Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of Surefire's new Turbo Series weapon lights?

The primary advantage of Surefire's Turbo Series weapon lights is their significantly increased candela output, which translates to a much greater beam reach and a more focused illumination pattern compared to standard lights.

How does candela differ from lumens in weapon lights?

Lumens measure the total brightness of a light, while candela measures the intensity of the light beam in a specific direction. Higher candela means the light beam will travel farther and be more focused, which is crucial for identifying targets at a distance.

Which Surefire models are included in the new Turbo Series?

The Surefire Turbo Series includes rifle-mounted options like the Scout Light Pro Turbo and Mini Scout Turbo, both offering 71,000 candela. For handguns, the X300 Turbo and X400 Turbo models provide 50,000 candela.

When are the Surefire Turbo Series lights expected to be released?

The Surefire Turbo Series lights were targeted for release around March, with initial availability expected to trickle out during the first quarter of the year following their SHOT Show 2022 debut.
