Surefire Aviator, any equivalents ?

[Mountain Man]

I have a Nitecore MT10A. Love it. But i need more red light at a outdoor Event i work for ( Halloween haunts).
I like the Aviator, but seems the red is discontinued ?? Is there a newer model coming ??


Does anybody else make a similar quality light.

Thanks, MM

Along Surefire quality....anything with the CWF dragon driver will have a red high mode when the AUX led color is red. High mode is really bright. 3 red LEDs will make up the brightness.

It's ballpark price to the Surefire aviator, and American crafted:

A lesser cost alternative is to use your 6P as a host and get a red drop-in for it.
I could possibly make you a P6 dropin if you can't find a solution. I can order a deep red 660nm LED.

An option would be a HDS light with red LED. But currently HDS does not offer red, thererore only a used HDS may ne found... But the price is price is high but the quality also...

Amazon has the white/red variant for $260 @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYMMK6Y/?tag=cpf0b6-20

Which incarnation of the Aviator are you searching for (3 individual LED secondary emitters)? Jetbeam's RRT-26 uses this configuration but the secondary LEDs are RGB (triple colour output), whilst the Jetbeam M1 Guardian & Fenix TK25 feature higher output secondary LEDS (140LM+).

Have you tried a red diffuser on your MT10A?

Hmm , that 6p idea is an option.

Looking for newest version Aviator.

Im going to have to look around. You jolted my memory, i think i might still have a red lens in a drawer for one of the lights.

Let me know. Here's the LED I would order. I've got a dozen of P6 dropins to build so this gives me something to do with 1.
I guarantee nothing else out there will come close to a 660nm red.

Or if you already have a 6P you could pick up a Surefire FM35 red filter. I have seen several on E-bay.

 

[Monocrom]

Yup, slap an SF red filter on an SF 6P would be the easiest solution.

 

[IMA SOL MAN]

They are listed now on the SF web site. Reasonably priced, but look like cheap plastic, not metal.

 

[Monocrom]

Yeah, their filters have always been plastic.

 

[IMA SOL MAN]

Yeah, their filters have always been plastic.

Oh, I thought they were made of the same aluminum that the flashlights were made of. My mistake.
