CAMILLUS OMBU X-33 LED BLK 3 watt and thought Hmmmmm .. kinda cool
In the world of Tactical LED lighting, OMBU means top of the line performance in this new-to-the USA line of tactical style lighting. The new X-33, 3 watt Luxeon LED torch is a continuation of the legacy begun with the 5 watt X-55 but in a 3 watt Luxeon LED design and with TWO light levels. This puts you in control of the type of light you need for the situation. In many night-acclimated uses, the low level, 7 lumen light level will be quite sufficient and even desirable. (No need to wreck your retina!) But if and when you really need some photons, click the switch once more for a brilliant 45 lumens of LED output. A design you will really appreciate. The lower light level will give up to 30 hours or more burn time. Expect about 2- 8 hours on high or many more hours if used intermittently. BTW, the assertive styling of the X-33 isn't just for good looks. The body provides for sure-grip handling with its crocodile grip and the scalloped lens hood allows you to see that the light has been left on even when face down on a surface. And in an emergency, that lens edge could be used tactically in self defense. The circuits and the bodies are designed and assembled in Spain with expertise and old world craftsmanship.
Please note that intermittent usage where burn times are under 5 minutes can increase battery life significantly. And you get all this from a light weighing 3.7oz and measuring 5 inches by 1 inch at the head and with a light source that will never need replacement. Two CR123's are included. The light cone cast by the torch is a rather tight 15 inch spot at 10 feet. This pocket-size wonder really goes for the distance. The OMBU X-33 is water-tight, o-ring sealed throughout, though not yet rated to a depth beyond several feet.
