Press and hold and you get white dimable 5 mm LEDs that offer 1-30 lumens. Double tap and you get a 150 lumen spot.

Princeton Tec Switch-MPLS

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

The Switch-MPLS has been around for awhile now but I still think it makes a great helmet light. It is designed as a unique personal light with a dual-LED head on a flexi-neck platform. In addition to allowing you to point the light where you need it, the Switch-MPLS always turns on in the low mode of these specialty colors; a 2 second press of the large push button activates the bright white or red LED mode for better illumination. Also available are specialty LED colors including Red, IR, Blue, and Green and high output colors, White and Red.

Darley GRF Expo – Inforce

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Inforce has introduced a new reflector for their handheld light models 9VX and 6VX. Offering increased on axis illumination, these new reflectors offer more light on target. If you look at the business end of these new models compared to those with TIR reflectors, you can see a difference in appearance. The new Inforce reflectors are deeper. And when you watch a demonstration you can definitely see a difference in performance.

I watched a demo with older and newer model lights at 200 lumens. Same lights, same lumens, same batteries, different reflectors. That is at 5 feet. At 50 The difference was amazing.

Darley GRF Expo – Phantom Products

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Phantom Products has been around for decades and their covert Phantom light is a standard issue light for Army and Navy aviation. They recently introduced a ResQ Lens to increase the versatility of the Phantom Light. From its very inception the Phantom Light was designed to provide sufficient light for the user’s tasks but to not give away his position through errant light emissions. They do this by creating soft light with LEDs inset behind a shroud as well as a dimming switch.

Unlike other lights, the Phantom Light does not emit light to the sides. In order to offer 360 degree emission, they’ve introduced the ResQ Lens which fits on the end of the light. With this lens in place, it can be seen from any angle for use as an emergency strobe.
