"We've designed it to meet the demands of professionals who require longer beam-throw distance, the ability to defeat photonic barriers, precise target discrimination and reliability in critical situations."

The USB-588-T features a flashlight rated at 1,100 lumens and a 350 lumen downward-facing floodlight. Using revised LED and bezel dimensions, the USB-588-T produces an increased 85,000 candela, with a beam distance of 547 meters. In dual-light mode, the USB-588-T puts out a combined 850 lumens. The light is 6 inches long and weighs 5.9 ounces. It is also multi-functional, cycling between high, medium and low modes.

Crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum with a hard-anodized black finish, the USB-588-T is rated as IPX7 waterproof and features a discreetly sleeved collar that opens for direct USB-C charging. The built-in charging indicator turns from red to green when fully charged.
