[Aluminum] Great light, concentrated spot beam looks much brighter than it’s claimed lumens, blue is psychedelic and overall size of the light fits nicely into ones hand yet is quite portable and easy to carry. Feels well built and strong, surefire has a good reputation. Also like how the on/off is recessed so won’t press accidentally and you can stand the light up vertically - also has holes for lanyard which is great.

[1x LED] You get what you pay for, and in this case Surefire quality at a Surefire price. But's it's perfect in what it does and how well it is finished.

[1x LED] The new aviator is truly a winner! Very very solid as a surefire should be. Easy to use. The white light is a great flashlight, but the amber light is where it really shines. While any light does affect night vision, the low amber setting does not seem to degrade it much. Makes for easy getting around in the dark. Be it in the house or the woods.

[8.1 x 4 x 1.9"] I work nights, and have a variety of pocketable flashlights, the current photo doesn't show the new Tactician tail cap which is perfect as the beam pattern. Very mild crenellations that won't eat your pockets. I've been using SureFIre rechargeables without a loss in performance. B&H ships fast and has great prices.

[0.435 lb] Best all around surefire light for most uses. Great spot beam with enough flood to light the way but not bounce off everything nearby and blind you. Dial output with press of the button or turn of the rear cap to stay on, lots of lumens lights up a field if need be. Small enough to carry anywhere big enough to use even with glove

[1x LED] Super bright and good flood. Love the size.. Even though it's a little larger than most EDC lights, it fits in my pants pocket easily without taking up a lot of room.

[8.1 x 4 x 1.9"] Aviator might be my favorite surefire product. Well made, perfect size for hand holding and versatility yet still small enough to be portable anywhere. Colored led is 2 output and great spot shape for narrow beam that won’t bounce of anything around it and distract.

[0.435 lb] Hoorray! Just a moment ago I have received my 1-T. Right from the start — it is nearly perfect, but! This “gas pedal” interface has issues — it needs tuning to work reliably:

1. You twist the tail cap too far — and you get a full power preflash when you need low;
2. You twist the tail cap insufficiently — and no matter how hard you press, you get low only.

Of course, this is not a problem when you understand the issue, but I saw people complaining of a preflash. This is not a flaw, this is a feature of the “gas pedal” mechanical construction.

P.S.: With my sample I need to twist the head to a constant low mode position. Then untwist it 180� back to get 100% reliable two stage “gas pedal” functionality. BTW, when on constant low button press gives momentary high.

[0.435 lb] I much prefer the tail button and tail twist controls on this SureFire EDCL2-T flashlight to the controls on of so many other brands of flashlights. I also like using ShureFire A123 batteries instead of rechargeable batteries. This flashlight is worth the price. It's rugged and dependable. It's easy to use. No fussing. It just works.

[0.435 lb] I bought a second copy of this light for my father's birthday. He loves mine and borrows it all the time.
