Some of you might have read my previous two reviews of the predecessor models of the Wiseled Tactical..
Well, recently, I was on the phone with the manager of Wiseled, and he offered me to visit him to have a talk about flashlights and check out the newest release from the manufactory:
The Wiseled Tactical 2000 Lumen!
I later left with one that I will now review!
Once I turned it on..... WOW, what an incredible fload of light! :twothumbs
The Seoul P4 LED's emit a whopping 2,000+ Lumens for 2 hours and 15 minutes (Full Boost) and can last for 24 hours a the lowest setting...
I was also happy to learn that the Tactical does not get hot nearly as quickly as the predecessor version and does thus not throttle down already after 15 minutes.. Actually, I used the Tactical for more than an hour on full boost before it throttled down, but this was barely noticeable!
A feature that I had missed on the earlier versions was some kind of battery indicator, giving you an idea of how much battery power is left..
I am happy to tell you that THIS version has an ingenious inbuilt battery level indicator:
At the tail of the flashlight, a blue or orange flashing light gives you the crucial information needed when you're diving (300 ft submersible!) or when you are out there on a mission where you want to know exactly how much power is left:
NOTE THAT I ENGAGE THE 500 WATT STROBE DURING THIS VIDEO, SO PLEASE WEAR YOUR SUNGLASSES!

As you can see, the tail flashes.. in this example telling you that the Tactical is fully charged.
Another update: The charging cradle does not emit an orange light during charging (full charge takes an estimated 3 hours from a totally run-out battery):
More great news:
Soon - on the Wiseled site - IRDA will become availible for the Tactical so that you can make your very own settings to the flashlight via a PC with IRDA or via an IRDA dongle! :twothumbs
All goes throught the tail that will turn constant blue during the process:
Now for some beam shots... As you can see from the black surroundings, all of them have been taking in complete darkness!
The Tactical 2,000 literally turns night into day!
On this pic, there are some bushes along the road.. you cannot see them:
Now you can...
Here's a shot taking inside a pitch black park. There's 200 yards distance to the bushes at the back:
From some back yards:
Is anyone hiding under those stairs? I'd better check!
The Tactical has no problem throwing its beam up to the 5th. floor of this building:
Or onto this other building that's 200 yards away:
:goodjob:, Wiseled! :twothumbs

- Two quick blue flashes: 80 to 100 % charged.
- Four quick blue flashes: 60 to 80 % charged.
- Two quick orange flashes: 40 to 60 % charged.
- Four quick orange flashes: 20 to 40 % charged.
- Constant orange: under 20 % left
