I have been on the lookout for a new strobe setup for awhile and when I saw the HEL-Star 6 I knew it would be what I was looking for. It combined two things I had on my helmet, an IR strobe and a visible light v-lite, in one simple setup and the ability to switch between overt and covert modes with tactile switches was a huge plus over buttons.

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.
