TakLite TA-50 V2 LED Flashlight

The TA-50 V2 is the successor to our world-renowned TA-50 V1. Do not let the appearance of this flashlight fool you. It is absolutely packed with technology that you will not find in the original TA-50.

Diode Improvements

For starters, we chose a diode with a much better color temperature (neutral white 5000K) which essentially translates to more usable light and a more productive form of illumination. This also means that the battery life on the highest setting is significantly longer. Previously, the TA-50 V1 could run on Turbo for approximately 90 minutes. The TA-50 V2 can run on Turbo for nearly five hours. 

Waterproofing

A common point of failure in the original TA-50 design was the external charging port. Because this had to be easily accessible while also maintaining some level of water resistance, a rubber plug was used to bridge the gap. We have done away with this assembly completely and utilized advancements in the lithium-ion cell architecture to put the charging mechanism on the top of the battery directly. This allows the structure of the TA-50 V2 to be much more effective at keeping water and debris out.

Programmable Tailswitch

The TA-50 was an extremely simple flashlight. It featured one button with five modes which could only be accessed in a single forward sequence. The TA-50 V2 uses a much more sophisticated logic board which allows you to set and forget your preferred mode of operation. To make things even better, the TA-50 V2 can be used either as a conventional flashlight (using a traditional on/off mechanism) or a momentary flashlight which only engages when the tailswitch is actively pressed. Folks in the tactical world will appreciate the efforts we have made to add this feature to the flashlight.

SUMMARY

All in all, the TA-50 V2 is best thought of as a modernized version of the original flashlight. The diode is more efficient. The driver is more efficient. The logic board allows the user to customize the flashlight exactly how they want. 

EXTRA BENEFITS:

• Tempered Aeronautical Aluminum Design - You wont find any plastic used in our flashlights. The entire flashlight is constructed from the same tempered aluminum used in the aerospace industry. It is light, has a high tensile strength, and is also remarkably resistant to corrosion. 

• Neutral White Color Temperature - The TA-50 V2 is the only flashlight we offer that comes standard with a diode specifically optimized for a more usable color temperature. Competing flashlights often have a bluish hue to their output which can be counterproductive for producing color-accurate illumination. The refined beam pattern along with the warmer color temperature means the usable light you get from the TA-50 V2 will allow you to see more colors with less aberrations.

• Dual Purpose Tailswitch - The TA-50 V2 features a total of 14 operating modes. Our proprietary tailswitch design allows users to select from two primary modes (operating modes) and then 7 secondary modes (output modes) under each of the primary modes. Refer to the user manual to understand how to switch between the two modes and the various sub-modes.
