Beautiful 20+ years old Xenon flashlight, made in 1996 or 1997.
Designed by Don Keller, who also designed the Kel-Lite in 1968.
This is the reason ASP made this light:

The Taclite / Triad has internal beam adjuster, and a smooth reflector.
The beam quality is not as good as Surefire but it is adjustable, and it can throw better than Surefire.
The tailcap switch is similar to Surefire Z58 / Z59, but is is more smooth and easy to switch it on / off.
The reflector is aluminum and the lens is plastic which can be replaced with a glass lens.
It uses 4.8V Bi-Pin bulb, 2X CR123A batteries. A Tad's 7.2V or 3.7V or 4.8V bulbs can be used in this light, but you have to ask him not to cut the pins, since the ASP bulb has a longer pins than Tad's pre-cut bulbs.
By the way, the light comes with two ASP CR123A batteries, they are made in China, one is dead, and one is almost dead when I received them.
Anyone knows if the light is also made is China?
I know the new ASP LED flashlights are made in China or somewhere else but not in the USA.
