Headlamps are excellent tools for various low-light scenarios, but they're not ideal in every case. For example, if you're wearing a helmet or other headgear, you may not have room to wear a headlamp. To continue using your hands freely, you'll need an alternative lighting solution.

SureFire has developed a new lightweight polymer tool that serves as an alternative to a headlamp. It's called the SureFire 2211 WristLight, and it's worn on a wrist strap with a forward-facing beam.

The company says its new WristLight can be used for EDC, walking a dog at night, or even while aiming a firearm. When worn on the support-side wrist and using a two-handed grip on a pistol, this light naturally aligns with your target. This allows clear threat identification without requiring a dedicated light on your gun.

The WristLight is also available with a built-in Luminox watch.

The SureFire WristLight incorporates a soft white MaxVision Beam pattern, and offers three output modes: 300, 60, and 15 lumens. The sequence is programmable between low-medium-high, or high-medium-low, and is controlled by a large power button atop the light. The WristLight is also rechargeable via USB, and includes a battery level indicator LED. MSRP for the standard 2211 model is $229.
