'''S12''' - 1x26650 2-mode light with [[Luminus]] SST-90 LED and maximum output of 800 (Low is 120 lumens). The light memorizes the last mode used. Similar to [[SureFire]] lights, the tail clicky is for momentary On only when the tailcap is loosened a half turn. To keep the light on, the tailcap must be fully tightened. The 26650 is a special size lithium-ion battery. 4Sevens sells the battery and charger separately. At 3900mAh capacity, it has more capacity than a typical 2400mAh 18650 and is driven at up to 5 amps. First available in February 2011. There was also a limited edition copper version with a copper head for better heat sinking and gold plating to prevent tarnishing.

'''S18''' - 6xCR123A 5-mode light with a Luminus SST-90 LED and maximum output of 1200 lumens (Low is 80 lumens). Has the same switch as other Maelstroms and modes are selected by rotating the tail of the light. This light does not accept 17670 or 18650 batteries but can handle 16340's. Each set of 2 batteries in the holder is in parallel, so the operating voltage is 4.5-8.4V. Introduced in August 2011.

'''X10''' - 1x26650 2-mode light with Cree XM-L and output levels of 100 and 640 lumens (the LED flux bin is not provided, but 4Sevens says both T6 and U2 bins are being used and output numbers are a minimum). This light is very similar to the earlier S12, including the lock-out tailcap, mode memory, and thermal regulation. The X10 uses a lower current type of 26650 battery than the one for the S12. So you can use the S12's battery in the X10, but shouldn't use the X10's battery in the S12. Introduced in July 2011.
