At a Glance

The 6061 T6 aluminum housing uses a Mil-Spec Type III hard anodizing process that’s both tough and hard, and SOG utilizes a proprietary process to make the anodizing more non-slip and anti-reflective. The housing is also aggressively checkered, and it includes a clip made from heat-treated stainless steel. SOG also developed a full-on/full off switch that also half-taps to 40 percent output (to help you save on battery life) and then tactical strobe. The DarkEnergy also offers an IPX-7 rating for water resistance to full immersion (immersion time 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter).

The DarkEnergy flashlight uses a formed aluminum reflector rather than a coated plastic one in order to produce better light transmittance and pattern. The reflector uses a special surface configuration to control the focus. It’s complemented by a shatter-resistant, optical-grade polycarbonate lens with excellent clarity. This flashlight is powered by a single CR-123A lithium battery, and it’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original purchaser.
