UPDATE! The fate of this flashlight is unknown. Surefire is trying to decide whether or not to continue with this project. If you have placed an order for this light, we will hold onto it until we get a definite answer. If you have further questions please call Surefire as we do not have any further information.
Control freaks—this is the flashlight for you. And for
anyone who appreciates the very best of the best. The
SureFire Optimus is everything every flashlight has aspired
to be but has always fallen short of achieving—until now.
Never before has a single illumination tool offered a user
so much functionality.
Eleven settings ensure that the pocket-sized Surefire Optimus is
ready for virtually any situation, environment, or circumstance.
Set its magnetic selector ring to any of eight preset
output levels ranging from two lumens (enough to read
a map) to 200 lumens of blinding light that’s instantly
available by pressing its Max Blast™ tailcap all the way
down. Having this maximum output always at the ready
is crucial in high-stress or self-defense situations where
you need maximum output right away.
For a tactical advantage that doesn’t involve overwhelming
an aggressor’s eyesight with 200 lumens of electronically
regulated LED light, switch the Optimus to its strobe
setting and stun him with bright, flickering light designed
to disorient and confuse. And should you ever need an
emergency beacon, just set the Optimus to its SOS setting
and stick it where a passing rescue plane, boat, or vehicle
can see it. To help you get the most out of your batteries,
the Optimus even features a built-in fuel gauge that lets
you know when you should consider switching to a lower
output level or changing batteries.
Multiple settings and output levels aren’t the only things
that make this flashlight so unique. The versatile Optimus
also lets you select the right beam for the right job. Simply
twist its bezel to change the beam’s light distribution from
spot to flood and any point in between—without any
deterioration in beam quality, thanks to SureFire’s revolutionary
Vari-Beam™ technology. While other flashlights
with so-called “spot-to-flood” capability alter the beam
by moving a reflector closer to or farther from the emitter—
an antiquated method that essentially de-focuses the
beam, resulting in rapid degradation—the Optimus uses
precision optics to redistribute the light’s energy. The result
is a pure beam that’s always in focus.
The ultra-adaptable Surefire Optimus even lets you control how you
carry it. Leave the pocket clip on to carry it in your pocket,
or remove it and holster the light. Taking it off also lets
you take full advantage of the Optimus’ CombatGrip,™
a stepped-down body that provides a secure hold in any
weather and makes it easier to pair the Optimus with a
handgun. All of this functionality and control add up to one
undeniable fact: The SureFire Optimus is one of the most
useful handheld illumination tools ever built.
