The BLACKHAWK Night-Ops Gladius Light (75200BK) is quite possibly the most innovative handheld tactical illumination tool to arrive on the scene. This is a 6 volt, lithium battery powered, high-output LED, highly water resistant, aluminum bodied, illumination tool designed primarily for handheld use, but robust enough for weapon mounted applications.
From its inception, the Gladius was designed from the ground up to be immersed into the realities of close quarter conflict and should significantly enhance the capabilities of those operating in low light environments.
The Gladius gives you maximum flexibility from very low levels of light (fully adjustable), to it's unique high-output Strobe function, a first in a small handheld/weapons mountable tactical flashlight. The Strobe is specifically designed to give you the reactionary gap you need to prevail against a wide variety of threats. The Strobe is extremely disorienting to those on the receiving end, yet allows the operator to maintain excellent situational awareness.
The more familiar momentary and Constant ON switching are quickly and easily accessed all with one-finger operation. The Gladius flashlight features a lock-out system that is useful for tactical operations. The Light can seamlessly and securely Locked-out to avoid needless battery and potentially compromising light discharges. The Gladius can be reactivated under duress literally with a snap of your finger.
