SureFire R1 Lawman

[Robin24k]

Might as well start a new thread for this light that will be available soon.

Updated specs are as follows:

• Battery: 3.6V 2900mAh Li-Ion (or 2 x 123A)
• High: 750 lumens for 1h 45min (500 lumens for 1h 15min)
• Medium: 150 lumens for 5h 15min (150 lumens for 4h 15min)
• Low: 15 lumens for 37h (15 lumens for 22h)
• Electronic head switch with memory

Stay tuned...we'll have a review up in about a week.

Projected price on this bad boy?

[Robin24k]

Oops, that's an important number, isn't it?

All I have right now is that MSRP is $455...of course, dealers now set the price, so it will end up being less.

Good news. But can't believe the light Surefire has released use li-ion 18650.

[pjandyho]

Now with all the budget cuts going on everywhere, does Surefire still think that they would be able to secure more sales to the military and LE agencies at such prices?

Hello recharging port and status light..

That light looks bad ass. Nice runtimes. Can't wait for ANSI OTF readings!

They can offset lost SureFire CR123 sales with a high upfront retail price.

[ledmitter]

I'm seeing the light is only 300 lumens everywhere.



Different model?

Thanks for the link. ledmitter!

Looks like the light has a built-in rechargeable li-ion cell.

Look at the current catalog.
Its rated at 700 lumens.

They mentioned at the Shot Show they waited to release it because of new LED tech. They wanted to have the better emmitter in it when released instead of updating it later.

[spc smith]

But the price!!.. oh the SF price

[Robin24k]

It was originally 300 lumens, then upgraded to XM-L for 700 lumens, and now the production version will have 750 lumens and three modes.

SureFire doesn't use the ANSI specs, but they are OTF lumens.

Interesting, I wonder if due to the internal charging if it will use a proprietary battery or if it's smart enough to charge any 18650?

[Sgt. LED]

If it won't charge any 18650 it can be modded to

[Robin24k]

It has a proprietary battery pack with three connectors (+, -, and 3.7V). I think the third pin is for identification, as the CR123 carrier does not carry voltage on that pin.

Looks like we should be seeing these in the wild soon for around $350. I noticed one for sale in an online auction for about that price which made me think it would go for less than that once they hit all the stores.

A quick internet search turned up an online retailer with the same price and one for a little less so who knows?

[Robin24k]

Couple more bits of information...the Li-Ion is a Panasonic 2900mAh 18650, and the 123A battery carrier puts the cells in parallel, indicating that the circuitry is buck/boost. It can run off of a single LFP123A, but it's not going to give you much runtime at all.

Available now for $341 and change at BrightGuy

Guess Ill have to call and see if they actually have it IN STOCK. Optics planet said theirs is pre-order only, and if they dont have it no-one else does either. I call BS on that, but searching the web turns up little to no results with regard to this light being for sale anywhere....Opticsplanet and eBay are the only two that come up.

Im hoping to be able to get it for around $320, but not holding my breath. Was also hoping it would be shipping by now too, but not surprising from Surefire. I guess most times the wait is worth it though.

[Lodogg2221]

Definitely BS....Brightguy does indeed have one in stock!

[utlgoa]

Now would be a great time for Led Lenser to upgrade the M7R to a Cree XML.

The M7R is regulated, rechargeable, and sells for approx $54.00.

Runtime test for medium mode posted.

[Lodogg2221]

So is it a thrower?

[Robin24k]

Nope...peak beam intensity is ~16000cd.

[Melson]

The price is kind of disappointing to me. If it was 250 I would eventually succumb to its pull and buy one

I wonder if they have plans to release the UNR Commander or UBR Invictus Rechargeable that were showcased at SHOT Show.

It looks like someone needs to do a Fenix RC10 vs Surefire Lawman review Any takers??

[qwertyydude]

Additional feature, special donut holder feature. You can stack 4 donuts through the handle.

Considering the LX2 was over $200 originally, Id have had a hard time believing they could get this one done for under $300. Price isnt too bad considering.
I was all set to pull the trigger yesterday, but figure I dont have to have it right now, Ill wait until more places have them in stock and see if the price goes down at all.

Looking at the UNR Commander (another new one on my list of things I want but wont be able to justify, lol), the body looks identical. Id guess the tail cap is different due to the different switch advertised, and obviously the head since its a TIR lens. Given that, it shouldnt be too awful long before its released. Id bet it will be close to $400.

On my list of lights to buy, should they be released is the UM2 Ultra and the LX2 Ultra. Might also sell my E1B and get the EB1, or keep it and have both...lol.

A guy could go broke fast buying Surefires, but so far, all of mine have been well worth the cost.

What's the diameter of the body?
