Modlite Systems is proud to announce the availability of all current products through the U.S. General Services Administration catalog beginning today! GSA Advantage provides a streamlined portal for federal agencies to purchase equipment for their needs, and to do so with maximum efficiency in the equipment procurement process.
Availability of Modlite through GSA will pave a path for those currently protecting our nation to have access to superior lighting products that were tested by other members of their community. In addition, it will pave the path for even more research and development of cutting-edge products to be used by professional end-users and members of the general public.
Modlite’s mission is to use modern technology to further the ultimate interest of the protection and preservation of human life. We are proud to be an American company and will continue to develop products that serve the needs of the American people.
Now if they’d make their lights to support common batteries instead of their proprietary designs.
The reason their lights are able to generate those levels of output is *because* of rechargeable cells like 18650’s and 18350’s. CR123A cells just cant handle that kind of draw. Modlite/Cloud/Arisaka/Malkoff/Surefire/Streamlight didn’t put 18650/18350 powered devices in their catalogs for nothing.Mind you, neither one of those cells is “proprietary” or exclusive to any one manufacturer.
I understand the appeal of disposables for the majority of the DOD. It’s easier to can your old batteries and slap a fresh set in, versus rotating cells off the charger and into service. But asking Modlite tor revert to “common batteries” (CR123A’s) is silly. Buy a Surefire Scout.
It isn’t silly at all as it only increases their market share. NOT using common batteries is simply a poor design choice that limits your customer base by restricting their logistic chain.
Mind you it IS proprietary because Modlite advocates for using only a single chemical mix of a certain battery type.
They already do. They sell a Dual Fuel Head, and you can buy single cell, (that’s 1x CR-123 for all the knuckle draggers), light body from Reptilia. If your ok with a larger light/need longer run times, just use the standard 2 cell Modlite bodies.
Logistics is everything, and proprietary components only increases the problem.
