Well after several years of watching, waiting, and wishing it appears that the SureFire Dominator has finally become a reality outside of trade shows! It will probably be another week or so before I can wrap up a full review with runtime information, beamshots, etc. but, for the time being, I can share some photos and info.
The finished product looks pretty much like what was shown at the 2014 SHOT Show with the big Luminus CBT-90 emitter pumping out 2,400 lumens and more than 200,000 candela. An 11 position selector ring allows the selection of 9 distinct output modes, a strobe mode, and an OFF position. A trio of buttons on the body allow the user to select constant-on operation (at the level selected by the selector ring), momentary operation, and constant-on maximum output (regardless of selector ring position).
The Dominator comes with a universal AC charger, 12VDC car charger, rechargeable battery, backup primary battery carrier, rubber tail and bezel guards, lanyard/sling ring, nylon shoulder sling, a dozen SureFire CR123 primary batteries, and the usual paperwork.
The included Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack is rated at 7.5V and 2800mAh and is enclosed in an anodized aluminum casing. The backup primary battery carrier holds 12 CR123s and is wired in a ~12V configuration. All electrical contacts are at the head.
The listed output specs are 14 lumens in the lowest mode, 185 lumens in "medium" and the full 2400 lumens in the highest output mode. The remaining modes are spaced between these levels at a roughly 2:1 ratio.
Needless to say, this is a large light. Although I have never handled a Medieval mace, I have to think it would have felt something like this. The huge head is not just for show and accounts for a substantial portion of the light's 2.4 lb weight. It makes the M6LT look downright puny in comparison!
I would consider the included sling a must-have accessory if carrying the Dominator for an extended length of time!
That's all for now. I will update this thread as the review progresses :twothumbs
