This is not a general-purpose illumination tool. The EDC2-DFT is a purpose-engineered \u003cstrong\u003elong-range handheld spotlight\u003c\/strong\u003e built around SureFire's proprietary Turbo reflector system, which produces the farthest-reaching beam of any compact SureFire EDC handheld light — a staggering \u003cstrong\u003e2,073-foot beam distance\u003c\/strong\u003e that turns a distant treeline, fence perimeter, or nocturnal wildlife corridor into a fully resolved field of view. For the serious \u003cstrong\u003eestate observer\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003eDual Fuel architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes SureFire's professional-grade instruments the choice of military and law enforcement operators worldwide. Run it on the included \u003cstrong\u003eSF18650B rechargeable lithium-ion battery\u003c\/strong\u003e for peak performance, or drop in two standard \u003cstrong\u003eCR123A lithium cells\u003c\/strong\u003e when you're deep in the field and recharging isn't practical. Available in \u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTan\u003c\/strong\u003e — both finished to the same Mil-Spec hard anodized standard, both built to the same lifetime of
