SUREFIRE WEAPON LIGHT
RECHARGEABLE CONVERSION
345 LUMENS
TWO HOURS RUN TIME
CHARGER INCLUDED
$175 SHIPPED
Hi guys,
I have made a rechargeable conversion of a Surefire 6P flashlight, into a weapon light of 345 lumens.
Of course Surefire have one, but it is 120 lumens for 20 minutes, using two of the 123's batteries ($4) every 20 minutes and costing $380
http://www.surefire.com/M951XM07-wit...umbscrew-Mount
So, I thought I could do better.
You can mount this baby in a 5.56 mm a 50 caliber or a shotgun, it will shrug recoil no matter what caliber you shoot.
How come?
I have machined the interior of the Surefire body, to accept the use of a premium quality Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. This machining operation left a lip of metal that trap the battery and make it immoveable.
No matter how strong is the recoil the battery is trapped inside the body with no place to go. Others lights allow the battery to move forward under recoil and batter the lamp.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/Flashlights%202/surerech.jpg)
The special machined Surefire body is a part of the equation.
The Lamp is a new one by Thru Nite, it is the new Cree R-5 and output and incredible 345 lumens (well more than any Surefire weapon light)
The tail cap has a remote cable switch with pressure pad, so you can place it on the stock of your rifle or shotgun, under your thumb. Yes thumb pressure will activate the light.
Usually this type of light uses 123’s batteries, they go fast under the power of 345 lumens, so we opted for a long run time battery, rechargeable, that will last you close to 2 hours of run time.
Moreover, when you are unsure of how much battery juice is in the battery, just pop it into the charger and you get a full charged battery, ideal if you practice much night shooting with your AR.
You cannot do that with 123’s primary batteries unless you are willing to dump expensive half used batteries.
Li Ion technology will provide extend use if you don’t use the light, an occasional full top charge every 5 months will keep the battery at full capacity.
We have used a crenellated bezel up front, but I also have available a Z-32 Surefire bezel with no crenellated, if the customer so desire.
I provide the light with a Weaver ring, so you only have to attach it to a Weaver or Picattiny mount.
E-mail me if you want to mount it on a sporting rifle and need to know which mount to use and where in the rifle to put it.
It can be mounted on a bow, in tthe handle or the stabilizer with a Weaver base.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/bowlight.jpg)
I provide the charger with a a/c d/c cord, so you can also charge from your car.
Charger good for 110 to 240 volts, I provide plugs for Australian, European or UK if necessary
If you are not interested in the rechargeable system, I provide the light with two 123's batteries.
In that configuration the light is $135 (With curly cord pressure switch and Quick Detach lever mount)
$175 shipped in the USA
$190 shipped International

One member e-mail me with questions about he pressure pad switch, and how good was under heavy rain.
I was willing to try it in a bowl of water, I put a clip on the pressure pad, so the light will stay on, and I submerged it for 15 minutes, while I took the pictures.
Not a drop of water got inside, not any bubbles raised from the seals.
It made me feel good.

For a .22 magnum I can offer (if you buy the light) a barrel clamp, or a scope clamp for little money.

SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
Surefire weapon lights are very good, but they run on RC123’s batteries, which are costly (around $2 each for the Surefire brand).
A two battery Surefire will do 65 lumens for 1 hour on two batteries or 120 lumens for 20 minutes with the P-61 lamp.
A 3 battery weapon light will do 200 lumens on three 123’s batteries for 20 minutes.
That is $18.00 in batteries for one hour to throw a 200 lumens beam, with a lamp’s life of 36 hours.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/Flashlights%202/twolights.jpg)
You can see such a light (a Surefire 9P) on the picture left. On the right side is my offering of the tactical weapon light with a lamp life of 50,000 hours, running on a rechargeable battery with 2 hours run time, and outputting 300 lumens.
The battery life is 2,000 hours (it can be recharged 1,000 times) after that, a new battery will cost $23 shipped.
If you were to use the Surefire 200 lumens light for 2,000 hours you will spend $36,000 in batteries.
Stop wasting money in expensive 123’s and e-mail me for the tactical weapon conversion.
And it’s shorter and lighter too.

