GERBER RECON TACTICAL ARMY & CADET TORCH 4 COLOUR LED

If you think the concept of multi-tasking is overrated, don't tell it to the guys who developed the Recon. Because this long-awaited L.E.D format lets you choose from four different colors of light, depending on your needs of the moment.

The official name for this proprietary technology is D.I.A.L.™, which stands for Diode Illumination Adjustable Lens. Basically, this new design lets you dial in the color that'll serve you best: White for general situations, red for preserving night vision, blue for identifying fluids, and green for map reading.

 Turn the base clockwise for ON and anti-clockwise for OFF you can also create a momentary switch by starting with the torch switched ON. Slowly turn the base anti-clockwise until the light goes off. Do not turn the base any further than is required to extinguish the light. Then press the base. You will find that the light illuminates as long as pressure is applied and extinguishes immediately pressure is removed.

A unique and very usual feature is that you can select the red filter in total darkness by touch. This prevents accidentally showing a white light in tactical conditions. This is achieved because there is a flat face on the edge of the revolving filter ring at the front of the torch. When the filter ring is turned until this flat face matches up to a similar flat surface on the torch body the red filter is engaged. This is easily identified with the finger tip.

Many torches offer a red filter. Few offer instant selection of four different colours by turning the front 'dial' through 90 degrees, so no loose filters to attach or loose .This is the ultimate small hand torch for military use.

Made from Anodized Aircraft Aluminum It weighs just 2.6 ounces. Yet it delivers a military ton of task-specific light, right when you need it. Furthermore, LED's - light emitting diodes can also take a massive amount of punishment. They do not burn out or fail like conventional torch bulbs. LED's are less vulnerable to impact damage if you drop the torch. LED's have a lifespan of 100,000 hours [11 years].

It's all powered by one AA battery—you can anticipate long battery life—which come with the Recon.
