With the Saint Minimus headlamp (the streamlined cousin of the Saint), Surefire has expanded beyond its range of handheld flashlights. The Saint Minimus packs big-time performance and comfort into a small but durable package.
The Saint Minimus sheds the full-size battery pack of the Saint. The Minimus uses a single 123A battery to power the LED light, and with the battery inside weighs just 3.3 ounces. The light-output dial on the side can be easily adjusted even while wearing gloves, and lets the user increase power up to 100 lumens, for a 42-meter beam distance. Battery life is approximately 1.5 hours at maximum power, or around 50 hours at the minimum 1-lumen setting.
The hard-anodized aluminum case is extremely durable, and the Saint Minimus can handle immersion in up to a meter of water for half an hour. The mesh headband and “Breathe-O-Prene” pad offer comfort when worn directly on the skin, or the light can be fitted over a helmet for activities like mountaineering or caving.
The Surefire Saint Minimus LED Headlamp is available from Amazon for $135.
