Princeton Tec showed us a Switch Rail mounted to the Team Wendy helmet via Picqtinny rail section. The Switch Rail we unveiled last SHOT show is now shipping.
It offers 10 lumens for up to 24 hours and is waterproof to 1m. Offered in Red/White and IR/Red combos.
It might be an oldie but a goodie but the Apex headlamp just transitioned to a 275 lumen version.
This version relies on 2 x CR123As but there is also a rechargeable version as well as a variant that uses 4 x AAs. There are four area lights in white or red that offer general illumination in high or low power. These are paired with a 275 lumens spot light with high or low. This is regulated light meaning you’ll get the full 275 lumens for a longer period before dropping off and they have incorporated both a heat sink and low battery indicator. Waterproof to 1m. All for under $100.
The new Switch Rail from Princeton Tech originally introduced at the 2013 SHOT Show is close to full scale production. The Switch Rail is Picatinny compatible and waterproof to 1 meter. Designed as a low output light for structure search, navigation, low level illumination, and breaching operation, it is capable of 10 lumens of output for up to 36 hours using 2 2016 coin batteries. Available lamp options include IR/Red and IR/White. The Switch Rail was developed through a collaboration between Austere Provisions Company, Sentinel Designs LLC, and Princeton Tec.

Princeton Tec has just started shipping the Vizz, a new commercial headlamp. A single on the top mounted button gives you red LEDs. 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. It features a low battery indicator and a lock out so it won’t accidentally turn on during transport. Waterproof to 1 meter, it’s current regulated meaning you get a constant light output (160 hours on low, 110 hours on high).
Look for a MPLS version in the future. Until then, get yours from www.PrincetonTec.com
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.
