'''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.
