Tactical, Rechargeable, Brilliant: the FlashlightZ Beacon

Since we released the FlashlightZ Beacon we’re proud to say that it has grown rapidly in its popularity! The beacon was created so that high-end Tactical rechargeable could meet inexpensive. At FlashlightZ we have listened to customers, we have heard what they wanted in a flashlight and what they didn't like and that is how we began the FlashlightZ Beacon. The Beacon is meant to be a versatile flashlight perfect for a user who has never picked up a flashlight before as well as a user who may own 20 or more flashlights. So what makes the Beacon so great? Today we're going to take some time and highlight the features of this popular tactical flashlight.

Features of the FlashlightZ Beacon Tactical Flashlight

Equipped with a CREE XM L2 LED, the Beacon delivers a max output of 1000 lumens with a maximum being throw of 800 meters. 1000 lumens is definitely bright enough for any tactical flashlight, but the 800 meters is what really makes this flashlight so impressive. The Beacon is less than 6 inches in length so the fact that it can reach out up to 800 meters is crazy. The beam on the Beacon is very evenly lit. Rather than having a specific hotspot with a spill the Beacon is completely evenly lit. Thanks to the adjustable head you can choose between a floody beam or a more focused beam. Simply pull the head of the tactical flashlight or push it in to pick the beam you require. It's important to note that you should never twist the head of the Beacon as it could damage the flashlight itself. The fact that you can adjust the beam to what you need allows the Beacon to be significantly more versatile than many other tactical flashlights on the market today. It allows you to use a flood beam when working up close or perhaps you need to illuminate a large area. Or you can use that more focused spot to see further away in the distance when you are hunting or searching outside. This adjustable head feature alone makes this flashlight excellent for outdoor enthusiasts, tactical users, casual users, and more.

Multiple Brightness Levels and Tactical Design

You also have three brightness levels to choose from giving the Beacon more versatility. Along with the brightness levels you have an SOS and strobe mode. The strobe mode is considered necessary in almost any tactical flashlight. It is a great feature to have just in case of any emergency where you are being threatened. The quick access to the strobe mode allows you to disorient any attacker as well as draw attention to what is happening. The SOS mode, on the other hand, is not always considered useful in a tactical flashlight, but I would say that it is incredibly important for any outdoor flashlight. It's great that the Beacon has both a strobe and an SOS mode as both modes serve their purposes.

Let's focus on the body of the Beacon flashlight now. The body design is fairly typical of any tactical flashlight. It has a textured surface so the flashlight is easier to grip and will not slip from your hands. It has a crenulated bezel on the head of the flashlight for non-lethal self-defense. It's operated using the tail cap switch and features a tactical ring allowing you to easily operate the flashlight with a single hand. Finally you also have a pocket clip allowing you to clip the flashlight where you would like and carry it on your person. This flashlight is lightweight and compact so carrying the flashlight will definitely be easy. So you can take advantage of that pocket clip or you can put the flashlight in a bag and trust that it will have your back.

Rechargeable Flashlight

The Beacon runs on a single 18650 lithium ion battery. Fortunately a battery is included with this flashlight. The Beacon is also USB rechargeable and you can find the micro USB port under the head of the flashlight. So charging the Beacon is incredibly simple and you receive a USB charging cable, a USB wall adapter, and a USB car adapter with your Beacon tactical flashlight. So you can easily charge the Beacon while working on your computer, driving around doing errands, or just plugged into the wall while you are working around the house or just lazing about. As we begin to minimize things in our life the USB charging function on a flashlight becomes incredibly valuable. As technology advances we try to find the best product that can do as many functions as possible. Where once we might have had a planner, and MP3 player, and more we now rely on our phones to do the functions of several objects we once used. Flashlights, while not quite as robust at its function as a phone, are you following this trend. With a USB rechargeable flashlight you no longer need to worry about purchasing a separate smart battery charger or having backup batteries. That being said I will say it is always a good idea to at least have a few backup batteries just in case of an emergency.

Built to Last

Now let’s discuss the durability of the FlashlightZ Beacon. It is constructed from high-quality anodized aircraft-grade aluminum and is shockproof and scratch resistant. It's also water and dust-resistant up to IP44 standards. This durability is exactly what you would want in a tactical and outdoor flashlight. You definitely want a flashlight that is going to last you, that is going to have your back in an emergency, and that you can rely on time and time again. The Beacon is all that and more. With its durability it can easily withstand the harshness that mother nature often delivers.

Another incredible thing about the FlashlightZ Beacon is the price. It has so many excellent features that you can find in a tactical flashlight and for an incredibly reasonable price. The goal was to deliver an awesome flashlight at an awesome price point and we definitely delivered with the FlashlightZ Beacon. So if you're looking for a new tactical flashlight or an outdoor flashlight or even a flashlight to have around the house or in your car definitely check out the FlashlightZ Beacon.
