Surefire A2
Aviator®
White, Red, Green, Blue
or Yellow-Green LED's £169.99
Originally developed for
professional aviators -- who needed a light bright enough to illuminate a
747's tail section from the ground, yet not so bright that it would degrade
their night vision when used in the cockpit -- the A2 Aviator is perfect for
anyone needing a high and low beam in a single long-running flashlight. In
other words, it's perfect for campers, hikers, boaters, everyone.
Constructed of aerospace grade
aluminium with a super-rugged, military specification hard-anodized finish,
and powered by two lithium batteries (10-year shelf life), the 5.6 inch, 4.0
ounce Aviator features a high-output incandescent lamp surrounded by three
LEDs (light emitting diodes) set in a specially designed parabolic
reflector. The Aviator's LEDs are available in five colour choices: White,
Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green, the latter being the most-used colour
for aviation cockpit displays.
The Aviator's unique digitally
controlled two-stage switching mechanism allows the user to choose LEDs for
close-up work or the high output lamp for full power applications. Digital
current regulation circuitry provides a more consistent (even) level of
incandescent light output and colour temperature for the useable life of the
batteries.
Even after the Aviator's
batteries have been depleted to the point that they will no longer power its
incandescent lamp, plenty of energy remains to power the LEDs for many more
hours. The digital current regulation circuitry also extends the life of the
incandescent lamp by allowing for a "soft start" instead of subjecting the
tungsten filament to the potentially damaging voltage spike that occurs when
turning on an unregulated
light.
