HRT is proud to announce the official release of the Advanced Weapon Light System, or AWLS. Our first, but not last product in the tactical electronics market. The PSF-Mk6 head is capable of being utilized on any system that shares a Surefire dual fuel threading. The system will be held together by a specially built body that connects to your rifle with an ambidextrous MLOK design. The head and tail cap threading are identical allowing multiple methods for attachment to the rifle. The system is currently tested to an IP68 rating. However, HRT is doing testing to exceed that. The tail cap will come with Valhalla Tactical’s Omni-Directional Activator (ODA). The ODA is a new design that reduces negligent discharges associated with rail mounted pressure pads. However, it is extremely ergonomic for a natural activation when needed. The ODA comes with the ability to change tension settings depending on the end user’s mission.
The AWLS will come in two sizes: a compact and full size configuration. The system is designed to be ran with the with one 18650 (Full size) or one 18350 (compact) rechargeable lithium battery. The full size system can also be powered by two CR123a batteries, but will not produce full capabilities in that configuration. HRT is also offering a line of high drain USB rechargeable batteries for the 18350 and 18650 offerings.
The AWLS PSF-Mk6 Head will be capable of producing 90,000 candela and 17,000 lumens depending on battery source. The throw distance ranges out to 550 m (600 yd / 1,800 ft). This easily allows the user to PID threats from afar. A uniform spill for close-range navigations will still allow for close encounters with a 5500k daylight-balanced color temperature for true-to-life color rendition.
The ODA is an injection molded joystick that allows activation in 360 degrees. The sensitivity can be adjusted to preclude negligent discharges, as well as allow for momentary on or a constant click on mode. Using a tailcap vs tapeswitch allows for the light to receive maximum amps and watts to leverage the most out of the head. Tape switches max out at 3V reducing their complete performance for high candela heads. The innovative ODA eliminates the need for expensive and unreliable Remote Pressure Switches. The tail cap is rated for 10-Amp for future upgradability / compatibility. The ODA is removable, and a tail cap is pre-installed option.
All materials are Multi-Axis CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. Once the parts are built, they are Mil-Spec Hardcoat-Anodized for ultimate durability. An internal thermal management system automatically throttles output to prevent over-heating. The AWLS is the best value in the industry: Outperforming all market leaders without the price premium. A USB-rechargeable Li-Ion battery is included and ready to use out of the box. Just remember to charge it first. Finally, all parts are backed by HRT’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and assembled in the USA.

I like everything about this light, except for the mount; it looks very limiting.
Something like the Surefire Pro footprint would allow for more flexibility and aftermarket support.
I found this interesting bit of info on the product page for the light head
‘The head will fit on most Dual Fuel / 18650 style bodies including Surefire, Arisaka and Modlite to name a few. The head is perfect for upgrading your weapon light to get the best performance without purchasing an entire new light.’
This is the third sentence of the article: “PSF-Mk6 head is capable of being utilized on any system that shares a Surefire dual fuel threading.”
I did see that, but it’s nice to have a bit more detail directly from the product page for the head. As this release was mostly about the full system versus retrofitting an existing one.
You can buy just the head from them, so maybe they’ll release a tailcap in the near-future.
I get what you are saying. Yes you understand you could fix the problem of the limited mount by using a SF body and mount but how about HRT starts the debut off with a mount that hinges like the SF. It’s kind of the new minimum standard for OEM mounts.
“Assembled” in the US.. parts made in China? It *looks* Chinese.
Can a LED processor based flashlight really and truly qualify as USA made ?
