Why the Modlite OKW Is a Must-Have for Law Enforcement and Military Use

The modern law enforcement officer or SWAT team member needs equipment they can depend on when faced with the gravest extreme. That’s why these brave men and women are always equipped with the gear they need to survive in hostile environments. 

Here, the weapon-mounted light (WML) setup is of paramount importance. After all, the very last thing you need in a potential hostage situation is to go in blind during an engagement. 

That’s why a dedicated WML is every bit as crucial to the success of a mission as any other weapon and accessory. This is where the Modlite OKW 18650 comes into the picture. 

The 18650 is all about durability and throw. This is a tough WML engineered to handle demanding conditions. It has also been designed to throw its beam of light over a great distance instead of flooding the entire area. While it may not have very high lumens (clocking in at 680), that’s not why it was created. Its throw or candela clocks in at a staggering 69,000. 

In layman’s terms, this means that the OKW projects its beam up to around 250 yards. Once mated to an LPVO, it will help ensure that you can positively identify and engage targets in the dark at even very long distances.

The OKW 18650 – Built Tough
