Princeton Tec Charge X is an upgraded version of the brand’s well-known helmet-mounted lights, designed for professional use in demanding and dynamic environments. The model is intended for military personnel, law enforcement officers, rescue teams, and specialists who require a compact, rugged, and multifunctional light source.
The flashlight operates in five lighting modes: white, red, green, blue, and infrared. This combination allows it to effectively handle both tactical and support tasks. The programmable function enables users to set their own LED activation sequence, tailoring the light’s operation to specific needs. The updated flexible mounting arm from Princeton Tec provides precise beam positioning, while the compact housing takes up minimal space on a helmet rail without interfering with other gear.
Charge X is compatible with most common mounting systems, allowing it to be installed on tactical and military helmets, rail platforms, or load-bearing equipment. Its sealed housing meets the IPX8 waterproof standard, meaning the flashlight is resistant to rain and can withstand submersion in water up to 2 meters. Control is handled via a single rubberized button that can be easily operated even while wearing gloves. With a maximum output of up to 100 lumens, it delivers sufficient light for navigation, map reading, and close-range tasks. An additional elastic headstrap allows the flashlight to be used without a helmet.
The model supports dual power options: a CR123 lithium battery for maximum runtime or a standard AA battery for greater convenience in field conditions.
