Nextorch TA21 Flashlight

Nextorch North America has recently unveiled the new TA21 Pocket Carry Tactical Flashlight, a small flashlight that measures less than 4 inches, but backs a 1,300-lumen beam of white light with a 160-meter reach.

This new Nextorch product is built similarly to the company’s TA20 Tactical Flashlight, with a hardened striking bezel and a IPX8 dust/waterproof rating to ensure this compact flashlight will hold up to hard use. For fuel, Nextorch is designed to run off USB-C rechargeable 16340 batteries. Alternatively, the Nextorch 21 Pocket Carry Tactical Flashlight can use CR123A batteries, which are common in the world of tactical lighting equipment. This compact, pocket-size, tactical light is designed to perform other tasks beyond tactical illumination. For example, the TA21 Pocket Carry Tactical Flashlight can also throw a gentler, 150-lumen red beam of light which is useful when reading documents in low light and other administrative tasks while preserving the human eye’s natural night vision.

Each Nextorch TA21 Pocket Carry Tactical Flashlight ships with the Nextorch FR-1 Tactical light ring which is designed to optimize flashlight retention and alternative flashlight deployment or other light related manipulation techniques.
