With its unique spring-loaded clamp design and integrated magnets, the BearTrap 360 can be attached to any flat, round or irregular surface to shine a bright spot or flood light on work areas both small and large. A wire handle with a rubber sleeve provides an easy grip when opening the light’s clamping mechanism.

“The new functionality of the BearTrap 360 now gives first responders, automotive and industrial technicians, outdoor enthusiasts, and other users the ability to easily spin the body of the light horizontally in addition to moving it vertically, for any angle view,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamight’s Chief Revenue Officer. “This is a very useful feature when performing tasks that require angling a spot light as work progresses on a car engine, or continuously moving a flood light when investigating a fire or accident scene.”

The BearTrap 360 provides six output modes, including three spot and three flood settings. The flood mode covers work areas or other surfaces with soft, bright light, ranging from 2,000 lumens on high with a 2.5-hour run time to 575 lumens on low, with an 8.75-hour run time. The light’s spot mode provides a white concentrated beam to pinpoint specific work areas, ranging from 1,000 lumens on high for 4.5 hours to 325 lumens on low for 12.5 hours. 

The BearTrap 360 uses an easy access, push-button on/off switch with a battery life indicator that turns red when the battery has reached the end of its usable life. The new light uses a 7.26-volt, 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery that can be recharged in 5.5 hours. The BearTrap 360 will also run continuously if plugged into an AC power supply.

Manufactured from tough thermoplastic construction, it also features a gasket-sealed lens that is impervious to most common automotive or industrial chemicals. It has an IPX4-rated design for water-resistant operation and is impact resistance tested to 1 meter.

Weighing 2 lbs., 5 ounces, the light measures 7.62 inches in length, 6.5 inches in width, and is 3.12 inches thick. The new BearTrap 360 has an MSRP ranging from $269.66 to $286.52 and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

A race car goes fast but cannot take your children to school. A flight-certified computer supports a mission to Mars but cannot play Call of Duty. Different jobs require different tools; and tactical lights are no different.

CANDELA VS. LUMEN

Instead of choosing a light based on a single specification, be it candela or lumen, we should first understand the job. Do we need to search rooms and attics, long hallways, or someone sitting in a car with tinted windows? A flood beam provides even illumination across a wide angle and is best for situational awareness. A spot beam concentrates light to project it farther, just as putting a thumb over a garden hose propels water farther.

Since there is no industry standard for describing beam pattern, we consumers are only left with bewildering marketing terms like “MaxVision”, “TLR”, and “Turbo”. Comparing across manufacturers can be even more daunting; but never fear, since a combination of candela and lumen specs describes a lot… if we understand their definitions.

In very broad strokes, lumens are the raw material which the lens shapes into candela. A laser has high candela but low lumen because it is extremely bright at a very narrow angle. A bare lightbulb has low candela but high lumen because it evenly projects light everywhere. Neither is inherently good or bad; a light bulb cannot designate targets while a laser pointer cannot illuminate a room. The job determines which measurement is more important.

With lumen as the undirected output of the LED emitter, candela is the light projected in a specific direction. At a scientific level, candela varies from dead-ahead to the edge of the spill; that shape shows how tight the hotspot is. Unfortunately, marketing material usually oversimplifies that into a single number representing the peak hotspot. While it’s a stretch to call it misleading, this forces us to infer a beam pattern. However, we can still make an objective comparison in its ability to penetrate photonic barriers. Whether we are looking into a shadow caused by a streetlamp or defeating window tint, higher candela is better.

It’s trivial to say higher lumen is better, but reality is more nuanced due to size constraints. Just like how a V12 engine requires a large chassis, a large and high-output emitter requires a large lens to produce a spot beam. To achieve a reasonable size, manufacturers sacrifice lumen with smaller emitters. Even then, accompanying photos show the spot patterned SureFire M340DFT Turbo has a wider diameter and longer lens than its SureFire M340C cousin. The smaller LED of the Turbo is also reflected by the 350 vs. 500 lumens of the M340C when using CR123 batteries.

