Collector Flashlight & Pen Set Commemorates SureFire’s 30th Anniversary

Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC is releasing a limited-edition flashlight/pen gift set to celebrate 30 years of producing the world’s finest illumination tools and high-end tactical equipment. This collector set features an E1B Backup® flashlight and a SureFire™ Pen—both finished with a special hard anodized black-red-gray camouflage representing SureFire’s colors—and will be limited to a production run of 1,800 units. The flashlight and pen in each set will be engraved with matching serial numbers and housed in an attractive wooden case with a commemorative plate featuring SureFire’s 30th Anniversary logo. A letter of authenticity from founder and president Dr. John Matthews will also be included.

“We wanted to do something special to commemorate this historic milestone,” said Derek McDonald, SureFire’s VP of Marketing. “Offering these two products, in this unique color scheme as limited-edition gift sets, gives our customers the opportunity to own a piece of that history.”

The E1B Backup is a dual-output LED flashlight that generates a 110-lumen tactical beam on high and five lumens of useful light at its lower setting. As its name implies, the light was designed as a “backup” flashlight for uniformed law enforcement professionals, or as a primary light for plainclothes officers. However, its versatility, high-output, small size, and smooth styling have quickly made it one of SureFire’s best-selling flashlights for tactical professionals and civilians alike. Also a key component in SureFire’s Tactical Trinity® system for Law Enforcement.

The included SureFireTM Pen, manufactured by the company’s Edged Weapons Division, is machined from aerospace aluminum and protected by an attractive hard-anodized finish. The ink cartridge deploys or retracts with a simple twist of the pen’s barrel, and, like all SureFire products, it’s built to withstand extreme use. It even features a robust window-breaker on the tailcap for emergencies. The Pen and Backup are both sold separately in a variety of colors, but they are only available in the commemorative camouflage finish as part of the gift set.

Like previous special offerings from SureFire, such as the limited-edition, all-titanium Titan flashlight, these collector gift sets are expected to sell out quickly. The set retails for $590 and will be available for purchase directly from SureFire on a first-come-first-served basis starting in January of 2010. For more information, visit www.surefire.com.
