The U.S. subsidiary of FN Herstal S.A. of Belgium is producing
six-volt, all weather xenon flashlights that crank out 150 peak lumens.
They are powered by lithium CR123 three-volt batteries.
The flashlights are aimed at the law enforcement, military and
sportsman markets.
FNH USA of McLean, Va., is offering two models--the Viper X-11 and
the Striker 6--which are made from aircraft grade aluminum and steel bar
stock. The rugged torches come with a heavy duty belt clip and lanyard
bores among other features, says a company spokesman.
