Re: Surefire Aviator release date?
Wow, the beam definitely looks better! I wonder if the optic or LED are changed?

Veeeeeeery nice!
I did not expect the clean beam pattern. SF TIR does evolve.
I wonder if they did the Vampire route by using a single LED with two dies, or two separate LEDs that move into focus.
To Search and Rescue: does the product box and literature still say 20 hours on low for the white output?
The real question is, is the beam cleaner then on it's V1 vampire brother? I bought a V1 vampire, but returned it because of all the artifacts and rings in the beam! They are great looking lights!
Very nice!! Now Does this light come on high first then low or low then high?
I have been seeing mixed UI on this light so just want to get this clarified. Thanks.
Hi JPA261,
yes this light come on low then high. Thanks. :buddies:
Does it take the old E series filters? If so I may buy an Amber and use the red filter around the house. Otherwise the red seems more useful to me.
Anyone having an amber one, is Low too bright at night?
Thanks for the answer!!

12 hours of runtime on high with the yellow LED vs 2.75 with the amber? im confused.
...this head is very sturdy. In fact, the head is so sturdy, I had to carefully apply some 100% pure silicone spray into the crevice while the ring was pulled out and in between modes....
How convenient is that head pull-twist interface, in practice?
Does really no one else miss the z62-style dual stage twisty for instant access to both spectrums? Let's say I have successfully modded an Elite head with three clean holes in the reflector, and stuffed in a custom but simple mini LED ring, just like in an incan A2 with a smaller outside diameter, and crammed the 10ohm resister guts of a z62 into a z61....
