The Classic "Moonbeam" Design, Modernized For decades, the "MX-991/U" right-angle flashlight has been an icon of military gear. Rothco has updated this classic design for the modern era with the Mini LED Army Style Flashlight. Shrinking the form factor down to a pocket-friendly size and replacing the old incandescent bulb with 6 Energy-Efficient LEDs, this torch is the perfect backup light for camping, emergency kits, or tactical vests.
Gone are the days of fumbling with loose plastic color filters in the dark. This flashlight features Built-In Multi-Color LEDs: 3 White LEDs for general illumination, plus 1 Red, 1 Green, and 1 Blue LED for signaling or preserving night vision. A simple switch allows you to cycle through these modes instantly. True to its heritage, it features a 90-Degree Angled Head and a heavy-duty Metal Belt Clip, allowing you to attach it to a shirt pocket, belt, or MOLLE webbing for hands-free lighting while you work.
Key Features
- 4-Color Lighting: Features 3 White LEDs for brightness, plus Red (Night Vision), Green (Map Reading), and Blue (Blood Tracking/Signaling) modes.
- Hands-Free Design: The iconic right-angle head and rear clip allow you to mount the light on your chest or belt to illuminate your path without using your hands.
- LED Efficiency: LEDs run longer and cooler than traditional bulbs, extending the life of your batteries during emergencies.
- IP44 Water Resistant: Rated to withstand splashing water and rain, making it reliable for outdoor weather conditions.
- Standard Power: Runs on 2 x AA Batteries (not included), which are easy to find and replace anywhere in the world.

Why It Matters Red light preserves your natural night vision; green light provides high contrast for reading maps; blue light cuts through fog and highlights fluids. Having all these options built into one small, clip-on light makes this an incredibly versatile tool for just over $20.
