mail me for the tactical weapon conversion.
And it’s shorter and lighter too.

I offer three different mounts for your weapon light, an all steel, quick detachable LEVER mount, an ultralight Weaver style mount and a Daniel Defense style offset mount.

Why an offset?
It can serve you well if you have only a long top Picatinny rail (where your scope is) the offset will take the flashlight out of the line of sight if you want to mount it on the top rail

Also very practical for those that use a vertical fore grip.

Very excited about the new lamp, it is a real winner.

PRESENTING THE NEW
LION BOREALIS 1,150-LUMEN FLASHLIGHT

After 6 years of handcrafting the Borealis Rolls Royce, I have stopped making them in favor of the new LION BOREALIS.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/optics/2004_03280018.jpg

The new light uses a different and new power source: three newly developed Lithium Ion, fully protected batteries.
The new batteries power the 3 ½ amps of the powerful Borealis bulb, and will produce 47 minutes of runtime.

Three extra batteries (for extra runtime) are available for $69.

The new Lion Borealis is $300 shipped, and includes two chargers and a cigarette lighter (12 volts) cord.

Since it is made with the “host” of the 4C format, it is much lighter than the Borealis Rolls Royce, at 12 ¾” long and 19 oz heavy.

It uses the same bulb and reflector of the famous Borealis Rolls Royce, so beam quality, throw distance and flood spread remain the same.
Extensive tests were done in hot, cold, underwater, and muddy environments, and the new LION (short for Li Ion batteries) is as sturdy and dependable as the old Rolls Royce.

Please e-mail me at jcharles11784(at)yahoo(dot)com for more information. My PayPal is the same as the address above.
Looking forward to being of service.

dude, that one in the first post is awesome, the springed bulb is a great idea, recoil kills lights. if you made one with a strobe function i would be sold. please consider it. and keep up the good work!

For a weapon light I prefer the straight 350 lumens (1 level) lamp, the throw is fantastic, you can easily see animals at 140 yards using a 4x scope, so it is ideal for hunting as well as defense.

I DO have a 5 function lamp that feature strobe, it is :
level 1, 350 lumens for 2 hours
level 2 175 lumens for 4 hours
level 3 50 lumens for 24 hours
level 4 350 lumens strobe
level 5 350 lumens SOS

For the mounts I have your choice of a lightweight aluminum mount
the all steel quick detach LEVER mount
or the Daniel Defense style offset mount

For a pressure pad switch, I have straight cord for rifles or curly cord for shotguns
