Tactical flashlight with a maximum light output of 1 900 lumens and a beam distance of up to 211 meters provided by the Luminus SST-40 LED chip. Smart electronics enables the lighting in 5 modes – four different brightness levels and a stroboscope. The ARTAX flashlight is a perfect light source for armed or rescue forces as well as for outdoor activities.
The flashlight is powered by 1 rechargeable 18650 battery (accumulator) that is part of the package. You can use two non-rechargeable CR 123A batteries as a backup power source when a charger is not available.
Compact body of the ARTAX flashlight is made of highly durable aerospace duralumin type 6061. The front glass is made of polycarbonate. The flashlight is IP68 certified so you can take it to a dusty basement or a heavy downpour, it also withstands a 2m dive. The distinctive grooved surface, which is typical for ESP flashlights, ensures a secure and firm grip even in the rain or with sweaty hands and prevents the flashlight from falling out of the hand even with a strong blow.
We conceived this light source as a so-called "defensive flashlight", which will serve you in crisis situations as an alternative self-defense device in the manner of a jawara or kubotan. You first temporarily blind the aggressor with a bright light or strobe that can be turned on with a tactical switch on the end cap. If the attack continues or escalates, you can then use a variety of different strikes – either with a solidified fist with the flashlight clenched in your palm or with the end of the flashlight protruding from your hand. The head of the flashlight is topped with punch tips that increase the intensity and effect of the strike.
On the end of the flashlight, you will find a tactical switch that lights the ARTAX in 100% power or strobe mode. A light squeeze allows the light to last only as long as you hold the switch button (tactical mode). Pressing the switch lightly twice (in quick succession) will trigger the strobe in tactical mode. Once the switch is fully depressed, the flashlight will light permanently in the selected mode.
Sophisticated design of the end cap prevents the switch from being pressed unintentionally. The rubber switch button is comfortable to operate even when wearing service gloves.
A side switch on the head of the flashlight is used to select the modes. The modes alternate in the following order:
If you turn the flashlight off for more than 2 seconds, it will light up again in 100% power mode.
