I own 2 A2, so I will share my experience with you. The A2 is a one of the very few regulated incandescant light around. It is PWM regulated, by applying Pulse-width modulation one the bulb, the A2 will have constant brightness and power thoroughout the batteries runtime, no dimming and no losing of brightness. Next, it has a "soft start" feature, everytime you on the A2 a small current is fed to the bulb initially and then the full current, this will prolong the bulb operation span. The switch is what i loved most about the A2, it is so ingenious, it has 6 stages and 2 brightness level. By just turning the tailcap, you can control the light to 2 brightness level and also set it to the "stage" that most suits you depnding on the situation that you are in. And last but no least, it is Surefire quality, rugged, robust and can really take a beating and with excellent precision. It is so well machined, especially the thread on the tailcap, surefire is not using the usual "V" groove thread which is easy to machine, on the A2. Look carefully on the A2's , it tailcap has a "square" profile, this kind of thread has very small tolerance and so more difficult to make. It is an engineering masterpiece IMO. Holding the A2 in your palm really gives you that SOLID feel.

Oh yes, the A2, being an ingenious light, won't come cheap (S$350-$400). Buy it only if you are really a flashlight geek or if you really thik you absolutely want to have one. :D No doubt it scores 5/5 for my rating, it can be very bright on high and dim on low. And nope, I do not advise you to buy it unless you are very sure you want one. :) (Like why people collect stamps and toys, figurines...etc. you get what I mean?)
 

Totally agree with Zephirum that the Surefire A2 is an excellent flashlight giving you the best of both worlds in that it has a fully regulated incandescent bulb as well as an LED array (which comes in optional colors of green, yellow-green, red or blue) for close work. I regret having sold my two A2-HA-BKs. :(

By the way, they can be bought for around SGD$200-230 excluding shipping from the US if you search around. ;)
 

anyone letting go of any surefire torches?
pm me pls...
:)
 

My bro just got this 3W LED torch from Mustaffa. "Power" brand. It uses 2AA batts and its damn powerful. At least in my opinion cos I've not used those pro ones like Surefire. Sans Surefire, its the most powerful palm sized torch i've seen!
