Survival at Night: Two Hands are Always Better than One

May 31, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Surefire is the gold standard for lighting. One of the many uses I like for this head-lamp is fishing at night in Newport, RI. When darkness rolls in you can keep working.

From SureFire:

Surefire HS2 Minimus Headlamp
Multiple-Output LED Headlamp – 2011 Model (100/1 Lumens)

HS2-A-BK The Minimus™ headlamp features a high-efficiency LED that provides a brilliant white light, adjustable in output from zero to 100 lumens via the knurled no-slip right-hand output control knob. The proprietary refractive optic produces a wide beam optimized for your natural field of view, and an included red filter gives you the option of low-signature light that also preserves dark-adapted vision. A valuable safety feature: a setting for a long-running SOS beacon. The Minimus runs on a single 123A battery contained within the tilt-control knob, and the battery access cap has a short leash to prevent dropping or loss. The fine-weave headband is strong but comfortable, and features a moisture-wicking Breathe-O-Prene™ forehead pad. Built from tough polymer and hard-anodized aerospace aluminum, the Minimus is lightweight, yet like its siblings the Minimus™ Vision, the Minimus™ Tactical, and the Minimus™ AA, it’s tough enough for the rigors of combat, caving, and mountaineering, and is submersible to 3 feet for up to thirty minutes.

Features

  • Virtually indestructible LED emitter regulated to maximize output and runtime
  • Variable light-output dial controls levels from 0 to 100 lumens
  • Proprietary refractive optic produces a smooth, wide beam optimized for your field of vision
  • Built-in SOS beacon can run for days on end
  • Light housing can be rotated up or down 90 degrees
  • Red filter (included) for low light signature and/or preserving dark-adapted vision
  • High-strength aerospace aluminum body, Mil-Spec hard-anodized for extreme durability
  • Submersible to 3 feet for thirty minutes
  • Headband provides comfort, durability, and a secure fit with or without a helmet
  • Compact integral compartment holds one 123A lithium battery
  • Includes high-energy 123A battery with 10-year shelf life
