Princeton Tec MPLS
Friday, 04 June 2010 02:51

Princeton Tec brings an interesting short distance illumination package with the fairly new MPLS (MODULAR PERSONAL LIGHTING SYSTEM). As the name hints, it is more modular than most lights and as a definite bonus is generally low profile and light weight. Rather than having some fancy rotation system on the mount, someone over there was smart enough to just slap an LED on a gooseneck. This lets the operator easily change the pointed direction freely where many helmet lights are stuck in one position or limited to one axis of rotation. A slight down side to the gooseneck is that the pointed direction can be knocked out of place by slings or bumping into one's environment. Fortunately the light won't be knocked off the mount and it is easy to fix the direction right back in place.

Fenix - Flashlight Grab Bag: PD20, PD30, TK12
Saturday, 12 December 2009 09:16

Maxpedition offered this set for me to check out and although a little skeptical at first, I thought I'd give them a try to see what else is out there besides Surefire. So far I've been pleasantly surprised as they have held up and functioned quite well. Common Fenix light build features include: Aircraft grade aluminum, Type III hard-anodized finish, Waterproof to IPX-8 standard, and Digitally regulated output.

SUREFIRE Z2 LED Holster Kit
Tuesday, 17 March 2009 03:35


I snagged one of these fun packs at shotshow to check out. Included in the kit is the Z2 LED with batteries, 3 additional batteries to go in the holster, a hex bar to adjust the holster, and to top it off, a lanyard setup. If you liked the original Z2, the LED version is a pretty rockn' upgrade going from the original 65 lumens for 1 hour battery time to a crazy 80 lumens for 11 hours. Looking at those numbers just want to make you go DAMN! It was on the original Z2, but the syringe grip adds great gripping options when using with pistols and helps make a mean grip when extracting out of the holster.

FIRST LIGHT USA Tomahawk MC with TRS platform
Tuesday, 11 November 2008 03:32


SPECS:
WEIGHT- 5.6 ounces
DIMENSIONS- 3.35” H x 2.38” L x 1.48” W
MAXIMUM LIGHT OUTPUT- 120 lumens
CONTROL FUNCTIONS- Momentary, Constant-On (3 levels), LED (Red & Blue or Red & Green)
BATTERY RUNTIME: 2 hours (highest setting), 60 hours (lowest setting)

Some may have felt the Liberator was too unconventional, but First Light also brings us the very practical Tomahawk series. The format is similar to the Pentagon MOLLE light, however the Tomahawk is a much more powerful, thus a tactical capable package. The first use intent is to be belt or vest mounted with the metal clip providing solid hands free illumination. Wherever your torso points, the light points. When more precise pointing is needed one can quickly unmount the light and control it with their hand. To expand uses the Tomahawk includes a finger loop that improves grip and is a handy way to get the light briefly out of the way to use full finger control. As a bonus, an additional large finger loop is included good for when wearing gloves or if you are just a beefy dude. Examples of great times to use the loop would be needing to change a magazine, use a pen, type on a keyboard, or grab some dirt-bag trying to run away. The Tomahawk doesn't fully fit in one's fist, but allows a good enough grip while being a heavy duty item to allow it to be a solid attitude adjuster when combined with a punch.
