Description
The Nightstick USB-4510M is a compact, rechargeable Multi-Flood USB Gear Light (sometimes called a MOLLE clip gear light or accessory floodlight) designed for hands-free area illumination. Nightstick (by Bayco) markets it primarily for law enforcement, first responders, jobsite crews, tactical users, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable close-range lighting without tying up their hands.
Key Features
- Light Modes: Wide-beam floodlight with selectable colors.
- White: High (250 lumens) or Low (60 lumens).
- Red floodlight and Green floodlight (for preserving night vision or better visibility in certain conditions like haze/fog; approximate ~60 lumens each).
- Controls: Dual front-facing switches for intuitive operation (even while mounted).
- Right switch: White low → white high (quick double-press) → off.
- Left switch: Red → green (quick double-press) → off.
- Hold right switch 3 seconds for white blinking/strobe mode.
- Hold both switches 3 seconds to toggle battery shut-off/lock mode (prevents accidental drain).
- Mounting: Secure clasp/clip optimized for MOLLE/PALS webbing, mic loops on vests, backpack straps, or ~1-inch straps. It includes an adjustable ratchet tilt head for angling the beam. Some users adapt it with a headband for headlamp-style use.
- Build: Rugged engineered polymer housing (impact- and chemical-resistant), matte black finish. Drop-rated to 2 meters. IP-X7 waterproof (submersible).
- Power: Integrated rechargeable LiPo battery (USB-C charging). No user-replaceable batteries.
- Runtime: ~7 hours on white high (250 lm), ~35 hours on white low (60 lm), ~12+ hours on red/green modes.
- Charge time: ~2.75 hours (5VDC max; red charging indicator turns green when full). Includes a 2-foot USB-C cable. Rubber port cover for protection.
- Size & Weight: Very lightweight and pocketable — 2.48″ long × 1.12″ wide × 1.26″ deep (63 × 28 × 32 mm); 1.8 oz (51 g).
- Other: 2-year limited warranty. Not rated for hazardous/explosive environments.
It’s ideal for tasks like reading maps/reports, searching vehicle interiors, working on equipment, or navigating in low light while keeping both hands free. The flood beam provides even area coverage rather than a tight spotlight, and the colored modes help avoid ruining night vision or drawing attention.
Who It’s For
- Tactical/LE users attaching it to plate carriers, vests, or duty gear.
- Industrial or safety vest users (clips to mic loops).
- Outdoor/hiking/hunting for hands-free task lighting.
- Anyone needing a versatile, durable clip-on floodlight without the bulk of a full headlamp.
