Viridian HS1 Hand Stop Laser Now Shipping

Friday, January 15th, 2021

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – January 15, 2021 –Viridian Weapon Technologies is pleased to announce that their much-anticipated hand stop laser, the HS1, is now available. The HS1 has a minimal footprint but adds exceptional control and targeting speed to M-Lok equipped rifles.

“We were humbled by the initial demand for the HS1,” said Brian Hedeen, President and CEO at Viridian. “Our first run sold out instantly. The HS1’s intuitive design cuts down time-to-target. But it’s not just the addition of a laser—the hand stop adds an element of control and precision to rifles. And now they’re back in stock.”

Viridian is known for their innovative laser aiming devices and the HS1 is the first of its kind to add a laser into a hand stop. As the shooter’s support hand grips the HS1, the green laser activates. The process is natural and instantaneous and enhances the control surfaces of a rifle’s handguard.

M-Lok mounts make installation effortless. The HS1’s laser adjusts for windage and elevation. MSRP for the Viridian HS1 is $179. The HS1 is currently available through retailers, or on Viridian’s website: viridianweapontech.com.

Features
• M-Lok Mounts
• Grip Activation
• Daytime-visible Green Laser
• Ergonomic Design for Pistols and Rifles
• Single 1/3n battery
• Adjustable for Windage and Elevation

Cloud Defensive Unveils New REIN, a 60,000 Candela and 1,400 Lumen Weapon Light

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

October 6th, 2020: Cloud Defensive, an All-American lighting solutions and accessories manufacturer unveils its newest product – the REIN. The REIN (Rail mounted Environmental IllumiNator) is the most powerful, durable, innovative, and complete weapon light system on the market. It features a field serviceable lens, a field-serviceable tail cap and an electrically isolated dual-switching capability for redundancy. It works with all existing (Scout type) light mounts, and it has the world’s first 3rd generation Light Control System (LCS) including a proprietary remote switch with tail-cap integration, oriented precisely for weapon-mounted use. All REIN units ship with a custom made charger and battery as well.

The REIN is Cloud’s sophomore release into the market, following their OWL (Optimized Weapon Light) from late 2018. Much like with the OWL Cloud wanted to introduce an industry leading product (that was made in-house) and redefined what a weapon light should be. With the following specs the REIN will be hard to beat, and even harder to copy:

• MSRP: $314.99 Standard Kit/ $369.99 Complete Kit

• Lumens: 1,400 REIN/ 1,300 REIN Micro

• Candela: 60,000 REIN/ REIN Micro 55,000

• Runtime: 120 mins REIN/ 35 mins REIN Micro

• Battery (included): 18650 REIN/ 18350 REIN Micro

• Weight (complete): 5.29 oz REIN/ 4.97 oz REIN Micro

• Remote LCS switch: Available for both on product page

• Colors variants: Black (available now)/ FDE (available 11/15)

“After 2 ½ (long) years of research, development, and re-investing into our manufacturing process, we are humbled to bring you this carefully crafted weapon-light. Our goal with this product was not to simply offer another weapon mounted light, but to introduce a product that would question why other options have been the standard for so long. The goal of the REIN project was to take the notion of a traditional weapon light and rework that in such a way that we elevate the performance and eliminate the liabilities found in typical systems. To ensure consistency and quality with this level of innovation, we take pride in producing our products in-house. It would have been easier to pick up a catalog and order one from a “white-label” manufacturer, but that’s not why we decided to start this journey. We truly believe in designing a better product, building it ourselves and servicing our customers with a level of performance that is unheard of. We also pride ourselves on the customer service front, maintaining the highest level of availability to our customers. Cloud is here to help. We’re here for you. And we’re just getting started. – Sean McCauley (CEO/ Cloud Defensive).

Effective immediately, the REIN is live and ready for sale. For more information on Cloud Defensive and our products go to www.CloudDefensive.com

Nightstick Launches LGL-Series Dedicated Long-Gun Lighting Kits

Friday, October 2nd, 2020

New high-performance weapon lights for rifles, carbines, and shotguns with MIL-STD-1913 rails

Wylie, Texas – October 2020 – Nightstick, a global manufacturer of innovative, professional lighting products introduced their new series of dedicated long gun weapon lights with LGL-150, LGL-160, and LGL-170 models. These new high-power long-gun lighting options represent the pinnacle of performance in close combat/defense illumination technology for rifles, carbines, and shotguns with MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rails.

Model LGL-150 features a compact body running on a single CR123 battery producing 450-lumens of crisp downrange lighting for two hours, illuminating objects and threats up to 220 meters (721 feet) away. Weighing in at only 4.2 ounces and made of 6061-T6 aluminum with a black hard-anodized satin finish, the LGL-150 is IP-X7 rated waterproof. Sharing the same rugged construction and waterproof rating, the LGL-160 Full-Size Long Gun Light Kit more than doubles the output to 1,100 lumens and 22,541 candela. With a longer 300-meter beam from two included CR123 batteries, the LGL-160 provides powerful downrange light for two hours. The all-in Nightstick LGL-170 Rechargeable Long Gun Light Kit generates a daylight-like whopping 1,500 lumens and 23,148 candela for an hour and a half and boasts a 304-meter beam distance. The fully equipped LGL-170 model comes with two 18650 li-ion batteries and a USB charger for hot-swapping convenience, with the multi-fuel flexibility to run optionally on two CR123 batteries.

“Our LGL Series is engineered to be as flexible as they are powerful, giving both law enforcement and gun owners alike multiple mounting and activation options up to a segment-leading 1,500 lumens,” says Russell Hoppe, Director of Marketing. “We designed these LGL-Series kits for both tactical and self-defense situations where intuitive activation and reliable performance are paramount.”

Each weapon light kit includes both a standard and 45-degree offset rail mount with thumbscrews, tail cap, and 6-inch remote pressure switches, RPS rail mount, and Nightstick’s own proprietary NS-WM1 wire-management clamp to eliminate snags. To learn more, please visit www.nightstick.com.
