    At full power, these flashlights shine as bright as a stadium light. They’re the brightest in our offering. Plug your phone or other devices into the built-in USB port to charge on the go—just like you would with a portable charger.
    Style A—Style A have a burst mode that produces an intense beam for up to 30 seconds. They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency requirements.
    Style B—Style B produce an intense beam for as long as you need it. They’re rated IP68 for prolonged submersion, so they’ll keep working if you drop them in water. They’re also dust tight. A digital display shows lumen output, battery level, and estimated runtime. For easy transport, they have a handle and shoulder strap. Attach them to a positioning stand (sold separately) to illuminate an entire area hands-free.

    Light up objects more than a quarter of a mile away. These flashlights are also known as searchlights.
    Style A—Style A are a good choice for day-to-day use around your facility. If you need them right away and can’t wait for a charge, they can run on four AAA disposable batteries. Plug your phone or other device into the USB port to charge it on the go. Rated IP65, these flashlights are sealed against dust and low-pressure washdowns.
    Style B—Style B balances form factor and distance—it covers more than 1/2 a mile, but it's half the weight of flashlights that cover a similar distance. To charge, snap them into the charging base. For charging on the go, you can plug the base into a vehicle outlet with the included adapter. These flashlights are IP04 rated to keep out dripping, splashing, and falling liquids, as well as humidity.
    Style C—Style C can light up objects 3/4 of a mile away—the longest distance in our offering. For hands-free lighting, the top has a stand you can fold out. They’re rated IP08 for prolonged submersion, so water is no problem. Plus, they float.
    Spot—Flashlights with a spot beam cast a beam with a bright center to light up long distances.
    Spot-to-Flood—Flashlights with a spot-to-flood beam let you adjust from a narrow spot beam to a wide flood beam by twisting the head.

    Clip these headlamps right into a mount on your tactical or rescue helmet. You can also clip them onto your gear’s MOLLE strap. These headlamps all have multiple LED color options for different scenarios. Use the red or blue beam in low-light environments to preserve your night vision. The blue beam lets you see more details and color differences than the red beam—you can even read. The green beam shows more contrast than red and blue beams, but it can interfere with your ability to see in dark conditions. Meeting ANSI/Plato F1, these lights have been tested for light output, impact resistance, and run time.
    Style A—Style A are best for lighting up long distances where water is a concern. Our most water-resistant option, they’re rated IP08 to handle prolonged submersion. Their spot beam has a bright center to illuminate faraway objects. When wearing night-vision goggles, switch these headlamps to infrared light to see clear, crisp images in dim light or pitch black. You can also program the order that the beam colors appear with each push of a button based on your preference. Bend the arm to direct light where you need it. To keep them from turning on accidentally, they have a digital lockout option. These headlamps include common helmet mount adapters such as ARC, M-LOK, MICH, Picatinny, and ABR.
    Style B—Style B project light the farthest of these headlamps. Tilt them up to 90° to point light where you need it. To view clear images through night-vision goggles in dim light or pitch black, switch them to infrared light. A digital lockout option keeps the beam from turning on accidentally. IP07-rated for temporary submersion, they’ll keep working if you drop them in water. These headlamps are compatible with NVG mounts and include a strap if you want to wear them without a helmet.
