Nightstick TAC460XLK01 Tactical Long Gun Light Kit: Illuminate Your Advantage

In demanding scenarios, visibility is not just a luxury—it's a critical component of safety and effectiveness. Whether you're a professional in law enforcement or security, a dedicated hunter, a competitive shooter, or simply ensuring your home defense setup is optimized, operating in low-light conditions presents unique challenges. The ability to identify targets, assess threats, and maintain situational awareness quickly and accurately can mean the difference between success and failure. This is precisely the problem the Nightstick TAC460XLK01 Tactical Long Gun Light Kit is engineered to solve, providing an immediate and decisive advantage when every lumen counts.

Crafted by Nightstick, a brand synonymous with innovation and reliability in professional lighting solutions, the TAC460XLK01 kit represents a comprehensive answer for anyone looking to equip their long gun with a high-performance tactical light. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly with any long gun featuring a Picatinny or Weaver rail, transforming your rifle, carbine, or shotgun into a formidable tool for low-light engagements. Available at trusted retailers like DEGuns, this kit offers a complete, ready-to-deploy lighting solution right out of the box.

Unleashing Xtreme Lumens: Power and Precision

At the core of this exceptional kit is the Nightstick TAC-460XL Xtreme Lumens metal tactical light, boasting a powerful 800-lumen output. But sheer brightness is only part of the equation. What truly sets the TAC-460XL apart is its sophisticated light delivery system. Combined with a high-efficiency deep parabolic reflector, this light projects a focused beam that achieves a remarkable distance rating of 205 meters.

• Long-Distance Target Acquisition: For hunters tracking game at dawn or dusk, or tactical operators needing to identify threats across open terrain, the concentrated beam ensures clear target illumination at extended ranges. This capability is vital for making informed decisions, reducing misidentification risks, and ensuring precise shot placement.
• Close Quarters Battle (CQB) Effectiveness: Beyond its impressive throw, the TAC-460XL also features a wide secondary halo of light. This broad peripheral illumination is incredibly effective in dynamic, close-quarters environments. It helps maintain situational awareness by lighting up the immediate surroundings, revealing potential threats or obstacles that might be outside the main beam. This dual-purpose beam profile makes the TAC-460XL an incredibly versatile tool, adapting effortlessly from vast outdoor settings to confined indoor spaces.

Engineered for Durability: Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions

A tactical light must be as robust and reliable as the firearm it adorns. The Nightstick TAC-460XL is constructed from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. This isn't just a marketing term; it signifies a commitment to enduring the rigors of real-world use.

Further enhancing its resilience, the light features a Type III hard-anodized finish. This advanced coating provides superior abrasion resistance, protecting the light from scratches, dings, and environmental wear that are common in tactical or outdoor environments. This ensures the light maintains its pristine condition and functional integrity even after prolonged use in harsh conditions.

Moreover, the TAC-460XL is rated IP67 dustproof and waterproof. What does IP67 mean for you?

• Dustproof: It offers complete protection against the ingress of dust, making it ideal for dusty firing ranges, arid hunting grounds, or sandy combat zones.
• Waterproof: It can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) for at least 30 minutes. This makes it impervious to heavy rain, accidental drops in shallow water, or even temporary submersion, ensuring reliable operation when you need it most, regardless of weather conditions.

Seamless Integration and Intuitive Control

The Nightstick TAC460XLK01 kit is designed for immediate and intuitive use. It provides everything necessary for quick installation and versatile operation:

• Quad Lock Mount: Included in the kit, the Quad Lock Mount ensures a secure and stable attachment to any standard Picatinny or Weaver rail. This robust mounting solution minimizes wobble and ensures the light remains firmly in place, even under heavy recoil. Its design allows for quick and straightforward installation, getting you ready for action without delay.
• Dual Control Options for Tactical Flexibility: The kit includes two distinct switch options, providing operators with supreme control tailored to their specific needs:
  • Standard Tail Switch: This versatile switch offers both momentary-on and constant-on functionality. A quick press activates the light for temporary illumination, ideal for momentary target identification or quick checks. A full click locks the light into a constant-on mode for sustained illumination during prolonged engagements or hands-free operation.
  • Remote Pressure Switch: For tactical professionals and competitive shooters, the Remote Pressure Switch is an indispensable asset. Its momentary on/off design allows for immediate light activation only when desired, promoting disciplined light use and preventing accidental illumination that could reveal an operator's position. This switch can be strategically placed on the weapon's forend using the included self-adhesive Velcro strip, allowing for ergonomic activation without altering your grip or compromising weapon control. An alcohol pad is also included for surface prep, ensuring a strong, lasting bond for the Velcro strip.

Power Source Considerations

The Nightstick TAC460XLK01 is powered by two CR123 Lithium Batteries, which are conveniently included in the kit, ensuring the light is ready for immediate deployment upon arrival. It is crucial to note that this light is not compatible with rechargeable CR123-style batteries. Using non-rechargeable CR123 lithium batteries ensures optimal performance and reliability, delivering a consistent 800 lumens for over 1 hour of continuous runtime. This specific battery choice is critical for applications where performance cannot be compromised.

Who Will Benefit Most from the Nightstick TAC460XLK01?

This tactical light kit is an invaluable asset for a wide range of users and scenarios:

• Law Enforcement and Security Personnel: For patrol officers, SWAT teams, and security guards operating in low-light environments, the TAC460XLK01 provides the crucial illumination needed for suspect identification, building clearing, and perimeter control. Its durable construction and reliable performance are non-negotiable in critical situations.
• Hunters: Whether you're tracking game in dense brush at dawn or navigating dark trails, this light ensures clear visibility and ethical shot placement, enhancing safety and success during challenging hunts. Its long throw is particularly beneficial for identifying game at a distance.
• Home Defense Enthusiasts: Equipping a home defense shotgun or carbine with the TAC460XLK01 significantly enhances your ability to identify potential threats within your home. The wide secondary halo is perfect for illuminating rooms, while the powerful main beam can temporarily disorient an intruder, giving you a tactical advantage.
• Competitive Shooters: For night matches or low-light stages, the quick-activating remote switch and powerful output provide a competitive edge, allowing for faster target acquisition and better performance.
• Outdoor Enthusiasts and Preppers: For anyone who needs a reliable, robust light for their long gun in emergency preparedness scenarios, camping, or exploring rugged terrain, the TAC460XLK01 offers dependable illumination and durability.
