A new compact tactical light from NexTorch, the rStar is aimed to provide optimal lighting for combat/tactical ready units, and is ideal for law enforcement.
It offers a choice of 4 light sources including a white light with a top output of 80 lumens, a red light and green light, with an IR built in too. By using all these different outputs you have a versatile lighting option for normal and up close activities. Run times are up to 33 or 35 hours (white light 8lm).
The main light has a flexible stem for adjusting the light angle, and is fully compatible with ARC Rails mount system for a secure helmet attachment.
Running off a widely available AA battery (either alkaline or Ni-MH), it’s a common cell very easy to get hold of.A triple switch system gives independent and quick control over the light operation.
Using a mix of quality materials, aluminium alloy and polycarbonate for long term durability, it is also rated to IPX4 weather resistance, and drop tested to 2 metres.
In a lightweight and small body which won’t add any significant weight, at just 50g (1.76oz) without battery, and a size of 133mm x 30mm x 41mm (length x width x height).
4 Light sources White, Red, Green and IR
Two power levels are available for the white light, a high of 80 lumens, and a lower 8 lumen mode. The red light is 1 lumen, and the green 3 lumens, useful for close up distances where you might want to be more discreet with a less powerful beam.
The IR light is 940nm wavelength, and there is an IFF beacon also available.A standard AA battery gives increased flexibility and the light can take normal 1.5 AA cells (alkaline) or rechargeable Ni-MH ones.
It’s also possible to use a clip/velcro attachment for use on either webbing or other items such as bags, increasing the possibility to use the light for other activities.
