Slide Focus® and Pure Beam® Focusing Optic
The XP14R features SLIDE FOCUS™ technology, allowing you to adjust the beam from a wide flood to a focused spot with one hand.

- Sliding the head forward creates a focused BULLS-EYE™ Spot Beam.
- Sliding the head backward creates a broad Ultra View Flood Beam.

- This action locks the focus position, preventing accidental changes.
- To unlock, twist the bezel in the opposite direction.
