FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
|
- Can I remove just the bulb from P60 or P90 lamp assemblies?
No. For this type of lamp assembly, the bulb and reflector are one integral unit.
- How long can I expect my flashlight's incandescent lamp (bulb) to last?
Your lamp should run for approximately 30 hours before it burns out. The lifespan will vary depending on how it is used (i.e., on continuously for long periods vs. repeated brief flashes).
- How do I change the lamp in my flashlight?
For most models:
Remove the flashlight head by rotating it counterclockwise. Remove lamp/reflector assembly and replace it with a recommended assembly.
For the 9AN:
- Remove the flashlight head by rotating it counterclockwise.
- Remove the nylon screw that secures the lamp assembly to the head.
- Replace the inoperative N90 lamp assembly with a new one.
- Secure the lamp assembly to the head with the nylon screw.
- Attach the head to the flashlight body.
For the 10X:
- Remove the flashlight head by rotating it counterclockwise.
- Using a 5/32" hex wrench (included with the 10X), remove the Allen screw in the center of the spring at the base of the head.
- Carefully separate the reflector from the head.
- Replace the inoperative lamp with a new one.
- Replace the reflector in the head and replace the Allen screw.
- Attach the head to the flashlight body.
NOTE: Avoid touching glass lamp envelopes (the "bulb"). Oil from your hand will degrade the surface and affect the performance of your SUREFIRE flashlight.
- Is there a spare bulb compartment in each flashlight?
No. SureFire lights do not have a spare bulb compartment. Watertight SureFire spares carriers can be purchased that hold an extra lamp assembly and up to six extra batteries, depending on the spares carrier model number.
- Are the lithium 123A batteries rechargeable?
No. 123A Lithium batteries are not rechargeable or reusable in any way.
- How long does it take a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery to charge?
A Rapid SmartCharger will fully charge a Ni-Cad battery in two hours or less. Early SureFire model trickle chargers can take up to 12 hours to fully charge a battery.
- How does a lock-out tailcap work?
Rotate the tailcap counterclockwise (that is, unscrew it) until the tailcap button will not activate the light. This prevents accidental activation during storage or transport.
- How do I get the batteries out of my Executive series light?
For the Executive series, batteries are accessed by removing the head of the flashlight, not the tailcap.
- How do I attach the lanyard to the executive series lights?
Connect the lanyard's split ring to the two small curved tines on the pocket clip of the flashlight.
- Does the 60 minute runtime listed in the catalog refer to the lifespan of the lamp assembly?
No. The runtime refers to how long a set of batteries will operate until they are depleted beyond a level of normal usage.
- If my light does not come with a pocket clip can I purchase one to install on my flashlight?
No. A pocket clip is only available on flashlight models engineered with an integral pocket clip slot. However, a lanyard kit is available for most models.
