Nextorch TA30C

The TA30C from Nextorch is a compact tactical flashlight that features multiple brightness settings, activation methods and battery options.

A rotating collar in the tail cap allows the user to choose between three constant-on brightness levels (20/330/1,600 lumens), a strobe setting and what the company calls “TAC” mode. In this mode, a light press of the pressure-sensitive button at the end of the tail cap provides 1,600 lumens of momentary illumination, while fully depressing the button activates the strobe.

The TA30C comes with one rechargeable 18650 battery, but it can also be powered by two CR123As. Three nano-ceramic beads incorporated into its bezel allow the light to be used as a window breaker.

MSRP is $99. For more information, visit nextorch.com.
