The zoom function on this 150-lumen tactical light lets you switch between a wide floodlight for searching large areas (like a warehouse or parking lot) and a focused beam for long-distance spotting up to 100+ yards. The strobe mode serves dual purposes: emergency signaling during roadside breakdowns or outdoor emergencies, and as a defensive disorientation tool for law enforcement and security personnel. This combination makes the Rothco CREE flashlight versatile for both tactical operations and everyday emergency preparedness.

At 150 lumens from a 3-watt Cree LED, this Rothco flashlight delivers professional-grade brightness in a compact 5.25-inch form factor. While full-size patrol lights often exceed 300+ lumens, this model balances power with portability—bright enough for vehicle searches, perimeter checks, and map reading without the bulk. The High/Low modes let you conserve battery life during extended shifts, making it ideal for backup duty lights, glove box storage, or as a secondary EDC light for first responders.

Yes. The compact 5.25-inch length and lightweight aluminum alloy construction make it compatible with most universal flashlight holders and duty belt pouches designed for 5–6 inch lights. The built-in pocket clip also allows you to attach it directly to MOLLE webbing, tactical vests, or uniform pockets. The included lanyard provides an additional carry option for wrist retention during operations or when working at height.

This flashlight is designed to accept standard AA or AAA batteries (check product packaging for exact battery type). You can use high-quality rechargeable NiMH batteries as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to disposables. Rechargeable batteries also maintain consistent brightness output across the High and Low modes, ensuring reliable performance during extended use in the field or during power outages.

Unlike generic import flashlights, the Rothco CREE uses a genuine 3-watt Cree LED—known for superior brightness, color accuracy, and longevity compared to no-name LEDs. The aluminum alloy body provides military-grade durability without the weight penalty of steel construction. Rothco's reputation for supplying government and first responder agencies means this flashlight meets real-world tactical standards, not just consumer-grade specs. At SKU 861, it's a proven workhorse for professionals who need reliable backup lighting.
