DENVER – July 21, 2015 – FENIX LIGHTING US, a leader in precision LED lighting products for hands, heads and handlebars, today announced the launch of the TK16 LED flashlight in the US. This light is the first to feature Fenix’s new Dual Tactical Tail Switch for one-finger operation and instant access to strobe and momentary functions.

“The Fenix TK16 flashlight delivers functionality and performance, authorizing it as a reliable and necessary emergency and tactical tool,” says Beau Shrum, Fenix Lighting president. ”The new Dual Tactical Tail Switch provides professionals in security and public safety, and especially law enforcement the necessary one-hand operation their jobs require. In addition, the general consumer will be attracted to this light because of its size, shape, power and ease of use.”

The anti-roll, slip-resistant body design is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and is IPX-8 waterproof to 2 meters.

Crimson XChange Technology™ Offers Ruger LC9s-Pro Laser or Light Options

Crimson Trace XChange Technology July2015

(Wilsonville, OR) — Crimson Trace, America’s leader in advancing laser sighting systems to standard equipment on concealed-carry and personal defense firearms, launches another industry leading innovation—the new Crimson XChange Technology™. Exclusively for Ruger, and more than 3 years in the making with US Patents issued, CXT delivers an interchangeable laser or light system for the LC9s-Pro. XChange Technology provides a from-the-factory appearance and form-fit, while also permitting the user to easily change from laser to light, quickly, easily and intuitively. All without “losing zero.”

“As the exclusive on-board choice for all Ruger personal protection firearms, we’re very proud to be launching this truly innovative technology with them”, said Kent Thomas, Crimson Trace Director of Marketing. “We’ve spent several years concepting and perfecting this system we feel significantly increases the user experience with laser sighting and illumination systems. Lastly, it reaffirms Crimson Trace as the industry leader for innovation, technology and growing the market for personal protection, and we’re looking forward to sharing even more innovations with the market very soon.”

This Ruger exclusive pistol package is shipped with the base and either CXT Red laser sight or 100 Lumen CXT Light pre-installed onto the LC9s-Pro frame. Via a simple push pin, the XChange Technology permits easily removing the laser sight from the pistol and then installing a light unit instead—or the reverse. Each unit is engaged by Crimson Trace’s Instinctive Activation™, assuring the user has the most preferred, accepted and trusted activation method in the industry. Battery life for the laser is 4 hours of continuous use, and the Light Module can be disengaged with a master on/off switch to conserve battery usage of the powerful LED, which is 2 hours.

These packages are immediately available exclusively through TALO Distributors and shopruger.com.
