Insight Tech HX150 Arcturus Tactical Light

Details

Written by Joseph Canady

For the past few months I have been trying out the new addition to insight technology's line, the HX150 Arcturus Tactical Flashlight.  I have tried to make this thing fail, dropped it from high places, tossed it from a moving car, I even accidentally ran over it with my car, yes it even survived it. 

The HX150 Arcturus is not your average tactical light.  This can also be a weapon mounted light (with optional mounting ring).  When you first pick up the light you feel the solid construction, with its Hard-Coat anodized aluminum construction the HX150 takes a beating and keeps going.  

   The HX150 has 5 light modes, Momentary on, Constant on, Strobe, SOS, and Dimming. The strobe function is a great feature, this can stun an assailant to give you that extra few seconds that might save your life.  In a survival scenario, the light dimming feature can extend the life of your light to almost 35 nights (based on 8 hour nights).  All these features can be access one handed, the features are not hard to cycle through, within a few minutes of playing with it, i got the features down.  Double tap for constant on, while on double tap for strobe, or press and hold for dim.

   I can say without a doubt that this is light that any professional needs as your primary light. 

   This is a multi function light that produces 150 lumens to a distance of 400 ft.  The programmable features are constant on, momentary on, strobe, dimming, S.O.S and auto off (after 20 minutes) You can get up to 300 hours of use at the low setting and 2 hours @ high setting all from 2 lithium 123 batteries.  This thing is even waterproof to 15 feet.  There is also the HX150R Arcturus, all the same great features as well as a rechargeable battery.  

The HX150 sells for $169.00 and the HX150R sells for $179.00.