Now, let’s look at some real-world examples. The table below arranges lights from low candela (left) to high. SureFire’s M600DF has the highest lumen but the lowest candela, indicating a flood pattern. The Cloud Defensive REIN and Modlite PLHv2 have almost the same lumen as M600DF but significantly higher candela, hinting at a trade of spill for throw. The higher candela and lower lumen of the Modlite OKW indicates that a smaller emitter is used to further tighten the beam. Now knowing how to decipher these ratings, we can choose the best tool for the job.

PHOTONS DOWNRANGE

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few thousand words. All photos within each series are taken with the same exposure setting. Inside our garage, the spot-patterned 95000 candela M340DFT hotspot is so bright as to overexpose the wheels. With only 7600-candela, M340C widens the hotspot at the cost of brightness. Despite a raw output three times that of the M340, the 16000 candela M600DF spreads out that light to create an evenly lit scene that promotes situational awareness.

High candela is indispensable for pushing through vehicle window tint or projected light at a distance. Despite being only 150-lumen more, M340DFT could easily allow identification at 25m and into a tinted vehicle cabin. No pattern is inherently better or worse; mission dictates equipment.

BATTERIES

We prefer rechargeables for high performance, backed up by long shelf-life primary cells. As we dive deeper, a lack of standardization bewilders consumers and can potentially lead to unsafe choices.

First, we shall dive into the fuel that powers our lights. Until recently, most lights were powered by primary (non-rechargeable) CR123 cells; their high drain delivers high lumens. These cells have a long shelf life, with SureFire and Streamlight branded batteries advertising a 10-year shelf-life. 18650 and 18630 rechargeable batteries support even higher drain, and high-performance lights have migrated to using these. SureFire exploited this on its M600DF to deliver 1500 lumens with an 18650 while producing only 1000 lumen with CR123s. Another unfortunate lack of standard terminology haunts consumers, as all “dual fuel” SureFire products use both rechargeable and primary cells while such Modlite products use both 18650 and 18350. In fact, Modlite have separate heads for rechargeable (OKW and PHLv2) and primary cells (Legacy LED-T and LED-F). So, while heads can move between different sized bodies, you cannot use long shelf-life primary cells as backups in the field. For this reason, we prefer SureFire’s interpretation of dual fuel.

Despite performance advantages, rechargeables do have pitfalls. Rechargeable CR123s can reach voltages much higher than the 3V of primary cell and damage electronics; SureFire recommends only using their branded cells for this reason. RCR123s also have lower capacity compared to primary cells; SureFire branded rechargeables only have 450mAh compared to 1550mAh of primaries. For 18650 and 18350, some cells handle protection against abuses like over-charging, over-discharging, and reverse polarity. Using non-approved cells can remove such protection and lead to fires. Not all batteries are created equal, so we recommend following manufacturer recommendations.

FORM FACTOR

Firearm accessories are like Barbies for men. Sometimes, there is no telling whether a handbag goes with a dress until you put everything together, and there is no telling whether a light fits ergonomically until you put it into service.

For example, the need to mount a clip-on night vision device forced our laser aiming device to the side and necessitated a tape switch for ergonomic activation. Said tape switch pushed the light too close the muzzle. While a single cell light (e.g., SureFire M340) would mitigate muzzle blast concerns, we ultimately decided the reduced output and restricted situational awareness was not acceptable. There was no predicting the interference until we assembled everything.

To combat that unpredictability, SureFire Pro series lights pivot around the mount for ergonomic positioning and accommodate different handguards or laser devices. Traditionally, lights mount atop Picatinny rail sections and require aftermarket mounts for vertical or lateral offset. Different mounts are required for different positioning. The SureFire Pro provides an OEM solution that can mount directly to M-LOK and is hinged for infinitely adjustable offsets. Bobro Engineering’s pivoting mount (BM2-FP-000-003) upgrades legacy SureFire style bodies to have the same capabilities. This flexibility prevents the spare parts bin from expanding during the quest for ergonomic compatibility.

SWITCHOLOGY

Activation mechanism is another vital ergonomic piece. Switches fall into either momentary-only or constant-on (aka, “clicky”). Lightly press with a clicky gives momentary-on, while a firm push ‘till a click activates constant-on. SureFire only ships weapon lights with a clicky tailcap, but Arisaka Defense offers an aftermarket momentary-only replacement.

