Nightstick is now shipping the new tactical LED LGL 160 T kit, which includes the high candela version of the original LGL 160 tactical light.

The LGL 160 T light has an external aluminum housing made from 6061 T6 aluminum with a hard-coat black anodized finish. The unit itself can generate up to 100,000 candela and 800 lumens with a 2-hour runtime. The LED-powered beam is set around a newly designed high intensity parabolic reflector and throws a tightly focused beam out to almost 700 yards. Besides the new high candela model, the kit also includes a standard tail cap switch with a reversible thumbscrew Picatinny rail mount, and a Nightstick exclusive wire management rail clamp.

"Following the success of our LGL-160 long gun light and feedback from law enforcement agencies and customers who are always looking for additional lighting options, our engineering team took on the design challenge and delivered,” says Garret Eason, Nightstick Marketing Manager for Law Enforcement and Sporting Goods. “The LGL-160-T’s unique reflectors maximize light intensity for a higher intensity focal point along the center axis, increasing beam distance while maintaining a bright splash area. This uncompromising design gives the operator threat identification and confirmation peace of mind, when life depends on light.”

  • 100,000 Candela
  • Tailcap switch or a 6-inch-long, remote-pressure switch
  • Momentary or constant-on function
  • Standard and offset Picatinny rail mounts
