1,000 Lumens: the SureFire Maximus Headlamp

If you like headlamps, you just might want to check out Fountain Valley, CA’s SureFire’s HS3 Maximus. This damn thing puts a thousand lumens on your forehead, true story.

Here’s what they tell us about it.

1,000 Lumens: the SureFire Maximus Headlamp

SureFire LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is now shipping the newly updated HS3 Maximus headlamp. The SureFire Maximus rechargeable variable-output LED headlamp delivers an amazing 1,000 lumens of light—enough to illuminate your entire campsite. If that's too much light, you can dial it down to 1 lumen—or any level in-between—for closer work, preserving your dark-adapted vision, or extending the runtime. A large knurled dial permits output control with one hand—even if it's gloved or numbed by cold. One hand can also aim the light right where you want it since the light assembly rotates up and down 90 degrees.

• Virtually indestructible LED emitter regulated to maximize output and runtime
