Elzetta Alpha Gen3 Quick-Build Configurator

The Elzetta Alpha Gen3 Quick-Build Configurator will help you get your light built fast. Alpha Gen3 Models produce 435 lumens from a single CR123A battery (with a 10-second burst of 535 lumens) and a full 535 lumens from a single RCR123 rechargeable cell (with a 10-second burst of 800 lumens).

At only 4-inches long, these compact powerhouses are perfect for everyday carry (EDC), pocket carry, weapon mounting and other applications where small size and reliable high output are required.

Burst Mode Explained

When using a high drain IMR RCR123 cell, the Alpha Gen3 A111 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.
When using a primary CR123 cell as fuel, the A111 will produce a 10-second burst of 535 lumens, then subtly regulate down to a constant 435 lumens.

The user will not see an abrupt drop in brightness after the burst mode. 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.
