Leatherman 831062 Serac 2-LED Flashlight

by Leatherman

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Any stronger and you would blind aliens.The leatherman Serac S2 LED flashlight is all business. Sure it looks pretty innocuous there, hanging from your keychain, but with two settings pumping out 35-Lumens on only one AAA battery, a textured, reflector and glass lens for a completely smooth, article-free light pattern, and aircraft-grade aluminum body with stainless steel bezel, there's nothing little about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect companion for your Leatherman tool, February 5, 2009

Excellent little flashlight. Fits nicely into elastic side "pocket" of the stock Leatherman Wave and Charge sheaths (both leather and nylon versions). Build quality and especially finish is above and beyond any other flashlight in sub-$50 category. About 1/3" longer than Mag Solitaire, it produces so much light that Solitaire's beam becomes completely invisible. As a matter of fact, it is more than 2 times brighter than my previous EDC flashlight, a Surefire Executive Elite E1E (current price of E1E is $79).

Now, a few quick facts for the flashlight nuts.

- Beam has a relatively smooth spill with a well defined hotspot. As a matter of fact, there is a ring shaped shadow around a hotspot.

- Some artifacts , but barely noticeable. That has to be expected in such inexpensive light.

- Hotspot is pretty narrow, nearly 1º, so this light has an amazing throw for its size. With this light, I can easily count stripes on a raccoon's tail from 20 yards!

- Economy mode is flickery, which is expected. However, since the economy mode had to have so much less lumen output than a high power mode, flicker frequency is much lower than I expected. No flicker on high power, which is also expected.

- If you turn in on, off and then on again, it works just like when you turn it on and tap (high power).

- No way to turn it on/off momentarily without full press of a button, so I do not recommend it as a handgun companion light.

After being thoroughly enamored with my Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool, I decided to pick up one of Leatherman's new LED lights for every day carry; after a little research, I settled on the Serac 2 and couldn't be happier with my decision.

The build quality on this light is just impeccable... it feels rock solid and even removing the bezel to replace the battery is smooth as silk. The single button takes a firm press to activate the light, so it won't be accidentally activated in your pocket or bag. Speaking of putting it in your pocket, the size is just right to slip in the fifth pocket on a pair of jeans. (I struggled on whether to pick the S2 over the S3, but given the power for the size, I'm happy with my decision.)

As for the quality of the light source... wow. Even the low mode is sufficient to light a small room or find your way outside. The high mode is extremely bright and clear, and actually does a better job lighting a room than my 3-cell incandescent Maglite!

Overall, this is a fantastic light from Leatherman that I can't recommend highly enough. Just a terrific product from a great company.

A month after I got this flashlight I forgot it in my pants and it wasn't till after I was putting the clothes in the dryer that I found the flash light at the bottom of the washer. To my amazement the light was still working no water had gotten inside the light at all.

I wish it had a better eyelet at the bottom and not the clip-on one so I could put it on my key chain with the rest of my keys and doodads

The amount of light this thing produces is impressive, plenty bright!

went thru the wash again - this time not catching it till it came out of the dryer - still works like a champ!
