SureFire’s WristLight (model 2211), is a variable-output LED flashlight that you wear on your wrist. It’s powered by a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery for optimal power-to-weight ratio. Four output levels – low, medium, high, and tactical – allow you to balance power and runtime.
Output Specifications
- High: 200 lumens, 1.25 hours runtime
- Med: 60 lumens, 4 hours runtime
- Low: 15 lumens, 13 hours runtime
- Tactical: 1 hour runtime
The SureFire WristLight is made from hard-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum and weighs just 3.7 ounces with batteries. A built-in LED fuel gauge lets you know when it’s time to recharge the battery, which is done via USB cable.

If you don’t need a wrist-mounted LED light for potential life-and-death situations, you could adapt an LED headlamp with a wrist or forearm strap for about 1/10th the price.

Very clever and well executed, but too rich for my blood. The idea of modding a headlamp appeals to me, though.

Do you know how many bare m12 tools I can buy for that!!!

At that price, who is it marketed towards?

LEOs

LEO’s get some allowance for equipment and uniforms. For THEM, it could be a matter of life and death. I can’t think of much that’s more dangerous than doing a search-and-clear alone in the dark.

I’m not familiar with the term LEOs, but imagine the target market includes SEALS, Black Ops, Special Forces, Border Patrol, SWAT members, fire departments, EMTs and the like. Oh, and that character Jim Caviezel plays on “Person of Interest”; he’d like to have one. I suspect it’s initially priced so high in order to recover their development costs. They may have a policy of selling only to professionals, and to place an order you will have to prove membership in an organization or be an “authorized purchaser” (buying agent).
If they’re less particular about who gets their hands on it, it will end up being used by drug smugglers, human traffickers and in other illegal activities. Like automatic weapons, it will go to the people who have the most resources and can pay any price for their equipment. Second- or third-generation models will be cast in resin or some type of plastic, bringing the price down dramatically for wannabes.

Steve,
L.E.O. is an acronym for Law Enforcement Officer.

The term LEO means Law Enforcement Officer. Overall your target market is likely correct.
I don’t see any mention of ITAR restrictions or any other sales restrictions on it per Surefire’s website, and it is able to be bought right off of Amazon which is certainly not too choosy.
Many Surefire items are expensive overall, but they have a reputation for building very high quality items. In potential life or death situations, many users are ok with justifying the cost for their products.

“If they’re less particular about who gets their hands on it, it will end up being used by drug smugglers, human traffickers and in other illegal activities.”
Does this have some sort of death ray? Is that what the “tactical mode” is?

I have a couple smaller older Surefire lights. I can vouch for their quality – extremely high. I would expect the same throughout their lineup.

I just don’t see a use for it

You wear it while clearing a area.. You know holding your gun in your hand..
Tactile mode would be for disorientation/mild blindness.
