For larger quantities of 123A lithium batteries please see the Surefire Batteries page.
Very similar to the L5, a longer running model that uses three 123A lithium batteries. Featuring an elongated reflector designed to throw a far-reaching LED beam into the dead of night. a patented CombatGrip featuring a sleeker, stepped down body for a secure hold in slippery conditions or while shooting a firearm. A tactically advantageous tailcap switch for precision control. The Surefire L6 LumaMax is equipped for combat situations, but it performs heroically no matter what the job.
The L6's high output, long running LED cranks out an impressive 100 lumens of brilliant, focused light. This runs for over 4 hours on a single set of batteries. Its virtually unbreakable LED is protected by a tough Pyrex window and regulated by electronic circuitry that is o-ring sealed inside the L6's hard-anodized aluminium body. This rugged, combat ready flashlight is durable enough to endure all kinds of abuse: water, dust, extreme temperatures, impact, whatever comes your way.
Surefire CombatGrip
The L5 and L6 Lumamax models make use of Surefire CombatGrip. A grip that allows a user to hold a flashlight while holding a handgun is an important feature in military and law enforcement applications. Surefire's CombatGrip, a stepped down body with a rubber grip ring, lets the user hold the flashlight with one hand, like a syringe, while maintaining two-handed control over a firearm. It is also perfect for hanging onto in just about any conditions, even while wearing gloves.
What goes into a Surefire LED Torch
There is a lot of buzz about light emitting diodes (LEDs) and for a good reason. LEDs allow runtimes that were previously unattainable on a single set of batteries. When it comes to longevity, they are in a class by themselves, the thousands-of-hours class. That is because they are a solid state device, no filament to burn out or break, no gas or liquid components, no glass to break. Just a semiconductor chip that converts electrical energy into light, which it disperses through a tough, clear polymer covering.
LED output levels are approaching, even surpassing in some cases, those of incandescents. But for raw lighting power, Surefire’s three, four and six battery incandescents are still the way to go. However, and incandescent lamp becomes particularly useless if the power level drops below the amount of energy required to make its filament glow white hot. An LED, on the other hand, continues to function at power levels below its maximum output level. Which means an LED will continue to run – albeit at lower and lower output levels. So you get more useful light for a longer period of time with an LED flashlight than with an incandescent.
Not all LEDs are created equal. They can vary greatly in quality, even supposedly identical LEDs made at the same facility. Surefire uses only the finest, highest quality LEDs in its illumination tools. They are electronically controlled for maximum efficiency, focused by a reflector or Total Internal Reflection lens for a perfect beam, and housed in a rugged, weatherproof, knurled aerospace grade aluminium body that keeps the elements out and your flashlight in hand.
