Over the 4th of July weekend I got to play with my new Surefire /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif U2.
The U2 is an outstanding tool while playing in the dark ! The very bright
and very useful combination beam has great throw and good spill. The
multiple level beam is easy to use and very task friendly. I can easily
identify objects out to 150 feet with the high beam. The low beam is
more that enough to navigate and ID stuff inside a dark building and
doesn't destroy your night vision. With six brightness levels, it is indeed
very task friendly. The size, weight, and balance make it very comfortable
to use. A great tail cap clicky switch and momentary on / off. A Great clip
for carrying without a holster. It also runs very well on the Pila 168s
Li-ion rechargeable battery. I noticed that the lens is slightly convex,
this must help with the smooth transition from the tight hot spot out to
the corona. A very well balanced beam.
A fantastic, well designed, rugged peace of equipment ! ..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif
As a Haz Mat responder I will probably continue to carry my L1 while on
the job. Most of the time I'm inside of a building looking into a confined
space or inspecting hazardous materials and it is small enough to ride well
in my coveralls flashlight pocket with a lanyard attached until needed. I
love my L1, however, the U2 will become my over all general use light
of choice for that walk in the woods, or on the beach after dark and any
other time while playing in the dark. A GREAT LIGHT !!!
This flashlight stuff is definitely intoxicating ....... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy23.gif
