Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of Surefire's Turbo Series lights?

The primary advantage of Surefire's Turbo Series lights is their exceptionally high candela output, which translates to a narrow, far-reaching beam. This design prioritizes light intensity and distance over a wide flood, making them ideal for identifying targets at extended ranges.

How do Lumens and Candela differ in flashlight performance?

Lumens measure the total amount of light emitted by a source (brightness), while Candela measures the light intensity in a specific direction. High candela means a more focused beam that travels farther, whereas high lumens indicate overall brightness, which may or may not be focused.

Surefire's new concealed carry lights are the XR1 (light only) and XR2 (light/laser combo). Both offer 900 lumens, use removable rechargeable battery cartridges, and are designed for Glock 19-sized holsters, making them compact and convenient for everyday carry.

What battery types are compatible with the Surefire Scout Light Turbo and Mini Scout Light Turbo?

The Surefire Scout Light Turbo is compatible with either an 18650 rechargeable battery or two 123A batteries. The Surefire Mini Scout Light Turbo uses a smaller 18350 rechargeable battery or one 123A battery.
