The company that revolutionized the tactical flashlight industry has done a lot to diversify itself over the years, moving into such areas as hearing protection and flash/sound suppressors. So good are some of these options, the company’s brand new trio of fixed- and folding-blade tactical knives almost made our “best of” list.

But in the end, the SureFire team is known for its flashlights, and the new Kroma Milspec might be the last one you’ll ever have to buy.

Designed to suit most military applications, the Kroma Milspec is actually five flashlights in one. There’s a red light for field use, a blue light favored by medical personnel, a yellow-green light for aviators, infrared for illumination while wearing night-vision goggles and a dual-intensity white light. Selecting your preferred color is as easy as turning a dial, eliminating the need for keeping up with a variety of colored filters.

The Kroma Milspec is powered by the same lithium batteries as its other offerings, and has a run time of four hours at low intensity and 1.5 hours at high intensity. Suggested retail price is just over $300, reduced to about $250 with a military discount.

So far, only about 300 have rolled off the assembly line, and most of those are have been sent out into the world for user feedback. Look for it to hit a retailer near you by early summer.
