SureFire Aviator
The SureFire Aviator is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 250 lumens and 9,500 candela, with White and Red output. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 33 yards and visual impairment out to 4 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on CR123A and is not rechargeable. It weighs 3.1 oz in an aluminum body 4.1 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands among the dimmest 10 percent for output (250 lumens), in the least intense quarter for beam intensity (9,500 candela), in the lightest quarter for weight (3.1 oz), and in the most expensive quarter for price ($279). It is one of 24 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same under 500 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is SureFire Titan Plus, the same brand's light in the same under 500 lumen class, priced at $129.
