The torch fits the helmet, has a sturdy mount, and stays in place very well. The light output and battery life are perfectly fine. I definitely recommend it as a piece of equipment.
Princeton Tec Charge X Helmet Torch - Tan
Tactical torch in Tan colour designed for installation on helmets, mounting rails and equipment elements compatible with the MPLS system. The model features five LEDs: a white one with an output of 100 lumens and four generating red, green, blue and infrared (IR) light. The flexible arm allows precise positioning of the beam direction, while compatibility with CR123, AA batteries and AA rechargeable batteries increases versatility.
Durable polymer, IPX8 waterproof rating
The casing is made from robust polymer and the IPX8 waterproof rating protects the equipment if submerged to a depth of up to 2 metres for 30 minutes. The flexible arm enables rapid adjustment of the beam angle without needing to move your head. The design is compatible with the MPLS mounting system, allowing installation on various types of platforms.
White, RGB and IR light
The model is fitted with one Maxbright LED emitting 100-lumen white light and four Ultrabright LEDs providing red, green, blue and infrared (IR) light. The white LED effectively illuminates up to 35 metres and allows for smooth brightness adjustment, while the IR diodes work with night vision devices. The lens ensures uniform lighting of surroundings and selected points.
Powered by three types of cells
The torch can be powered by a single CR123 battery, an AA battery or an AA rechargeable battery, making it easy to choose your preferred power source. Maximum runtime is up to 50 hours, and batteries can be replaced quickly without tools.
