The 'Candela Apex' EDC Flashlight | SureFire Dual Fuel Turbo High-Candela Observation Instrument

The Experience

SureFire EDC2-DFT high-candela EDC flashlight — 100,000 candela of precision-focused beam intensity in a instrument compact enough to disappear into a shirt pocket. This is not a general-purpose illumination tool. The EDC2-DFT is a purpose-engineered long-range handheld spotlight built around SureFire's proprietary Turbo reflector system, which produces the farthest-reaching beam of any compact SureFire EDC handheld light — a staggering 2,073-foot beam distance that turns a distant treeline, fence perimeter, or nocturnal wildlife corridor into a fully resolved field of view. For the serious estate observer, the EDC2-DFT represents a significant upgrade in low-light operational capability: two output modes — 700 lumens on high for maximum identification range, 25 lumens on low for close-quarters navigation and battery conservation — driven by the same Dual Fuel architecture that makes SureFire's professional-grade instruments the choice of military and law enforcement operators worldwide. Run it on the included SF18650B rechargeable lithium-ion battery for peak performance, or drop in two standard CR123A lithium cells when you're deep in the field and recharging isn't practical. Available in Black and Tan — both finished to the same Mil-Spec hard anodized standard, both built to the same lifetime of demanding field use.

Scientific Engineering

• Turbo Parabolic Reflector System: A precision-engineered smooth parabolic reflector produces a tightly focused, high-candela beam — 100,000 candela with SF18650B, 90,000 candela with CR123A — optimized for maximum throw distance and long-range target identification at up to 2,073 feet.
• Dual-Output Architecture: Two discrete output modes — 700 lumens (high) for extended-range observation and 25 lumens (low) for administrative tasks, navigation, and runtime extension — selectable via the tactical tailcap switch without mode cycling through unwanted settings.
• Dual Fuel Power System: Accepts either a single SF18650B micro-USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery or two CR123A non-rechargeable lithium cells, eliminating power source dependency in remote or extended field deployments.
• Mil-Spec Hard Anodized Aerospace Aluminum Body: Machined from high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum and finished to Type III Mil-Spec hard anodized standard, providing extreme resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and impact across all field conditions.
• Two-Way Carry Clip: A black oxide-finished stainless steel clip allows configurable carry in either bezel-up or bezel-down orientation — a precision ergonomic detail that matters when deploying under field conditions.
• Tactical Tailcap Switch: Knurled tailcap push-button delivers momentary-on with a light press and constant-on with a full click — single-handed, fumble-free activation engineered for immediate deployment.
• IPX7 Environmental Sealing: Full O-ring sealing throughout provides waterproof operation to IPX7 standards — submersible to 3.3 feet — ensuring uncompromised performance in rain, heavy weather, and wet field environments.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• American-Engineered Precision: Designed and manufactured in the USA by SureFire — a Fountain Valley, California company with over four decades of supplying precision illumination instruments to elite military units, federal law enforcement agencies, and serious field professionals.
• The Observer's Advantage: With 100,000 candela of focused beam intensity and a 2,073-foot throw, the EDC2-DFT gives the nocturnal estate observer a meaningful capability advantage — the ability to positively identify wildlife, monitor property boundaries, and resolve distant detail that conventional flashlights simply cannot reach.
