The BlueFire Long Shot CREE XM-L2 flashlight has got some of the best design features in the flashlight market today in regards to having a modular design along with the dual switch system. The BlueFire Long Shot can function with either (1) or (2) 18650 Li-Ion batteries. If you want a more compact, lightweight flashlight; you can configure the flashlight to use only 1 battery. When you want to have a light you can really get a good grip on and require the higher output voltage of two batteries; you can configure the flashlight to run on (2) 18650 batteries.
The flashlight does have a smooth reflector so it can “throw” light further than a textured reflector. At night, it’s like having a light sword, as the light beam cuts through the night sky. During testing of the flashlight outdoors, the low setting works great for short distance work and won’t drown your surroundings with light. The medium settings works great when you need to light up a larger area, great for walking around the campsite. Now the high settings, I’d only use this when you want to reach out and light objectives at a distance or cover a large area of darkness with light. I was able to light up a tree that was 50 yards away with no problems.
A feature that I really like about this flashlight, which in my opinion should be incorporated into more flashlights, is the dual switch design. The button switch closer to the bezel of the flashlight controls the mode and the switch in the tail turns the flashlight on and off. Whoever designed this flashlight is a genius!
The flashlight is rated to be waterproof to IPX7 specifications; the flashlight can withstand submersion in 1m (39.8 inches / 3.28 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes.

The BlueFire® Long Shot Search Light produces 1200 Lumens of light and can illuminate things 1800 Feet/550meters away. The light is excellent for hunting, hiking, or as an essential tool for emergency workers.

The BlueFire® Long Shot flashlight is powered by 2 X 18650 rechargeable batteries. The unit comes with the batteries and a charger. It also comes with a handy plastic storage/carrying case with a foam rubber protective lining.

Additionally, there is a clip on strap that comes with the light and 2 O-ring washers.

The light is made of heavy duty aircraft grade aluminum. It has a very strong sturdy feel to it. The flashlight is slightly longer than most flashlights I have owned. Part of this is the design of the light reflector. In order to get the distance this flashlight provides, it is necessary to have a longer reflector body.

The unit is well made and extremely rugged. It appears that it can withstand a lot of rugged use. The fittings are well machined and the rubber O rings will keep put moisture from the battery case or the light.

The on/off switch is at the rear of the flashlight. Near the front is a mode switch. The flashlight will operate in high/medium or low mode.

The major benefit of this light is its ability to cast a very strong beam for a long distance. So it is ideally designed for those situations where you would need to shine light up to 1800 feet distance.

Well made, bright light with the ability to cast a beam a significant distance.

I was provided a sample for testing/review purposes.

I don't have the means to measure lumens (light output), so I cannot comment on whether this light is 1200 lumens. I can only compare the beam to that of other LED flashlights I own (the lumens of which I also lack the means to measure). This is the only LED flashlight in my collection that can be powered by 2 18650 batteries (it can also be powered by a single 18650), and it is by far the brightest with the longest throw. "Throw" in this context refers to the ability of a flashlight to illuminate defined areas of distant objects. There's nothing but land, trees, and in the distance a barn across the road from my rural home, and when testing flashlight throws I stand on my porch at night and see 1) if the beam can reach the barn and 2) if it can, how brightly it illuminates the side of the barn. Were there writing on the side of barn and I used binoculars in conjunction with this flashlight, this light illuminates the barn brightly enough that I'd be able to read the writing. And as is the case with pretty much every LED flashlight I've used except keychain sized and other extra small ones, the light from this flashlight is blinding.

The Blue Fire Long Shot has two buttons, one on the end of the tail cap and the other on the upper half of the two-section barrel/battery compartment close to the head. The tail cap button turns the flashlight on and off. The button on the side of the barrel enables users to switch between high, medium, and low beams. The flashlight "remembers" which beam mode it was in when switched off and that's the mode it will be in when it is next turned on.
