Browning Microblast Flashlight

Browning Microblast

The Browning Microblast is a 2.9-inch LED flashlight that goes everywhere you do: a shirt pocket, a pack strap or the brim of your cap. It runs on a single AAA battery and puts out 72 lumens, enough to find a dropped round in the truck, read a map or walk a dark trail back to camp. A twist switch and a steel pocket clip keep it simple, so it stays in your pocket on days you would leave a full-size light at home.

Features

• 72-Lumen Output — Lumens measure total light output, and 72 gives you plenty for close work, reading and walking at night without a bulky light.
• Nichia White LED — The light source is a white LED from Nichia, a Japanese maker known for its LED emitters, set in a textured reflector that smooths the beam.
• Single AAA Battery — One standard AAA alkaline cell powers the light, and you can buy a replacement at almost any gas station or grocery store.
• Up To 2 Hours Runtime — A fresh AAA alkaline gives up to two hours of continuous light.
• Twist On/Off Switch — Turning the tail section between the marked OFF and ON positions works the light, with no clicky button to switch on by accident in a pocket.
• Aluminum Housing — The black aluminum body is light enough to forget about and stands up to knocks better than a plastic shell.
• O-Ring Seals — Rubber O-rings at the body joints help keep dust and moisture away from the battery and LED.
• Pocket And Hat Brim Clip — The metal clip holds the light in a pocket or on a cap brim, so you can wear it as a hands-free light.
• 2.9-Inch Length — The light is shorter than most pocketknives and fits a coin pocket, glovebox or range bag without taking up space.

Build And Power

The Microblast has a black aluminum tube with O-ring seals at the joints and Browning's Buckmark logo on the tail. Power comes from one AAA alkaline cell, so you never have to track down specialty batteries. It is model 3712114 and is manufactured in China.
