Why it's on GiftsFeed

5000-lumen flashlight with programmable switches and three beam patterns

Most tactical lights force you to cycle through every mode to reach the one you need, which wastes seconds and gives away your position. The P27iX lets you assign outputs to individual switch actions—half-press, full-press, side button—so you go straight to strobe, flood, or spotlight without stepping through a sequence. That programmability matters when you're under time pressure or working one-handed, and the three beam patterns mean you're not stuck with a single throw distance regardless of the job. If you're moving between tasks that need different light shapes or you've ever fumbled through modes in the dark, the control customization here solves the problem standard momentary switches create.

Good gift when

  • Anyone who needs instant access to specific outputs without cycling through modes
  • People working in low-light environments where beam width changes by the task
  • Users who carry a flashlight daily and want programmable control under pressure
  • Those who switch between close-range and long-distance lighting often

Skip it if The battery is proprietary to this model, so you cannot swap in standard cells you already own or find replacements from other brands.

The details

The P27iX replaces mode-cycling with programmable control. Assign specific brightness levels or special functions to each switch action—half-press on the tail, full-press on the tail, or the side button—so you reach the output you need without stepping through a sequence. Choose strobe, search, or flood modes and map them to the inputs that make sense for how you work.

Three beam patterns switch on demand. Spotlight concentrates the full 5000 lumens into a narrow throw that reaches 470 yards. Floodlight spreads the output wide for close-range coverage. Mixed beam balances both for general use. A dial on the head selects the pattern; no tools required.

Dual tail switches and a side SET button give you three independent control points. Program each press type to trigger a different output, then lock or unlock the switches depending on whether you're carrying the light or using it. Rapid Lock prevents accidental activation when the light is stowed.

The included 5500mAh lithium-ion cell recharges through an 18W USB-C port built into the body. Runtime varies by output level and beam pattern. The housing is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, rated IP68 for submersion, and tested for impact resistance.

You can hold it in a tactical grip—thumb on the tail switch, light alongside the forearm—or in a duty grip with the light inverted and the side button under your thumb. Both styles give you programmable access without repositioning your hand.

The light measures approximately 6.5 inches long and weighs around 7.4 ounces with the battery installed. A pocket clip, lanyard, and holster come in the box. The battery is proprietary to this model and ships with the light.

Questions

Can I use standard batteries in this light?
No. The P27iX requires the NL2155HPi battery that ships with it. You cannot substitute standard lithium-ion cells from other manufacturers.
How do I assign outputs to the switches?
Use the side SET button to enter programming mode, then follow the included instructions to map specific brightness levels or functions to half-press and full-press actions on each switch.
What is the difference between the three beam patterns?
Spotlight concentrates the output into a narrow beam for maximum throw distance. Floodlight spreads the light wide for close-range tasks. Mixed beam balances both for general use. You rotate a dial on the head to switch between them.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
Runtime depends on the output level and beam pattern you select. Higher lumens and spotlight mode drain the battery faster than lower settings and floodlight mode.
Is this light submersible?
Yes. The IP68 rating means it can withstand submersion in water. Depth and duration limits are determined by the IP68 standard.
What does Rapid Lock do?
Rapid Lock disables the switches to prevent the light from turning on accidentally while it is being carried or stored. You unlock it when you are ready to use the light.
