Not all law enforcement flashlights are high-output heavyweights. Lightweight, compact flashlights also have important policing applications. They are more portable, and provide quick, convenient illumination particularly for close-up tasks. At CopsPlus, we provide flashlights from some of the world's most trusted law enforcement gear companies, including Inova, Streamlight and Pelican.
Pen and micro lights range from extremely tiny flashlights that can be worn on a keychain up to lightweight models a few inches long that fit into a pocket. Penlights like EMI's Nite-Writer series are particularly useful for nighttime operations as they combine a working pen with a slim flashlight, making it easier to fill out paperwork in the dark. Compact lights may also be combined into a single platform with other equipment, like handcuff keys. Some penlight models are disposable, particularly those intended for emergency medical use. Keychain lights are also common and widely-used thanks to their very small size and unbeatable portability. Some compact flashlights are designed to be worn on the shirt pocket, providing convenient hands-free illumination for manual tasks.
Typically, compact flashlights and pen lights of all sizes use LED bulbs due to their power and efficiency. This allows many to output a high level of illumination despite their modest size. Some also feature more specialized illumination technology. Compact ultraviolet lights are an extremely useful crime scene tool that make it easy to detect blood and other body fluids. Other lights come with multiple light color settings that offer different specialized uses. Red light preserves night vision more effectively than white.
Non-disposable penlights and micro lights are typically built for both durability and light weight. Most are made out of high-strength polymers or polycarbonate resin in order to effectively resist damage.
