EAGLEVILLE, PA, --(AmmoLand.com)- Streamlight®, Inc., a leading flashlight manufacturer for sportsmen, hunters and other recreational users, announced it introduced a high performance version of its lightweight, compact tactical PolyTac® LED—the PolyTac® LED HP — on January 1. The new model offers nearly triple the peak beam intensity of its predecessor for even greater performance. The new light features C4® power LED technology.

The lithium-powered PolyTac LED HP delivers 150 lumens measured system output and 15,000 candela peak beam intensity, enough to provide critical lighting for a variety of outdoor and recreational uses. It features the same compact, lightweight polymer casing as previous PolyTac models.

“This high performance light, in addition to being high intensity, reaches long distances, making it especially useful for tracking game or other outdoor search activities under low light conditions,” said Streamlight President Ray Sharrah. “At the same time, it is extremely lightweight and tough, making it an excellent choice for hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts.”

The PolyTac LED HP uses a C4 LED bulb which is impervious to shock with a 50,000 hour lifetime to provide 3 hours of continuous runtime to the 10% output level. The light’s deep-dish parabolic reflector produces a long-range targeting beam over a distance of more than 800 feet, with optimum peripheral illumination to aid in navigation. It has an unbreakable polycarbonate lens with a scratch-resistant coating.

Weighing only 4.4 ounces and measuring 5.65 inches, the light features a casing made of high-impact, super tough nylon polymer for exceptional durability and a sure grip. It has a tailcap push-button switch for easy, one-handed operation in either momentary or constant on mode. It uses two 3-volt lithium batteries, which have a shelf life of 10 years.

Featuring an IPX7 rated design, the PolyTac LED HP is waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The light has been tested to the ANSI/NEMA F-1 Flashlight Standard. Available in black or yellow, the PolyTac LED HP retails for $75.00 and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime warranty.

InSight Technology

LONDONDERRY, NH --(AmmoLand.com)- Insight Technology, the world’s leading provider of tactical lasers, illuminators and thermal imaging equipment, will be the title sponsor of the evening portion of the Day-Night-Day match being held December 12-13 at The Range in Oxford, N.C.

The Day-Night-Day match is comprised of three separate events and competitors compete in one, two or all three events. The Insight Technology Night Championship will be held on the evening of Saturday, December 12 and limited to 80 shooters.

“We’re excited to be the premier sponsor of the Insight Technology Night Championship – the night portion of the match. For more than 20 years Insight has been making products to help the warfighter, law enforcement officer and responsible citizen dominate the darkness, and now we add the competition shooter to that list,” said Paul Erhardt of Insight Technology.

During the Insight Technology Night Championship competitors will negotiate six challenging courses of fire under the low light conditions of the winter evening sky. Insight products will be incorporated into the match giving competitors the opportunity to test the equipment under the stressful conditions of real world scenarios.

“Our night match is one of the few true low light outdoor matches in the country making it a big draw for serious handgun competitors, bringing in shooters from the IDPA, USPSA and ICORE disciplines. The night match is approaching its 20th anniversary and we’re proud to have Insight Technology joining as our title sponsor. We expect this year’s match to be the best ever,” said Scott Ruby, sponsor coordinator for the Day-Night-Day match.

The Range is widely regarded in the competition community for the quality of its matches and challenging course designs. It is also home to the Carolina Cup, one of the three major matches on the IDPA circuit.

More than 18,000 rounds will be put downrange across all three matches as competitors compete for titles in two divisions – Weapon Mounted Lights or Handheld Lights.