A revision on the lamp circuit resulted in a improvement in the run time of the 5 level lamp for the 50 lumens setting. It is now 24 hours!
THE TACTICAL LIGHT, THE DRIVEWAY PATROL AND THE BEARS
Hi guys,
Been working like a madman for a couple of years, little time to visit or do reviews, besides I am making my own tactical light now, rechargeable and with 350 lumens. I have two lamps for the light, a 1 level 350 lumens to use as a weapon light (I supply the pressure pad switch and the mount) and another lamp with five levels.
In a recent revision of the circuit of the 5 level lamp, the lower setting of 50 lumens was increased in run time to 24 hours!
So the lamp runs 350 lumens for 2 hours 20 minutes, 175 lumens for 4 hours 20 minutes and 50 lumens for 24 hours!
It also has a 350 lumens strobe and a 350 lumens SOS. And all this running on a rechargeable battery.
I have a private, secluded place in the Adirondacks where I fly fish for trout, it is a camping proposition, and in an area noted by a great amount of Bear traffic. It must be the berry patches or another feature of the terrain, but the place seems to be a preferred haunt by black bears. And I camp by myself for two or three days or until my fishing arm falls off.
Over the years I have had to chase several bears out of the campsite in the dark hours of the night. For years I have been using the Driveway Patrol as an alarm system, the PIR infrared of the sensor will detect body heat/movement up to 20/30 feet away, and the alarm chime inside the tent will wake me up.
I usually get up and opening the tent door I shine a powerful light (a Borealis 1,150 lumens) and in a gruff voice I tell the intruder to get out.
It works until now, but I am well aware that one day a cross bear or a mother with cubs can give me trouble or try to make a meal out of me.
So the new addition of the tactical light in the 50 lumens mode, permits me to flood the campsite area with light all night long, and still have battery juice for three more nights.
So when the alarm awakes me, just a look out of the screen door, will let me know beforehand what I am dealing with.
I put the alarm sensor on a ¼ “ pole and on top a piece of wood with a hole for the pole and the light secured on top. Actually I have two sets like that, so I also can see what is going on when I look out the side window.
Here is a picture of the set up.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/optics/2004_02180009.jpg)
Of course I have Bear protection with me and I also take all the necessary precautions to keep an odor free camp, to the extend of cooking my meals and storing my food and clothing with scents, 200 yards away from my sleeping quarters.
If somebody is interested in the tactical, rechargeable light or in the weapon light, just send me an e-mail to
jcharles11784(at)yahoo(dot)com
The Driveway Patrol is available all over the net, the last time I bought it was $19.99 from same place in the net.
If you camp where Bears could be an issue, think about my set up, it could save you some aggravation or worst.
Cheers
With my options you can customize the light to your needs.
I have pressure pad cable switches or momentary push button rifle switches, regular anodized or hard anodized finishes, 1 level 350 lumens lamps or 5 level lamps.

PRESENTING THE NEW
LION BOREALIS 1,150-LUMEN FLASHLIGHT
After 6 years of handcrafting the Borealis Rolls Royce, I have stopped making them in favor of the new LION BOREALIS.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/blackbear11784/optics/2004_03280018.jpg)
The new light uses a different and new power source: three newly developed Lithium Ion, fully protected batteries.
The new batteries power the 3 ½ amps of the powerful Borealis bulb, and will produce 47 minutes of runtime.
Three extra batteries (for extra runtime) are available for $69.
The new Lion Borealis is $300 shipped, and includes two chargers and a cigarette lighter (12 volts) cord.
Since it is made with the “host†of the 4C format, it is much lighter than the Borealis Rolls Royce, at 12 ¾†long and 19 oz heavy.
It uses the same bulb and reflector of the famous Borealis Rolls Royce, so beam quality, throw distance and flood spread remain the same.
Extensive tests were done in hot, cold, underwater, and muddy environments, and the new LION (short for Li Ion batteries) is as sturdy and dependable as the old Rolls Royce.
Please e-mail me at jcharles11784(at)yahoo(dot)com for more information. My PayPal is the same as the address above.
Looking forward to being of service.
