Redlands, CA – TNVC and its sister company Night Goggles, Inc announced today they will be bringing on the Lightforce product lineup consisting of Infrared Vehicle Lighting Systems, handheld spotlights and will be one of the premiere suppliers in North America for Lightforce.
Lightforce, based in Adelaide South Australia and sister companies to Nightforce Optics, remains one of the most trusted names in off road vehicle lighting for over 38 years.

Designed to perform to our impossibly high standards, and their IP68 and IP69k ingress protection rating means they are built for extreme conditions. Reduced radio interference (RRI) technology allows you to operate critical communications equipment such as Ham Radios, CB and FRS radios static-free. Optional modular filters let you modify the lights beam patterns to meet the conditions your mission requires. Operating at 850nM, they perform well with all types and generations of night vision and remain our most premium IR product offering.

The ROK40 Infrared series offer a more entry level price into the Infrared Driving lineup, and also are more compact to fit on ditch brackets, fog light positions and tighter mounting spaces. They are available in Flood or Spot beam pattern configurations and come as a pair with harness.

So, we called our friends at Impact Weapons Components and got to work. It is our distinct honor to present you with the Cloud Defensive “Torrent series” line of mounts.” – Sean McCauley (CEO/ Cloud Defensive).

Cloud Defensive Unveils New REIN, a 60,000 Candela and 1,400 Lumen Weapon Light
Tuesday, October 6th, 2020October 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

Announcing the XSC Family of Micro-Compact Handgun Weaponlights from SureFire
Tuesday, September 8th, 2020
Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the release of the all-new XSC family of micro-compact handgun weaponlights.
We all know violent crime happens at night, and yet a premium-grade weaponlight for the best concealment guns on the market didn’t exist. Until now. Extremely compact and virtually indestructible, the new rechargeable SureFire XSC family delivers intense white light, allowing you to face the dark with confidence. Its micro-footprint doesn’t hamper concealability, so you’ll have it with you when you need it most.
There are three models in the lineup, each precisely engineered and purpose-built for a seamless & secure fit to each host handgun. The XSC-A is made for the Glock 43X & 48 with accessory rail, the XSC-P365 is for the SIG SAUER P365 & P365 XL and the XSC-HELLCAT is for the Springfield Armory Hellcat line of handguns. Less than 2 inches long and weighing under 2 ounces, the XSC provides an immense force multiplier to each host handgun with no compromise in concealability.
Intuitive, ambidextrous switching provides ease of momentary-or constant-on activation with one or two hands. The XSC’s premium LED delivers 350 lumens of intense white light via a parabolic reflector, creating a concentrated hot-spot with significant throw and surrounding spill. Made from rugged aerospace aluminum, the body is Mil-Spec hard anodized for scratch and corrosion resistance. The XSC is gasket sealed for weatherproof and waterproof reliability, and it is IPX7-rated.
The XSC is rechargeable via a quick-detach lithium polymer battery, and can be changed without removing the XSC from the host pistol. The battery charger is included with purchase, and it is capable of charging two batteries simultaneously. Each battery features a LED fuel gauge that displays charge level with the press of a button. If you’re serious about personal protection, there’s no excuse. The XSC is your only option.
