Irving, TX- Cyclops, an innovator in personal and field lighting solutions, has just introduced a new handheld spotlight designed to serve as both a conventional, high-intensity spotlight as well as a flood light/lantern for close range illumination.

The new Waterproof LED Spotlight is built on the standard pistol grip/lamp body configuration for balanced ease of operation and fatigue-free deployment. The chassis is comprised of a combination aluminum, PC, rubber, and TPR materials to protect the unit from hard impact and to provide a comfortable, no-slip grip in the most austere conditions. What’s more, the housing construction is waterproof, dustproof (IP67), and floats in water.

The front spotlight is powered by an exceptionally bright 20W XHP50.2 Cree LED that allows the user to switch between high, low, SOS, and off via a magnetic trigger switch with a locking mechanism. In back is a 6W Cree XP-G3 LED that serves as a flood light or a lantern. This light is controlled by an IC chip-monitored battery saver mode that automatically reduces output to extend run time.

The Cyclops Waterproof LED Spotlight is an ideal solution for anyone requiring diverse, high-output illumination in a field setting, and its multi-function lamp system is especially advantageous for hunters and boaters who often require spotlight and lantern operations in a single outing.

Do you own a shotgun for home defense? Using your choice of ammo, have you patterned it at the distances you may have to shoot? It might be 3 yards , 5 yards or even 10 yards. Contrary to popular myth, when you pull the trigger on your shotgun, there is not a magical spread of shot. Choke and type of shot play a part but at the closer distances, the pattern is smaller. Meaning, you need to use your sight and aim. Complicating matters, if you have to use your weapon, it will be in less-than-ideal conditions and under stress. Meprolight®, the industry leader in Day/Night sights, manufactures self-illuminated shotgun sights enabling you to see the sight quicker.

SIGHTRON’s patented ExacTrack windage and elevation system is standard on all models. All reticles in this premium line are illuminated with a side-mounted 11-position on/off rotary-type dial which uses a standard CR2032 Battery.

Green reticles have some advantages of being an ultra-high contrast color in both daytime and low-light use. The brilliant green reticle of the HE507K-GR X2 enables the shooter to obtain a sight picture instantly against almost any backdrop or lighting conditions.
