Description
The Elzetta Alpha A123 is an amazing personal flashlight.
The Elzetta Alpha A123 is great for urban everyday carry (EDC). It uses our Standard Bezel Ring for a smooth snag-free profile that slips easily in and out of pockets, pouches, and bags. The unique flood lens produces a wide uniform beam pattern for close-up work. The neutral-tint light provides excellent color rendition and a natural view of the illuminated area. ‘Low’ mode reduces output substantially and is perfect for reading and other at-hand tasks. Power is supplied by a single CR123A battery (included).
When using a high drain IMR RCR123 cell, the A123 unleashes a 10-second burst of 800 lumens before the output is subtly tapered down over a period of about 30 seconds, then regulated to a constant 535 lumens in High Mode (Tailcap screwed on fully clockwise). This subtle tapering is designed intentionally, so as to not distract the user with a sudden drop in luminosity during critical operations. The burst mode resets every time the power is cycled off and back on again, so the burst mode can be more easily perceived after the light has been on for at least 20-30 seconds, then cycled off and back on again.
Low Mode (unscrew the Tailcap anywhere from a few degrees to 1/4 turn) offers an ample 50 lumens for most common uses. No multiple clicks or precise movements are required. See our blog post on User Interface for a demonstration of this unique system.
Using a primary CR123 cell as fuel, High Mode will produce a 10-second burst of 535 lumens, then regulate down to a constant 435 lumens. Low Mode will provide a reasonable 33 lumens when using the CR123 type cell.
A high frequency strobe is now fully integrated into the head and can be activated by double-tapping the switch. Simply cycle the light off to disengage the strobe function.
NOTE: There is no “High/Strobe” tailcap for Alpha Gen3! Strobe mode is integrated into the head and is activated with a simple double-click of the switch on ANY tailcap. DO NOT USE ALPHA GEN2 “HIGH/LOW” OR “HIGH/STROBE” WITH ALPHA GEN3! APLPHA GEN3 LIGHTS WILL DESTROY THESE TAILCAPS!
