Elzetta Alpha A116

Description

Elzetta Alpha A116 is the perfect choice for rifles and semi-automatic shotguns.

When it is desired to locate the light near the muzzle while activating it much further back on the firearm, attach the Elzetta Alpha A116 for the most fail-safe operation possible.  With 12 inches of cable length, this weapon light provides great flexibility in configuring your weapon system.  Simply secure the Light with a Flashlight Mount and attach the pressure pad in an appropriate location (pressure pad may be secured with included zip-ties or any other suitable method).

This compact weapon light works well for home defense and other close quarters battle (CQB) missions.  The Remote Tape Switch provides momentary activation via the pressure pad and fail-safe constant-on operation by rotating the Tailcap fully clockwise.  This unique system maintains functionality of the weapon light even if the cable is completely severed.

When using a high drain IMR RCR123 cell, the Alpha Gen3 A116 unleashes a 10-second burst of 800 lumens before the output is subtly tapered off over a period of approximately 30 seconds, then regulated to a constant 535 lumens. 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.

When using a primary CR123 cell as fuel, the A116 will produce a 10-second burst of 535 lumens, then subtly regulate down to a constant 435 lumens.

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! IT WILL DESTROY THE GEN2 TAILCAPS!

Each Elzetta Modular Flashlight is designed to endure the rigors of weapon-mounting.  Fully-potted electronics and a solid acrylic optical lens provide unsurpassed durability and performance.  The soft-edge beam provides enhanced threat assessment and situational awareness.  (See our blog post on Beam Projection for a visual comparison.)  Paired with any Elzetta Flashlight Mount, Model A116 prepares your weapon to engage threats that lurk in the shadows.  Built right here in America.  Limited lifetime warranty.
