Laser Devices is now Steiner eOptics, it just happened 1 January. Steiner eOptics shows the DBAL-A3 class 1/3R Civilian, the first eye-safe IR laser pointer, IR illuminator and green laser pointer in a single compact unit. The DBAL-A3 class 1/3R Civilian, based on the standard issue DBAL-A3 for U.S. warfighters, brings the latest advances in IR and laser technology to the civilian market with its dual beam reliability for extreme accuracy in low- and no-light maneuvers. In addition, the DBAL-A3 is the first to feature new defocused adjustable IR illumination technology to enable both midrange and close quarter target acquisition. Like the military issue DBAL-A3 it includes a single laser activation switch, low profile windage and elevation adjusters and mounting holes for a flip-up front sight, sub-miniature red dot sight or a MIL-SPEC-1913 top rail. The DBAL-A3 also features dual remote cable ports that allow the operator to plug a Forward Mounted Light directly into the laser housing using the dual remote cable switch. One switch pressure pad activates the light and visible laser simultaneously; a second switch activates the infrared functions, enabling operators to instantly transition from infrared to white light on the fly. Housed in an Aircraft aluminum 6061-T6 / MIL-SPEC Type III hardcoat anodized case, the DBAL-A3 Civilian is as rugged and reliable as the military issue DBAL-A3 on which it is based. With the introduction of the 3-laser DBAL-A3 is also the 2-laser DBAL-I2 that offers a choice of either an IR pointer with a visual pointer or an IR pointer with an IR illuminator.

In 2014, Nightstick launched over 40 new SKU's and announced the widest array of lighting products available anywhere! This year, their product pipeline is stacked with incredible amount of new innovations, their new 2015 Nightstick Catalog was just made available on their website.
New and in time to make a 2015 SHOT Show debut, the Nightstick TAC-302B green-LED polymer tactical flashlight produces a 150-lumen green beam with a run-time of 3.5 hours on a pair of CR-123 lithium batteries (included). Its rugged glass-filled nylon polymer housing is non-slip, rated as IP-X7 waterproof and resistant to chemicals and impacts. Its 1” handle diameter is a good fit for most tactical scope or flashlight mounts. The TAC-302B uses a CREE LED rated at 150 lumens in conjunction with a high-efficiency deep parabolic reflector to create a usable beam rated at 180 meters (over 590 feet). Green lighting is favored by hunters, sportsmen& in some tactical applications; in general use, it offers a different way of seeing things that can give some objects more contrast so they are easier to see. Also, human vision is most sensitive to green, so lower levels of green light can provide better visibility, especially around woods or greenery. The TAC-302B tactical flashlight is now available for purchase as a stand-alone tactical flashlight with an included removable pocket clip, or as part of a kit under Nightstick model TAC-302B-K01. The kit comes nicely equipped with the TAC-302B tactical flashlight, a quad lock 1” mount for any Picatinny or Weaver rail system, an Allen wrench to tighten, a remote pressure switch (RPS) and a tail cap switch capable of momentary or constant-on operation.
“The green LED emitted from the Nightstick TAC-302B is designed to not darken shadows preserving a user’s night vision and creating exceptional levels of contrast needed to exceed user expectation,” says Russell Hoppe, Marketing Manager for Nightstick. “What makes this product launch even more exciting is that we positioned the Nightstick TAC-302B Green LED Tactical Flashlight with an average retail price of $39.95, making it easy to see the savings even at night!”
TAC-302B features: Green CREE LED technology – 50,000 + hours LED life, sharp focused beam, momentary or constant-on flashlight, glass-filled nylon polymer housing – Black, non-slip grip, aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum tail-cap with Type III hard anodized finish, large textured tail-switch, 1” handle diameter fits most scope/flashlight mounts, waterproof, impact & chemical resistant, powered by two - CR-123 batteries (included), removable pocket clip. TAC-360XL jumps from 350 to 500 lumens; TAC-460XL jumps from 525 to 800 lumens. All while size, pricing, weight and runtime remain the same. Selected Nightstick flashlights are now available with significantly higher brightness due to an internal upgrade to a new series of CREE LED emitters. As of now, the compact Nightstick TAC-360XL Xtreme Lumens Metal Tactical Flashlight produces 500 lumens (predecessor models produced 350 lumens) while maintaining a 1.5-hour runtime from 2 CR 123 lithium batteries (included). Its tight and narrow beam delivers a whopping 150-meter of usable light (over 492 feet) from this boosted brightness. Similarly, a CREE XL L2 emitter upgrade for the Nightstick TAC-460XL Xtreme Lumens Rechargeable Metal Tactical Flashlight brings its light engine up to 800 lumens (predecessor models produced 525 lumens). Although it is now 50% brighter than before, the increased efficiency still allows this flashlight to retain the same 2-hour runtime as its predecessor. The TAC-460XL boasts a beam distance rated at 205 meters (over 672 feet) that is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery (included). The TAC-460XL tactical flashlight also comes nicely equipped with a charger, both AC & DC power supplies and a CR-123 Battery Carrier which provides the ability to run from a pair of CR-123 batteries (not included) as a back-up to the lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Both upgraded tactical flashlight model housings and tail-caps are made from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a Type III hard anodized finish maximizing durability. These two models uniquely pair their respective CREE LED emitters with a high-efficiency deep parabolic reflector to optimize beam distance and to deliver exceptional performance, while maintaining a water rating of IP-X7 waterproof.
Bayco Products announces three new Nightstick LED flashlight offerings optimized and accessorised for mounting onto the accessory rails of long-guns. Two of these lights are made from a ruggedized glass-filled housing and the third from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, all hardened to withstand recoil. They have 1” case diameters that are compatible with many existing light mounts but these products include a Quad Lock 1” mount for Picatinny or Weaver rail systems and a wrench for it. For use both on and off the gun each product includes both a remote pressure switch (RPS) and a tail cap switch, each capable of momentary or constant-on operation, plus a removable pocket clip on two of three models. All three Nightstick long-gun kits are rated IP-X7 waterproof.
Deep-parabolic polished reflectors contribute to a long-throw narrow beam spot while also creating a surrounding halo so you don't just see the target, you also see what’s happening around it; this halo is also very productive in close-quarters operations. The 6.7”-long TAC-460XL-K01 with RPS Long Gun Light Kit (average retail $65) is serialized and boasts an 800-lumen CREE LED emitter for 10,765 candelas of brightness, a beam throw of 672 feet (224 yards) and a 1.5 hour runtime on 2 CR123 lithium batteries (included). A green CREE LED emitter is the specialized highlight of the 6”-long TAC-302B-K01 Varmint Hunter Green Light Kit with RPS (average retail $50); green LED light appears to be less noticed by animals and is an asset when controlling animal threats to crops of livestock. Two CR123 lithium batteries (included) power this light to 150 lumens for 8,072 candelas of brightness and a throw of 590 feet (196 yards) for 3.5 hours. The black 5.5”-long TAC-300B-K01 with RPS Polymer Long Gun Light Kit (average retail $50) also includes 2 CR123 lithium batteries on which it runs up to 3 hours delivering 180 lumens for 9,150 candelas of brightness and a range of 623 feet (207 yards).
