A powerful new breed of headlamp. Designed to be the toughest, most comfortable, most versatile ever made.

* Continuously variable light output—0 to 100 lumens—with a simple twist
* Smooth, powerful, wide-angle beam optimized to match your field of vision
* Get full 100-lumen power for 6 hrs. or up to 144 hrs. of useful lighting from 3 SF123A lithium batteries
* Dual Fuel System operates on one, two, or three 123A lithium batteries, or 2 AA alkaline cells
* Single-Battery Adapter (included); can provide full brightness with a lower profile and less weight

Lighting your way with POWER… A coated refractive optic gathers and shapes the light produced by a high-output LED to form a beam that’s perfectly designed to fit your field of vision. The light assembly can be angled up or down 90 degrees. A unique variable output dial allows for continuous adjustment from 0 to 100 lumens with one hand—even if that hand is gloved, numb, or has lost dexterity due to effects of altitude-induced hypoxia. Plus it offers an SOS beacon mode that can run for days on end. What would you expect of a Saint?

DURABILITY…The Saint’s light housing is cut from the same aerospace-grade mil spec hard-anodized aluminum used in most SureFire tactical lights. Encasing the LED and microprocessor in this battlefield-tested aluminum provides a heat sink to protect the electronics while improving performance. This extraordinary little light is waterproof to one meter for up to 30 minutes…and built for a lifetime of tough use.

UNMATCHED COMFORT… Sure not only designed the Saint headlamp to be tougher than all the rest, they also wanted it to be as comfortable as an old hat. It is that comfortable. But it’s far from “old hat.” SureFire made the headband from a custom micro-fiber material that’s strong, thin, and soft; with low-profile metal buckles and extra-smooth stitching. When the Saint is worn on the head, a unique cable management system keeps the extra wiring neatly secured and out of the way. If necessary, the top strap can be unsnapped in seconds. Saint’s front light and rear battery housings are lined with Breathe-O-Prene® pads to add comfort while also wicking away moisture. The back of the battery pack was even designed with a slight recess to accommodate your occipital protuberance (the bump located at the base of your skull). Enough power cable is provided to expand the headband to fit over a helmet.

MORE VERSATILITY… The dual-fuel capable Saint was engineered to operate with one, two, or three 123A lithium batteries; or two AA alkaline batteries in its battery pack. It’ll run longer and more efficiently with lithium batteries, especially in colder temperatures, but it performs well with AAs too, when lithium batteries aren’t available. Or you can remove the Saint’s battery pack and cables, and even the upper head strap, and use the included Single Battery Adapter to run the Saint on just one 123A lithium battery. You’ll cut weight and encumbrances to an absolute minimum—and still have the Saint’s full 100 lumens, if needed, for 1.5 hours. You can get up to 50 hours of useful light at the lowest setting…or dial it to anything in-between. SureFire calls this lighter, lower-profile configuration, Saint™ Minimus™. If you can do without the longer run-time, this more agile version is hidden within every Saint. Sainthood confers so many options.

PRODUCT FEATURES:

1. High-efficiency LED, in concert with proprietary refractive optic, produces a smooth, powerful beam controlled by a variable light output dial. Select 0 to 100 lumens with just one hand.
2. Hard-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum housing is lightweight and built to survive season after season.
3. Dual-fuel battery pack utilizes either 123A lithium or AA alkaline batteries.
4. Custom-made headband was built for comfort, durability, and a secure fit with or without a helmet. Top strap clicks on and off in seconds.
5. Breathe-O-Prene® pads fit comfortably against the forehead and the occipital protuberance while wicking away moisture. Pads can be removed for washing or replacement
6. Unique cable management system secures excess cable; extending life of Saint and adding to its overall comfort.
