SOG DarkEnergy 550-Lumen Flashlight
DarkEnergy, the SOG line of flashlights, pierces the night. They look different and they behave differently. Our goal was simple. We wanted you to have the brightest flashlights of their size. You will be surprised at the power when you switch on the DarkEnergy lights, with 550 lumens in the palm of your hand. Light up the tree tops to appreciate the penetration and range. We also wanted you to have the best switch in the business, so we developed a full on full off switch that also half-taps to 40 percent output, reading mode, and then tactical strobe. The 6061 T6 aluminum housings are aggressively checkered, more than any other, and are coated in a Class III anodizing for maximum durability. Count on us when light is not enough, but when blindingly bright is.
Four Light Operation Modes
The DE-05 Dark Energy flashlight is equipped with four light operation modes, so you’ll be ready for any night time endeavor. Operate the flashlight on full power with 550 lumens and 100 percent brightness or utilize the low power mode for 40 percent brightness. You can also use the reading mode for just 25 lumens of light or tactical strobe for quick flashes.
