## Overview

The SureFire HS3-A-BK Maximus is a rugged, rechargeable LED headlamp delivering up to 1000 lumens with variable output controlled by a single hand. Featuring a precision reflector and a 90-degree adjustable light assembly, it offers a wide, smooth beam tailored for natural vision.

The integrated lithium-ion battery includes a fuel gauge and supports both AC and 12V vehicle charging, ensuring reliable, long-lasting illumination.

## Description

The SureFire Maximus rechargeable variable-output LED headlamp delivers an amazing 1000 lumens of light--enough to illuminate your entire campsite. If that's too much light, you can dial it down to 1 lumen--or any level in between--for closer work, preserving your dark-adapted vision, or extending the runtime. A large knurled dial permits output control with one hand--even if it's gloved or numbed by cold. One hand can also aim the light right where you want it since the light assembly rotates up and down 90 degrees. The SureFire Maximus utilizes a high-performance LED and a custom reflector to produce a wide, diffused beam optimized for your natural field of vision, but which also provides impressive reach at its max output setting. Power comes from an integral rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can provide years of use; chargers for both wall-type AC outlets and 12-volt DC vehicle accessory outlets are included. A fuel gauge on the headlamp gives battery charge status, and a long-running SOS beacon provides an extra margin of safety if needed. Built from tough, lightweight magnesium, the SureFire Maximus thrives in harsh conditions. It's also comfortable to wear, thanks to its no-chafe fine-weave headband and moisture-wicking Breathe-O-Prene forehead pad.

Review: PROS: -Up to 500 lumens output with intensity dial -Lightweight & comfortable -Light can be angled for best shine -Rechargeable through electric outlet, no batteries required -Long lasting & usable in a multitude of situations CONS: -On the expensive side, but nothing else compares to this product; sure beats having to change batteries and have less lumens
Review: Die Lampe sieht super aus und die Helligkeit und Bedienung sind 1A. Aufgrund des hohen Gewichts, ist sie aber für Läufer oder Biker oder auch z.B. taktisches Schießen nicht geeignet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***E on 18 September 2013*

I've had the Maximus for ten years now and it still works great although the battery doesn't last as long as it used to. But two indicators of quality for me - the headband, which still has good stretch and strength and the little rubber battery plug which is still supple and stays closed. But it really is just a little too heavy for even a tightened single strap which tends to let it wiggle some if you're moving around, and Surefire doesn't offer a top strap even though they made accommodations for it, so I recently bought a headband from Fenix with a top strap and easily made it work. I can wear it a little looser, have no more issues with movement and it's now comfortable enough for long term wear. The light itself is solid. It swivels up and down easily and doesn't move once set. It uses a standard 12 VDC charger with a typical small 12 v plug (not USB). Some have called it proprietary but it's not. I have several 12 VDC chargers with the same plug that work with the light. Changing the intensity is smooth and even from nothing to full power and the large, knurled knob is easy to find. It's my go to anytime I have to work in diminished light. This headlamp is still so good I don't really need it but I'm sorely tempted to get the new one with the upgraded LED and keep this one for backup. I may have a bit of a problem. :: Update: since my review, I contacted surefire and told them the battery seemed weak in my maximus. They said send it to sthem and gave me an RMA. So I did and I just got it back. It’s as bright as ever and the battery lasts a lot longer now. I’m not sure if they did anything else but the LED and lens is very clean and looks new while the brightness knob seems a little stiffer and has an indent at the end that I don’t remember. Whatever they did, it’s like a new light again. Very happy with my purchase.
