The SureFire M3 CombatLight is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and coated in a military specification Type III hard-anodized finish that is so tough the knurled handle of the M3 can be used to saw through the aluminum of lesser flashlights. Powered by three lithium batteries (10-year shelf life), the M3 CombatLight produces 125 lumens of light for one hour, or 225 lumens for 20 minutes with the included ultra high output lamp (that's 15 times the output of a typical 2 D-cell alkaline flashlight). Like all lights in SureFire's Special Operations Series, the M3 features a shock-isolated bezel/lamp assembly that can withstand the repeated recoil of a large caliber weapon. The M3 also features unique switching originally developed for law enforcement- twist for constant on, or depress the tailcap button for momentary illumination or emergency signaling.
