surefire L1 question

since the surefire L1 is regulated

will the high beam just stop working when the battery is too low?
instead of gradually dimming?

That's a good question. I haven't reached that point in my L1.

IF the L1 works like the L2, the light will dim REALLY quickly and if you let the batteries rest for amoment, it'll jump back up (or try to) high and then fall back down. After the batteries can't even try to spike up to high, itll stay on low until it dies.

I would compare it to a weight lifter on his last shred of energy, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get past that pont and gently lowers the weight back onto the rack.

Yeah, the way the L2 works is that it puts out regulated light on high until it can't support it anymore, then it steps down to the low level.

is low level regulated on the L1?

IIRC, no.

Mine dies really fast. When it goes, it goes. You'd better have a spare battery or another light right with you. It is the "old" type though, with the floody beam and the flat front.

Does anyone know if the newer types are like that too?
