In the July 2008 issue of Outside magazine on page 112 they have a picture of a Surefire headlamp! It's supposedly called the Saint. They say 100 lumens in the blurb.

I can't find any info anywhere about this. Anybody know what's up?
 
Re: Surefire Saint headlamp?

I just got off the phone with a very friendly lady at Surefire. The Saint does exist, but she had no specs yet. She said it should be available at dealers in early August and available through Surefire's website August 31st.

Re: Surefire Saint headlamp?

Hope this headlamp is not another piece of vapourware like the Fenix headlamp.

Can someone post a scan of the page?

:wtf::faint::party:! With all the announcements and pre-order threads for the new SF lights, there was no mention of this... and they are planning on delivery in August? How did we miss this?!

Size15's, as you seem to be somewhat of a SF guru, can you shed any... uh, light, on this one? :popcorn:

I dragged myself to the bookstore today just to check this out.

Yup, there it was... the Saint, $150. I don't have a means right now of scanning or taking pictures or I would've brought the magazine home to share the image.

From the magazine pic (tiny), it looks like it'll have a rear-placed battery pack (there's a cable running along the side of the headband. It also has a top (elastic?) band.

The LED assembly is cylindrical, with 2 thick knobs at the ends. The battery cable goes on one end. I can only imagine the other is the on/off/selector knob? Looked like the typical SF HA finish.

The LED seemed to be in the middle of the cylinder, but the pic was too tiny to really see if it had an optic system or if it was an "open" LED like the H30/50's.

All I can say is... :popcorn:

Typical of Surefire. . . . . they make a really fantastic body for an LED that is a lot dimmer than it should/could be. If I am going to waste my money buying CR123's for a headlamp, it had better put out something in the neighborhood of 200 Lumens on high. . . .

I guess we can hope that Hong Kong comes up with some drop-ins for the best American-made headlamp.

I'll hold out for the Fenix headlamp. . . .I'm sure it will approach 200 lumens and will likely be able to do that using two or three rechargeable AA's
