Description
Elzetta Alpha A315 provides exceptional lighting for rifles, carbines, and semi-automatic shotguns.
With the added style of a Crenellated Bezel Ring, the Elzetta Alpha A315 can be a very aggressive tactical device.
This small weaponlight is ideal for home defense and other close quarters battle (CQB) missions. The Remote Tape Switch with 5-inch fully-shielded cable 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 weaponlight even if the cable is completely severed.
When using a high drain IMR RCR123 cell, the Alpha Gen3 A315 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 A315 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 tape 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!
The Elzetta Model A315 is truly built to endure the rigors of weapon-mounting. Fully-potted electronics and a solid acrylic optical lens ensure superior durability and top performance. The soft-edge beam is tactically superior to most reflector-based flashlights, providing enhanced threat assessment and situational awareness. (See our blog post on Beam Projection for a visual comparison.) Combined with any Elzetta Flashlight Mount, Model A315 prepares your weapon to engage threats lurking in darkness.
