Princeton Tec creates robust products for active service members, first responders, everyday heroes, and adventure seekers. Their products deliver durability and can withstand the harshest conditions. Their flashlights and headlamps not only endure the most rugged environments but also give confidence to individuals who venture fearlessly into territories few dare to explore.
THE CHARGE SERIES
One of Princeton Tec’s popular product lines is the Charge Lights. Charge X is the newest member to the series, and is a dual-fuel innovative take on the Princeton Tec favorite. The Charge series is designed for tactical, military, and outdoor applications, including hiking, camping, and emergencies. These lights are built to provide reliable illumination in various conditions. The Charge lights are designed to mount to multiple helmet rail systems, but have become more versatile including a wide variety of mounts that allow you to use the light on all of your gear:
- Standard Nylon Headstrap
- Helmet Side Mount
- ARCs
- EXFIL Rail
- MLOK
- MOLLE/PALS
- Picatinny
- Above the Rail
Charge lights are known for their rugged construction, featuring durable materials that withstand harsh conditions. They are water-resistant (IPX 7 or 8), ensuring functionality in wet environments. The Charge was designed with helmet rail mounting in mind, offering a lower-lumen light output for close-at-hand administrative tasks when in the field. The different Charge light versions offer multiple brightness levels and modes to suit different needs. This includes high-output settings for maximum illumination and lower settings for extended battery life.
The Charge X delivers a powerful 100 lumens, while the Charge Pro and Charge provide a bright 55 lumens. But in general, these 3 lights offer you a clean white flood light for distance spotting or large area lighting and a lower lumen light output for close-at-hand administrative tasks when in the field. Its flexi-neck design allows for accurate spot illumination, adapting to any task. The controls are straightforward, with easy-to-use buttons or switches that can be operated even with gloves on. This is crucial for tactical and outdoor use where quick adjustments may be needed.

The Charge X is a Dual-Fuel Multi-Color Helmet Light featuring a dimmable white light, along with red, green, blue, and IR LEDs and its programmability allows you to set and change the order in which the colored LEDs appear. Additionally, the Charge X operates on a dual battery platform, offering you the flexibility to choose between different battery types. The Charge X elevates durability and user-friendliness to new heights. It features an upgraded version of Princeton Tec’s signature flexible boom, allowing for easy and precise spot illumination that adapts to any task. Lastly, the Charge X’s compact design occupies minimal “rail estate,” leaving plenty of room for other essential rail attachments.
