Law enforcement work doesn't end when the sun goes down. The flashlight is an essential piece of law enforcement equipment, allowing officers to continue working in any lighting conditions.At CopsPlus, we carry flashlights from some of the world's most trusted manufacturers, including Streamlight, Surefire, Pelican and MAGLite.
Most law enforcement and tactical flashlights now feature LED technology. This increases power efficiency and runtime when compared to traditional bulbs, with the added advantage that the LEDs need to be replaced less frequently. However, non-LED options remain popular, particularly high-output xenon bulbs. Typically, tactical lights can be operated at multiple power settings to provide the right balance of brightness and battery life. Many also feature additional modes for increased versatility, including strobe functions for signalling and dazzling targets, steady and SOS flash patterns, and dimmable settings. Some also come with specialized lighting options for increased versatility. Ultraviolet flashlight modes make it easier to detect blood and other bodily fluids at an investigation scene, while red light helps to preserve night vision.
Standard flashlights vary widely in size and power. At the lower end, lightweight flashlights powered by AAA or similar-sized batteries are extremely portable, and modern lighting technology means that they can still provide bright illumination. At the opposite extreme, large, high-powered flashlights provide extremely bright, long-distance lighting.
This section also includes some more specialized designs. Headlamps provide the illumination of a flashlight in a comfortable, hands-free platform. This allows the wearer to more easily use a firearm or operate equipment. Lanterns provide all-around illumination for better area lighting.
Law enforcement flashlights are typically built for durability from strong materials like high-strength polymer or aluminum. Many feature knurled surface textures or sculpted finger grooves for an improved grip. Some also include additional tactical features, such as glass-breaker bezels.
