5.11 Deploy TL-USB

Ideally shaped for all-day carry, the flat-bodied Deploy TL-USB from 5.11 Tactical is a highly rugged handheld light that comfortably slips into a pocket to be available when needed and can be recharged via any USB-C power cord when not in use.

Protected by a removable two-piece guard, the Deploy’s tail switch offers both momentary-on and constant-on functionality and cycles through three power levels— 1,000 lumens with a 70-minute runtime and a 100-yard throw distance, 500 lumens with a 120-minute runtime and a 65-yard throw and 80 lumens with a seven-hour runtime and a 25-yard throw.

A battery gauge button on the side of the housing also allows the user to check how much of the battery’s charge remains.

MSRP is $80. For more information, visit 511tactical.com.
