SUREFIRE L4 LUMAMAX
A couple of weeks ago my wife told me that she needed a good portable flashlight to use when she does night photography. Since I had a very serviceable Surefire 6PX (200 Lumen power), I decided to give that to her along with the leather holster and take the opportunity to shop for a new light. For some time I have had my eyes on one of the Surefire models with a detachable head, in particular an A2 or an E2. After some research, I saw that the L4 was recently upgraded to a 170 Lumen head and I had a chance to get one for a reasonable price NIB. A few days ago my new lamp showed up at the doorstep, just in time for a field trip. Luckily, it fit very well in my old mini-maglite leather belt holster. The fit and finish of the L4 light is excellent. I partucularly appreciate the knurling on the body as well as the belt clip to which you can atttach a lanyard. My old light lacked these details. Tthe intensity of the light is very nearly the same as that of the 6PX. After using it in the field for several days, I am very satisfied with the purchase. Surefire lights are not cheap but they certainly are well made.
