When Surefire launched their 2211 series way back, they finally made their world class lighting solution available for the wrist. They even made the series even more desirable when they released the Surefire 2211 Luminox Wristlight, a combination of two brands that have built a reputation in the Military and LE communities for quality and dependability. It allows the shooter to to automatically align light to where the handgun is pointing at.

However, the 2211 Luminox Wristlight is expensive. Available at around US$700.00  that some may just think twice before buying. I sure did like the product, but the price made me think that buying a separate tactical torch and watch such as Casio G-Shock would still be cheaper than getting the 2211 Luminox.

But with the release of the Surefire 2211 Signature, the company has made the Wristlight and Watch combination more affordable as it costs US$199.00 or about US$500 cheaper than the 2211 Luminox. 

At first glance, you’ll think of the 2211 Signature the same as the 2211 Luminox, but upon closer look, the 2211 Signature does not show the Luminox brand. This means that this is not a partnership with Luminox and that Surefire either makes the watch on their own or have a no-name company supplying the watch components. This way, the company was able to shave on costs and come up with a more affordable 2211 Wristlight and Watch.

The 2211 Luminox is still available for those who prefer that model and can afford it. But for those who want the 2211 Signature for Christmas, it is now available to order at the Surefire website. Product information from the company below:

The rechargeable SureFire 2211® Signature WristLight provides hands-free tactical illumination for a broad range of low-light scenarios—including use with a handgun—and also features a fully integrated quality timepiece. When strapped to your support-side wrist, the 2211 Signature automatically aligns with a handgun when the weapon is held with a standard two-handed grip, projecting sufficient light for threat identification at close to medium range in low light and darkness. Its broad MaxVision Beam™, created by a precision faceted reflector that shapes the LED’s output into a seamless wall of white light, is generated at three output levels: 300, 60, and 15 lumens. The first two levels are bright enough to overwhelm an aggressor’s dark-adapted vision, providing a tactical advantage, and the lowest output level is perfect for tasks that don’t require so much light, such as loading gear. There’s even an optional 2211 WristLight Conversion Headstrap accessory (sold separately) that allows you to convert the WristLight into a headlamp, for tasks where you need both hands and the light source a bit farther back, such as working on an engine.

The virtually indestructible LED’s output is controlled via either of two ambidextrous switches found on the WristLight’s rugged, hard-anodized aluminum body. The LED is powered by a rechargeable lithium- ion battery that’s easily charged using an included micro-USB cable—there’s even an integral LED fuel gauge that lets you know when the WristLight needs charging. Just like our 2211® Luminox® WristLight, the Signature model features a fully integrated watch. For a go-anywhere tactical light with a fully integrated timepiece—at an attractive price point to boot—you can’t go wrong with a SureFire 2211 Signature WristLight.
