The Nightstick LGL170 delivers professional-grade illumination for tactical rifles and shotguns with 1500 lumens of concentrated white light output. This rechargeable weapon light system eliminates the ongoing cost and reliability concerns of disposable batteries while providing consistent brightness throughout extended operations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic weapon lights that drain batteries quickly, the LGL170 features an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion power system that maintains full brightness for extended periods. The aluminum construction withstands repeated recoil cycles while the ambidextrous controls allow immediate activation from either shooting position. Professional law enforcement and military units specify this model for its proven durability under harsh field conditions.
Key Features
- 1500 lumen CREE LED produces focused beam pattern for target identification at distance
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery eliminates disposable cell replacement costs
- Type III hard anodized aluminum housing resists corrosion and impact damage
- Ambidextrous pressure switch accommodates left and right-handed operators
- Picatinny rail mount fits standard MIL-STD-1913 tactical rails
- IPX7 waterproof rating ensures function in adverse weather conditions
- Remote pressure pad extends 36 inches for flexible positioning options
Field performance testing demonstrates reliable function across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without output degradation. The focused beam pattern illuminates targets effectively at ranges exceeding 200 yards while maintaining peripheral awareness. Competition shooters rely on the instant-on capability for rapid target acquisition during low-light stages, while hunters appreciate the silent activation that won't spook game.
