Strategos has a new handheld or weapon-mounting flashlight: the PEL-6 Secutor. This illumination tool uses a Cree LED that produces 120 lumens of adjustable bright white light. The Secutor also has a high output of disorienting strobe light that’s designed to reduce or eliminate a suspect’s ability to maintain balance, peripheral vision and depth perception. The user has the ability to change functions and operate the light with one hand, leaving the other hand free to perform tasks such as operating a firearm. The lockout system on the Secutor prevents the light from accidentally turning on during high-risk and low-light situations. Its surface coating is made from a durable ceramic that prevents scratches. The Secutor comes with a two-year warranty on all parts and a lifetime warranty on the LED.
