Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main focus of SureFire's new Turbo Series lights?

The SureFire Turbo Series is primarily focused on delivering high candela output, which translates to a longer and more focused beam throw. This design caters to users who require illumination for extended distances, such as in tactical or long-range shooting applications, while still maintaining effective brightness.

How does the SureFire X300 Turbo maintain holster compatibility?

The SureFire X300 Turbo was designed with the exact same external dimensions as its predecessors. This crucial design choice ensures that existing holsters manufactured for previous X300 models will fit the new Turbo variant without modification, simplifying the transition for users.

What is the difference between lumens and candela in flashlight terminology?

Lumens measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source, indicating overall brightness. Candela, on the other hand, measures luminous intensity in a specific direction, indicating how far the light beam will project or 'throw'. High candela is key for long-distance illumination.

What are the battery options for the SureFire handheld Turbo lights?

The SureFire handheld Turbo lights are compatible with 18650 batteries or two 123 batteries. While 123 batteries offer good temperature operation ranges, using them may result in a slight sacrifice in maximum output compared to the 18650.
