Both rely on the same body and head but different tail caps. The Tactical Model features a two stage button with the first stop at 5 lumens and the second stop at 200 lumens. The “clickie” model incorporates a shrouded tail cap and in addition to the two settings, you can “click” the desired power setting.

That’s right, you get 200 lumens from a single CR123A for 1.3 hours. At 5 lumens it works for 37 hours.

INFORCE Auto Pistol Light

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

We first showed you the new INFORCE Auto Pistol Light from Emissive Energy Corp during last month’s Maneuver Conference at Ft Benning. It offers 200 lumens of white light in a tight beam for close- to mid-range applications and balanced peripheral light for discernment of the surrounding area. The APL has a run time of approximately 1.5 hours using a single Lithium CR123A battery.

Designed with a straightforward, unique, bilateral and ambidextrous paddle switching system, the INFORCE APL affords left or right hand activation and natural finger movement from the weapon body to the switch to operate its momentary and constant modes.

Manufactured from fiber composite, the APL has a total length of 3 inches, width of 1.2 inches and weighs only 2.83 ounces, including the battery.

Currently it’s only available in Black although the yellow light on the show floor gave it a brownish sheen. Its integrated rail mounting system is compact, convenient, secure and easy to install without tools, utilizing a proprietary clamping system. The product ships with (2) rail mounting bars that accommodate GLOCK and MIL-STD-1913 rails.

Initial delivery is expected to be in late October 2012. US and International patents pending.

Adams Industries Offers TWO Products of the Week

Saturday, September 29th, 2012

Adams Industries has really outdone themselves this week. They’re not offering one, but two products of the week. Both are not only great products that almost everyone can use but they’re also offering a great price.

The first item is a snap-on compass for night vision devices. It fits the PVS-7B/D, 6015, PVS-14 and several other models. The compass allows you to see the compass heading through the device.

The second item is CJ Engineering’s Phoenix JR 123. The Phoenix Jr is a low cost Infrared marker beacon that relies on a single CR 123 battery. It’s easy to use. Turn the battery upside down and it won’t activate. Designed as an individual Combat Identification marker employed to minimize fratricide (the inadvertent destruction of battle field assets by friendly forces), it can also been used as a vehicle ID marker, drop zone indicator and perimeter marker. There isa wire bale on the rear that fits right into your PALS webbing so mounting on your equipment is a snap. The cost is low enough that if you aren’t issued one, you can afford getting it on your own.
