Firefighter Flashlight
The Firefighter Flashlight is a compact, glove-friendly emergency lighting tool built for fire and rescue, USAR, and industrial incident response. A high-efficiency Cree XP-G2 LED delivers two output levels for search or extended standby, while a tight spot beam aids penetration through smoke and steam.
The housing uses flame-retardant engineering polymers and sealed controls to keep the light working in harsh, wet, and dusty conditions. ATEX/IECEx compliant configurations are available on request for use in hazardous atmospheres; specific Ex markings are supplied per order. Helmet-mount accessories enable hands-free use, and the tool runs on common AA cells for field logistics.
This light is engineered around a constant-current driver that stabilizes output and reduces flicker. The optical system pairs a precision TIR element with a hardened polycarbonate window to form an ~8° spot that preserves reach while maintaining usable spill for navigation. Typical chromaticity is 5,500–6,500 K with CRI ≥70 to balance contrast recognition and battery efficiency in smoke-filled interiors.
Controls are centered on an over-molded, high-travel switch that can be operated with structural or wildland gloves. The battery tray is keyed to prevent reverse insertion, with an integrated vent path that relieves cell off-gassing during prolonged high-mode use. The enclosure meets IP54 for dust and splash resistance and is drop-tested to 1 m onto concrete under ANSI FL1. Passive photoluminescent accents help crews locate the light on a rig shelf or apparatus floor after a knock-down.
For helmet use, a low-profile bracket secures the body without blocking visors or interfering with SCBA harness points. When mounted, the beam alignment keeps the hot spot just below eye level for tool work and patient access. The product is an accessory only when helmet-mounted; it is not certified as an NFPA 1971 helmet lighting component. For hazardous locations, an intrinsically safe variant can be configured to ATEX/IECEx requirements; contact us for the applicable Ex ib / gas group / T-code documentation.
Dual output, stabilized: 323 lm / 288 m (high), 140 lm / 184 m (low), measured per ANSI FL1.
Runtime transparency: 6 h 30 min (high) or 13 h (low) at 23 °C with 4× new alkaline AA cells (ANSI FL1 protocol).
Smoke-piercing beam: ~8° spot via TIR optic with CRI ≥70, 5,500–6,500 K CCT.
Rugged build: IP54 dust/splash resistance; 1 m impact rating; FR Nylon 66 / PC V-0 enclosure; polycarbonate lens.
Field-safe battery design: keyed tray; pressure-relief vent path for AA cell off-gassing.
Helmet-mount capable: side or under-brim brackets; hands-free orientation; accessory use (non-NFPA 1971 component).
Chemical resistance: housing tolerates exposure to diesel, hydraulic oil, and Class A/B foam concentrates.
Service clarity: passive photoluminescent accents for easy retrieval; oversized, glove-friendly switch.
Use-case limits: suitable for general illumination and splash; not intended for hose-stream exposure or where NFPA 1971 liquid integrity is required.
Hazardous areas: ATEX/IECEx compliant configurations available; Ex marking and T-code provided per order.
Interior attack & overhaul: search lines, ceiling pulls, utility shutoffs, tool work under smoke and steam.
USAR & EMS: void-space inspection, patient access lighting, triage marking.
Industrial incidents: refinery/terminal checks, pump-room navigation, spill response (with compliant configuration).
Wildland & WUI: hotspot checks, equipment servicing, traffic control during night operations.
Vehicle & helmet use: hands-free illumination with accessory mounts for command, RIT, and ladder teams.

Pre-Use Inspection:
Check the fireman flashlight for cracks or damage and ensure the batteries are installed correctly.Operational Efficiency:
Switch to low mode during downtime to conserve battery life and reduce heat buildup in the firefighter flashlight.Cleaning and Storage:
After use, clean the firefighting light to remove dirt or debris, and store the fire service flashlights in a dry, ventilated area.
