Surefire Aviator?

[Jedi Knife]

Have any non-dealers out there been able to purchase the Surefire A2 Aviator yet? This looks like an interesting light. For those who haven't seen these, more info can be found at the Surefire website, here: http://www.san.surefire.com/cgi-bin/main.pl?pgm=co_disp&func=displ&carfnbr=304&sesent=0,0

I got the A2 about a month ago. I love it. I do recommand it for EDC. Bladeart has it in stock now.

The 3 nichia leds are very bright and most importantly VERY WHITE!
The 50 lumen main beam is almost perfect---white and bright.Some find it a bit large but I just think its zize is just right. Very beautiful and pratical. The 2-stage swtich works well too.

I bought one from Bladeart too. It's a little too large for jeans pocket carry (for me at least) but you can clip it inside the pocket of a pair of cargo shorts and hardly notice it. Very handy light.

I carry mine everyday in my back pocket. I love it! It's the perfect flashlight for me.

I've been carrying one everyday for six months - In my opinion it's the best "EDC" flashlight SureFire have yet released.
I'm currently using red LEDs although I may switch back to white or try green out again for a while...

How does the Aviator's LED output compare to that of the KL3?

No comparison at all.
The LEDs in the A2 are for low-output task lighting only.
For anything more you need to use the built-in xenon.
