The powerfully bright light –110 lumens- features a tightly focused central beam with a wide angle surrounding beam. It uses the high energy B90 Ni-Cad battery that is quickly removed and recharged in the vehicle in less than 2 hours. Comes with the CN400 Rapid/Smart Charger Head with computer controlled auto shutoff to protect batteries. Comes with both an T210 AC power module and T001 DC Auto Adapter Cord. Does not create the “memory effect” of partially discharged batteries and indicates charge status. Works in the car or on house AC current.
A flawless beam, with the right spread, always in focus. No dark spots, rings or irregular features for the light beam.
Correct switch location in the tailcap for fast finding in the dark and failproof switch function with “deadman” push-on momentary or twist-on continuous illumination. Lamp and batteries are easily changed in under 10 seconds in the dark. Batteries included with each light.
Rugged aircraft aluminum alloy case and parts for a lifetime of service.
Xenon bulb.

Untitled ReviewIt’s smaller than a 2-C cell light, but puts out more light than a baseball bat sized maglight.
The 8ax is also a good emergency item for finding someone or being found. It can light up a large chunk of mountainside to make you visible to rescuers for many miles.
Care should be exercised not to disturb the wilderness too much by keeping it pointed low while on the move.
