INFORCE seemed to be set out to create a weapons light built to drop some weight and be ergonomic. They managed to do this in a compact package that is well thought out. Instead of creating a flashlight with a separate mount to strap on they decided to make the whole thing out of a polymer and have the mount molded right in. At first I was a bit skeptical of this small package but it has come to be one of my favorite lights.

I had been looking for a light that I can carry on me at all times for a long time now. I was unimpressed by the small keychain lights you see in the checkout lanes of big stores so I went on a search to find something better.

The Petzl TACTIKKA XP is a multi brightness headlamp with several wide angle colors that can be popped in. This allows you to meet the lighting discipline of your mission while going hands free. The TACTIKKA headlamp runs on 3 AAA batteries with a max stated run time of 120 hours on low.

The following review is on a product by Gear Keeper. The retractor lanyard system is very versatile in mount methods and forces to extend. It allows you to attach an item like a flashlight, multi tool, keys etc to your person. Once attached you can extend the cord by pulling the item to use it. This helps minimize loss of essential small kit items. They even make retention systems for firearms. The one being reviewed in the article is the 9oz of force Heavy Duty Snap Clip model. This model allows the Gear Keeper to be attached to a D-ring or other similar item.
