Strange indeed?
The T1A is one of my favorite lights still.

If this one is not variable I am not sure why they call it a Titan?

Yeah, I found that one odd. Only 2 hours at 15 lumens?
Sounds a bit on the short side indeed, lets wait for the official specs from the mothership.

And of course also eagerly awaiting the Surefire 2015 video to see what more good things are coming, or not ;)

I can't believe it.

Surely thats a misprint, about low runtime, and hopefully about lowest level entirely. And Idk about continuously variable, but maybe it's a positive sign that it's like the originals in that you turn this one counterclockwise for on & to increase level, tighten-for-off. Depending on price I might have to make a no-tailstanding rule exception. I've been begging for an aa Titan for years. Close enough.

Huh. Never thought I'd see a Surefire AAA light. Standing by for details, and more importantly, pricing.

This light is a joke:laughing:. The run times are absolutely horrible. WTH Surefire, did you buy your driver/emitter from a 1990's yard sale or what? 30min at 125lumens and 2 hours on 15 lumens lol. My $30 Thrunite Ti gets 6.3hours at 12 lumens, 1 hour at 162lumens, and also has 2 more modes and memory. I bet they want $200+ for it too. They make tough lights but, are kind of a ripoff/joke at the same time imo:shakehead

Logically, the light should have 60 lumen hours...so if it is 15 lumens, it should run for at least 4 hours...
so its really really inefficient on low ?



I like the look of it, and enjoy surefires build quality, but this looks like a dud due to the short runtimes, and probably the normal SF blue tint
i would love to see a "vision" version though, with 15 and 100 lumens - but then i have had a Aeon for 3 years that has a neutral tint, 15/100 outputs, and silly runtimes on a CR2 (40hrs/90mins) from the much higher energy density of the tiny CR2 cell

I'm wondering if the runtime would be longer with a primary instead of a rechargeable? In either case, I do like the current control Surefire uses. PWM gives me eye and headaches...

I am betting that is a typo with the 2hr run-time. Nice looking light, if it is not retardedly expensive I will most likely get one since I am a surefire fanboi.
