Powerfully Compact Tactical Flashlights

This Flashlight Offers a Beam Distance Of Over a Kilometer

— March 30, 2023 — Tech
Galaxyman has introduced a brand new long throw tactical flashlight that is designed to cater to users looking for the holy grail of flashlight functionality, namely a combination of generous beam distance, high-intensity light, compact form factor and a reasonable price.

The 'GM212X' tactical flashlight certainly delivers on all of these fronts. For one, this flashlight uses a singular OMNI laser light engine and offers five modes that range from high-output to medium, low, strobe and SOS pattern. It is exceptionally lightweight and easy to carry around, particularly when you consider that this is a flashlight that happens to be powerful enough to produce 270 lumens of brightness and illuminate a beam that's well over a kilometer long.

This tactical flashlight is currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, where it can obtained for a pledge starting at around $135.
