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.