Remotely mounted tape switches allow you to ergonomically fire the light or laser when the units are forced to suboptimal locations by other accessories, or to utilize the visible override feature on lasers. Beware that some tape switches only support SureFire leads; the Streamlight Protac HL-X requires a tailcap adapter, and the Cloud Defensive OWL cannot accept any aftermarket tape switch at all. Mirroring tailcaps, light activation for the Modlite ModButton and the Unity TAPS are momentary-only while the Unity Hot Button and the Unity AXON are clicky.

There is no wrong choice as long as you can maintain light discipline. At home, with a clicky switch, we had no problems modulating pressure to select momentary activation. During class with some adrenaline, we mashed the button and accidentally selected constant-on while thinking we were momentary-only. This lack of light discipline caused us to backlight ourselves during a rifle-to-pistol transition drill. Our lesson learned was to use a momentary-only tape switch along with a DS00 tailcap to maintain the constant-on option. We found the latter useful for relieving finger strain while holding a light on a hallway for long periods. The goal is to maintain light discipline, equipment just makes that easier.

CONCLUSION

You should not select a light based on a single specification. The job dictates the ideal beam pattern while ancillary concerns such as battery and form factor considerations also play a part. Understanding concepts like candela and lumen helps us cut through confusion caused by marketing terms. Until we get wearables with augmented reality exploiting other spectrums, we must augment our vision with photons the best we can.

BLASER

R8 Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 PRC

Blaser now offers its R8 Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 PRC. Known for its accuracy and long-range performance, the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge is essentially a magnum version of the 6.5 Creedmoor with a flatter trajectory and higher impact velocity, making it a favorite of long-range hunters.

The straight-pull R8 bolt action rifle, renowned for its reliability, repeatability, speed and precision, offers hunters a vast number of configurations to meet their needs in the field. Options include a wide array of stock options, a recoil reduction system, adjustable comb, adjustable length of pull, and numerous barrels and bolt heads to facilitate quick conversions to different calibers, depending on the type of game one is hunting.

“If you combine all the different standard options on an R8, you can build over 47 million unique rifles and that does not even include custom shop options,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “The interchangeability makes it incredibly easy to convert your rifle from one caliber to another by simply switching out the barrel and bolt head. This can be done in less than a minute. The engineering and craftsmanship is so extraordinary, after any barrel change, the rifle will shoot to within 1/2 MOA every time.”

The compact overall length and modularity of the Blaser R8 offer distinct advantages to hunters who travel frequently, allowing them to carry one rifle with several different barrels instead of transporting multiple guns around the world. The Blaser Saddle Mount system allows for easy and precise mounting of a riflescope by allowing the one-piece base of the mount to fit into notches machined into the top of the free-floating barrel. The barrel and saddle mount become one accurate unit, ensuring absolute repeatability once the scope has been zeroed, regardless of how many times the scope is removed from the barrel. The R8’s concentric locking lugs with 14 locking surfaces provide 360-degree enagagement, further enhancing accuracy. The R8 is available in numerous calibers from .204 Ruger to .500 Jeffrey.

SENTRY Products Group

Next Gen AR-15 Mag

The SENTRY Hexmag Carbon Fiber AR-15 Mag uses a proprietary blend of Carbon Fibers for a stronger, lighter AR-15 magazine.

After the acquisition of the Hexmag brand in 2017, SENTRY Products Group set out to refine and expand their magazine and on gun accessory line. The most recent advancement is SENTRY’s Carbon Fiber AR-15 magazine, made from a proprietary carbon fiber composite blended with our Polyhex2 polymer, offering exceptional durability and consistent performance.

With the industry’s first tool-less takedown design, the magazines can be easily cleaned and maintained. A heat-treated stainless-steel spring eliminates corrosion and resists fatigue even while loaded for long periods of time. Customization can be done through Hexmag’s True Riser system to create State compliant 10, 15, and 30-round configurations; and with the SENTRY HexID color identification system, the user can quickly identify caliber and ammo type through the coded safety system featuring high visibility followers and latch plate.
