The Beast is the most powerful flashlight SureFire has ever produced for civilian sale. Utilizing a xenon-fill high-intensity discharge (HID) arc lamp, it puts out 2000 lumens of blinding white light — 120 times the light output of a typical two D-cell alkaline flashlight. HID lamps are extremely efficient — for an equivalent power input they provide more than twice the lumens of incandescent lamps. An additional benefit: they have no filament to break or burn out so they should never need replacing.
The Beast is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum with an extremely rugged Military Specification Type III hard-anodized finish. It features a unique rotating switch — push counter-clockwise for momentary-on or twist clockwise for constant-on — and a lock-out tailcap to prevent accidental activation during transportation or storage.
Designed for open-area tactical applications such as border patrol, maritime interdiction, and long-range target identification, The Beast performs under all weather conditions. And it’s brutally tough — so resistant to mechanical shock and vibration that the U.S. military has adapted a version for use on heavy machine guns.
Power is supplied to the Beast by twenty 123 lithium batteries held securely inside four cylindrical chambers machined into the flashlight body. In combination with the highly efficient HID lamp, these energy-dense batteries provide a remarkable runtime of 1½ hours.
Only 85 Beasts are being offered for sale to private citizens. Limited to one per customer and available exclusively through SureFire, each one is serial numbered and comes in its own waterproof, airtight Hardigg Storm Case® along with a letter of authenticity from SureFire founder and CEO John Matthews.
