In reality, it’s more like twist on for low, another twist for medium, then a couple of twists for high.
Textbook activation is twist on at low, twist again for medium then again for high. YMMV.Īctivation can be squirrely (for lack of a better term). Level of twist required for activation is easy enough that my large hands can work the light one handed, but some complain that the effort is too much for one hand. I am a frequent writer and visitor on a popular flashlight forum, and much was made about this O-Ring problem early on, and there were a couple of mentions of moisture inside the lens – my light never had that problem. Although my first one did have this problem, once I noted it I never really thought about it again. Early versions seemed to suffer from having a pinched O-Ring at the lens. You can also use a regular old alkaline cell. I was already a fan of these cells for other lights and applications. I use a Nitecore Intellicharger and usually charge the battery(ies) at 1.2V. This battery requires a charger that tops out at around 1.5V.

Battery life ratings with the included Eneloop Pro battery are 7 hours on low (15 lumen), 2 hours on medium (75 lumen) and 1 hour on high (300 lumen).Īs for the battery, it’s already been noted that the light comes with a Panasonic Eneloop Pro. Bear in mind that on high this little light gets warm quickly and will drain your battery in less than an hour of constant use. On the lowest setting it makes a useful close up light for reading and such – I use medium for most tasks (like walking my dog) – high is a useful blast that will light objects 50 feet or so away. Surefire uses a faceted reflector that results in their “MaxVision Beam.”Īlthough this sounds like a nice marketing description, the fact is that the beam is VERY nice for my purposes as it projects a very smooth beam with a very slight hotspot that transitions to a smooth, wide beam. Expect to exert some effort removing the tail cap – it has a snug grip that is doubtful to accidently release. I find the light a bit long and heavy for key ring carry, but for those who prefer this type of carry it’s a nice set up. On that tail is a lanyard hole that is covered by the removable “quick detach” tail cap that includes a stainless split ring. I mentioned the clip – it’s strong but removable by simply twisting off the tail. In this short period the light has suffered few scratches or marks of any kind – in fact, I’ve dropped it on concrete twice and really have to search to find any marks from those drops.
#Aaa clicky flashlight plus
I have the Titan A on my key ring, so this Titan plus is carried either clipped to the inside of my pocket or dropped into the bottom of my pocket with a jumble of keys, the other Titan and pocket change. Surefire was kind enough to send a sample for my evaluation although I had already purchased one a while back that I’ve been carrying one every day for about the last 6 weeks. The light is constructed of nickel-plated brass. The Titan A is a nice little light in its own right – 15 and 75 lumen, AAA, lightweight, and under $60.īut this review is about the Titan Plus, which while not perfect, is a near perfect EDC in the eyes of this reviewer. This light is a follow up to the Titan A that started shipping earlier this year. That light exists in the form of the Surefire Titan Plus.
And it had the Surefire no hassle warranty? It had a secure, detachable pocket clip? It fit on your key ring with a simple, secure but detachable split ring holder? It had 3 levels – 15-70-300 – activated by a simple twist/twist/twist interface? It included a quality rechargeable AAA battery? It weighed less than 2 ounces WITH the included battery? It was about the same size as your pinky finger?
How would you feel about having 300 lumen in your pocket? (I measure 265 in my integrating sphere – not enough to quibble about.) No big deal, right?
