It is heavier because the head is machined aluminum not plastic made crap.

If you would read about the sunspot lights, before bashing the aluminum heads. Theyre made with heat ABSORBING technology. Read about it, then go edit your post.

Boys, Boys, Boys, The Beacon and The Sunfire, along with The Boss and our Laser Pro are all good lights. It boils down to personal preference. I do however want clear up some things that really bug me. Some lights can not be put in a plastic head because they get to hot. It is much less expensive to use aluminum in the beginning because there is no mold cost. In our case it was $14,000. We have been approached by other light makers to use our head. The other thing is the battery holder. We use nylon because we like it. We could go to a battery box for about 20% of what we pay for the nylon.

Thanks,

I bought a Lazer Torch Pro color with difuser at AO. After a few nights my belt light is officially retired. That was the best money I've spent in a long time, for the first time in a long time I have no "buyers remorse". It's like carrying 2 lights and 3 pop covers without the bulk.

The colored LEDs sold me on it over the others.

I know you are not bashing but there are several different types of plastic. These are a cheap abs plastic. Look it up you will find exactly what I said to be true and what you said about aluminum conducting heat is why it should be used for any electronics pushing 1 amp or more.

Just monday night at a hunt i put my sunfire in a tree next to a new laser torch pro. Pretty close in brightness but the sunfire has a larger beam and a better halo for walking. I have compared lots of the cap lights and these 2 are the brightest.
On the plastic versus aluminum head, Plastic (insulates)keeps the heat inside the head where the electronics are and aluminum transfers the heat to the outside, staying cooler where it needs to be cool.
The laser torch is a bit lighter, the sunfire throws a little more light. TOSSUP.
