LONDONDERRY, NH (August, 2009) Insight Tech-Gear, the world’s leading provider of tactical lasers, illuminators and thermal imaging equipment, announced it has begun shipping its new HX150 tactical handheld flashlight.

The new HX150 is a programmable, multi-function handheld tactical LED flashlight that provides the operator with dynamic flexibility in low light situations. Through the use of the tailcap switch, the HX150 can easily be programmed to deliver light at high power, low power, or anywhere in between. The operator can also utilize the debilitating strobe or life saving S.O.S. mode.

The high output 150 lumen LED, along with its precision focused machined aluminum reflector, provides exceptional brightness with a tightly focused hotspot and generous corona. A digitally managed circuit controls output power and heat to maximize battery life and performance, giving the HX150 a two hour run time on high and up to 300 hours on low. A 20 minute auto off feature prevents premature battery drain and overheating.

Aggressively knurled to resist slipping and crowned with a tactical crenulated bezel, the HX150 body is constructed from rugged aerospace-grade aluminum and hard-coat anodized for durability. The HX150 is waterproof to 5 meters for 5 minutes, or 5x5 waterproof, for added protection.

The HX150 comes with a removable pocket clip (installed), a heavy duty adjustable lanyard and two 123 lithium batteries. The MSRP is $169.99.
