Maneuver Conference – Phantom Products

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

At the 2012 Maneuver Conference Phantom Products showed us their new Phantom Warrior Tactical Lighting System (TLS).

You can select three different light colors, which are determined by the model number. The first color is always Phantom White, which only emits visible light, no infra red. It starts dim and can be adjusted to full intensity via a thumb controlled rheostat. Both the additional color and IR lights are also adjustable for intensity. For IR, this is a new feature.

Additionally, Phantom Products has added four selectable, flash patterns. The light is waterproof to 200 ft, shock proof and temperature resistant to 190 deg F.

Finally, the light features a mount that is compatible with a variety of load carrying systems. It allows you to adjust the light not only up and down, but also side to side.

Silynx SureFire KM2 Flashlight Head for C4Grip

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

We first introduced the innovative C4Grip from Silynx Communications right before SHOT Show. As you will recall, the C4Grip incorporates a built-in wireless PTT and controls to activate the light, laser aiming devices, and tactical radios. The only thing missing when the C4Grip was released was a production flashlight that was compatible with the device.

Now, Silynx has announced the release of a SureFireÂ® KM2 Flashlight Head + Adaptor for the C4Grip. It attaches a standard KM2 flashlight head directly to the front of the C4Grip and it’s exactly the type of thing that can happen when you remote the power source from the actual device. The KM2 flashlight head can be activated (momentary, constant, and strobe) by the C4Grip. This combination transforms the light and switch into a much lighter, more compact, and ergonomic package.

The KM2 from SureFire is an LED light head normally used as a drop-in upgrade to older lights. It offers both white light and IR output from one dual-LED emitter assembly selectable by a positive lock bezel selector. Additionally, the KM2 utilizes a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens that produces a comparatively tight beam suited for close- to medium-range applications.

OR – eno Twilights

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

We’ve got a few items left from our OR coverage we want to wrap up this week. One of them is Twilights from Eagles Nest Outfitters. No matter where you deploy to, chances are good your tent, hootch, or whatever you call home is as dark as a crack den in the middle of the day due to folks sleeping off the night shift. Twilights consists of a string of 23 LED bulbs powered by 2 x AA batteries. It’s a very simple, effective, lightweight and low volume answer to the problem of lighting your rack so you can find stuff or lay there and read before you fall asleep.
