| The HellFire is a super-rugged ultra high-output hand-held spotlight. Utilizing a xenon-filled high-intensity discharge (HID) arc lamp, the HellFire produces 3,000 lumens of blinding white light, perfectly focused to reach hundreds of yards into the darkest night. Because there is no filament to break or burn out, HID lamps are brutally tough – so resistant to mechanical shock and vibration that the U.S. military mounts the HellFire on heavy machine guns. An additional benefit: they are very efficient – for an equivalent power input HIDs produce about four times the lumens of incandescent lamps. Despite its original military purpose, the HellFire has applications in border patrol, site security, maritime interdiction, and search and rescue. Vehicle mounting hardware is available. The HellFire is also perfectly suited for outdoor applications such as mountain rescue, boat navigation, landmark identification, wildlife identification or surveying, and outdoor photography. Power can be supplied in two ways: with either one or two military 5590 batteries, or from a 12-volt auto battery. Either power source is connected by the included 10-foot cable, which is equipped with two 5590 sockets and a standard auto accessory (cigarette lighter) plug. The HellFire is controlled either by a pushbutton switch located at the rear of the integral carrying handle, or by a remote cable switch that provides both momentary-on and constant-on capability. CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and Mil-Spec Type III hard-anodized, the HellFire is gasketed and O-ring sealed for reliable functioning in harsh environments and all weather conditions. Comes in a weatherproof, lockable hard-shell case with foam-padded interior. |
