Do these features exist in a single light?

[JS_280]

I'm relatively new to flashlights, but I've searched through the forums and haven't seen anything like this...can you tell me if there is a production light with all of these features?

• Single 14500 or CR123 body
• White center LED with ~200 lumen output
• Red LED ring (like SF Aviator)
• Programmable UI (preferably like the Quark Tactical)
• Forward clicky

Thanks for your help.

Yes... sort of

Ra Clicky originally offered a model with white & red LED. The red output was not, as I recall, as bright as that of the A2 but it still gives red.

Not programmable is the Photon Proton Pro, which also offers both white and red output.

The Surefire K2 Kroma also offers white and red output (and blue and if you have the MilSpec edition, IR and yellow-green), but no programmability, no clicky (Surefire's 2-stage tailcap instead), and is 2x123.

Your best bet will likely be to create a 'cap'. This means you go to a craft store and buy some red clear plastic and then use a cap that fits your light such as a chap stick cap or glue-stick or whatever fits.
Then cut the end and make your own red-cap.

Most lights with red LEDs built in are either really expensive or they are walmart garbage, or the red is weaksauce from what I have seen. If you are willing to create your own red-filter, this greatly expands your buying options.

Theres tons of 1xAA lights and 1xCR123 lights out there so you can browse to find the one that best fits your criteria. Just make sure the light can handle 14500s of course to get the desired brightness.
