Studies
1. Flashlight-Related Injuries
​ Striking with Flashlights:​
​
There have been several high-profile cases where officers used flashlights as
impact weapons, leading to serious injuries. For example, a 2010 study in the
Journal of Forensic Sciences reviewed cases where flashlights were used in
excessive force incidents, causing significant harm to suspects.
Inadvertent Discharges:
Tactical lights mounted on firearms have sometimes contributed to unintentional
discharges when officers mistakenly activated the weapon while attempting to turn
on the light. The integration of lights with trigger mechanisms has been a point of
concern, leading to injuries or even fatalities.
​
Loss of Flashlights:
​
There are also cases where officers lost their flashlights during physical
confrontations or foot pursuits, leaving them in a vulnerable position or contributing
to the escalation of the incident. These losses often happen during stressful
situations, where the need for a hands-free lighting solution becomes apparent.

Low Light Tactics
The Hands-Free Tactical Light System revolutionizes law enforcement capabilities during low-light incidents. As we balance enforcement with community policing, having the right tools is crucial. Traditional handheld flashlights and weapon-mounted lights, though useful, have limitations that can compromise officer safety and response times.
​
The Problem:
Handheld flashlights divide attention, while weapon-mounted lights can escalate force unintentionally, as shown in studies where 60% of accidental discharges occurred while manipulating these lights. Major law enforcement agencies have documented the risks, leading some, like the Denver Police Department, to ban certain weapon-mounted lights due to safety concerns.
​
The Solution:
Our Hands-Free Tactical Light System offers a groundbreaking alternative. It mounts comfortably on the officer's hand, providing full illumination while keeping both hands free for essential tasks. The system is impact-resistant, waterproof (IPX6), and equipped with a 360-degree mounting bracket and a remote switch for ease of use. Optional soft-touch gloves add comfort and control.
​
Why It Matters:
This system enhances officer safety by eliminating the need to juggle tools, reducing the risk of accidental discharges, and improving response times. For the community, it supports de-escalation efforts and fosters trust by showing a commitment to safety and accountability.
