About Brightness

Flood Beam

All of these flashlights stand up to wet environments. They have a slip-resistant grip to ensure a secure hold.

IP04 flashlights withstand liquid splashed from all angles.

IP07 flashlights withstand temporary submersion in a maximum of one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

LED flashlights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than krypton flashlights.

Flood beam flashlights are especially good for close-up tasks and inspection work.

Styles A-E were tested and rated to ANSI/NEMA FL 1 standards.

CE marked flashlights meet European health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.

Style C switch between red and white light beams with a twist of their head; the red beam is particularly effective when it’s dark out. They also work with non-rechargeable batteries (not included).

Style D have a detachable power bank with a USB connection for charging small devices, such as phones. When they’re separated, cover the exposed ends of the bank and flashlight with the included caps. These flashlights are dimmable, and they revert to their most recent brightness setting when you turn them on.

Long-Distance Flashlights

Flood Beam

Spot Beam

Light up objects more than a quarter of a mile away. These flashlights are also known as searchlights.

Flashlights with a spot-to-flood beam let you adjust from a narrow spot beam to a wide flood beam by twisting the head. Flashlights with a spot beam cast a beam with a bright center to light up long distances.

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 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 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.

Flashlights

Spot Beam

These flashlights are built to handle everyday use. They have a slip-resistant grip to ensure a secure hold.

LED flashlights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than xenon and krypton flashlights. Flashlights with a spot beam have a bright center for long-distance illumination.

Flashlights that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by local energy efficiency requirements.

Note: Battery life is significantly reduced when flashlights are used at the high-beam light setting.

Ultra-Bright Flashlights

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 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 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.

Headlamps for Rescue and Tactical Helmets

C (with Included Strap)

Flood Beam

Spot Beam

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 are best for close-up tasks and inspection work—they produce a flood beam with an even spread of light. Direct the light where you need it with the bendable arm. You can program the order the beam colors appear with each push of the button based on your preference. Rated IP04, these headlamps are sealed to keep out dripping, splashing, and falling liquids, as well as humidity. They include common helmet mount adapters such as ARC, M-LOK, MICH, Picatinny, and ABR.

Style B 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 C 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.
