FMA Rattler Stalk Helmet Light with ARC Rail Mount
The FMA Rattler Stalk is a compact multifunctional helmet-mounted lighting system designed for tactical helmets and compatible platforms. Its low-profile design and wide range of operating modes help reduce the need for multiple separate light sources, offering high versatility across various tactical scenarios.
The device combines visible and infrared lighting, making it suitable for night vision operations. It also features an infrared IFF beacon that can be used simultaneously with other lighting modes for visual identification under NVG.
Multi-mode lighting system
The light supports several operating modes:
- white light (W);
- colored illumination;
- infrared (IR) lighting;
- infrared IFF beacon;
- steady and strobe modes.
White, color, and IR modes offer three levels of brightness adjustment.
Control system
Operation is managed via intuitive controls:
- 3 brightness levels;
- long press for cycling brightness;
- triple press for strobe activation;
- dedicated switch for IFF mode.
Maximum white light output reaches up to 76 lumens, suitable for close-range and general tactical use.
Infrared capabilities
The IR system includes:
- three IR brightness levels;
- output power up to 5.8 mW;
- compatibility with night vision devices;
- IR strobe function;
- simultaneous operation of IR beacon (IFF) and lighting modes.
Power supply
The device supports two power sources:
- 1 × CR123A (primary option);
- 1 × AA (backup option).
Batteries are not included.
Construction and mounting
The housing is made of durable polymer nylon, combining lightweight design with strong resistance to mechanical stress.
The ARC Rail mount allows quick installation on compatible helmets and provides secure retention without adding bulk to the gear setup.
