Got $499 to Waste? Might as well buy an LED Flashlight

We all strive to make green technology cheaper and more publicly accessible. However, with the discount comes the luxury; Surefire has a $499 LED flashlight.

Now, LED flashlights are great, and if you don’t already have one, I highly suggest picking one up. They last longer, they’re a lot brighter, and they’re a lot greener than the traditional bulb.

This LED flashlight however (called the “Titan) takes flashlights to the extreme. Not only are you getting the brightness and longevity of an LED flashlight, but the Titan can control it’s lumen output. All the way from 0 to 65. Useless? Well.. it is a bit control-freakish.

Other than that you get a all-titanium body, a “near-indestructible” LED, scratch resistant window, and a fancy end to easily connect to keychains or lanyards.

Now, if I had millions of dollars to waste I’d definitely pick this one up, but for almost $500, it’s a bit ridiculous

Ultra compact (pinky-sized), mini flashlight that establishes a whole new class of illumination tools: luxury flashlights. The Titan is the world’s only fully variable-output flashlight, with an operating range from zero to 65 lumens and all points in between. No preset levels; just total, seamless control—over 1,000 possible output levels. The Titan features an all-titanium body with an elegant satin finish, a no-look control bezel for precision operation, a virtually indestructible LED, a scratch-resistant sapphire window, an Acme-threaded tailcap, and a quick-connect/disconnect interface that easily attaches to its included lanyard or key ring. -Surefire
