Most important changes seem to be:
I'm not impressed that they're still playing catch-up to the Polarion Helios and Night Reaper, but it is news nonetheless.
- The HF4 features two settings; High: 3,000 lumens and Low: 1,000 lumens and also offers a strobe setting (comment: strobe mode is interesting - output still is not in PH40 range let alone NR range)
- The biggest improvement is the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery pack that will run the HF4 at full output for 30 minutes which is in addition to the 12v vehicle or BA-5590 power adapters. (half the runtime of a Helios)
- The HF4's reflector has also been modified to improve beam reach and offer wider peripheral light for situational awareness. (They have finally moved to a smooth reflector - time will tell if it's as good as the Polarion reflector)
- SureFire has ingeniously integrated the carrying handle for dismounted use into the weapon mount. The mount itself has also been modified to include both the original heavy-duty T-rail clamp as well as an intermediary adapter mount that permits attaching the HF4 to a Picatinny rail. (a carry handle? revolutionary. sorry, I just had to.)
