A professional flashlight for long guns is one of the most important pieces of equipment for modern military operators and special forces officers. The ability to identify a target in conditions of limited visibility often determines the success of a mission and the safety of the entire team. EU Shields offers advanced Olight tactical lighting systems that combine innovative technology with the durability required on the battlefield.

The power of light in the Olight Odin model

The flagship product in our range is the Olight Odin model, which has been designed for the most demanding tactical tasks. This device generates an impressive light output of 2000 lumens, allowing for an effective range of up to 300 meters. These parameters allow the operator not only to illuminate, but also to temporarily blind the opponent, gaining valuable seconds to react.

The Odin’s design is integrated with a reliable Picatinny mount, which guarantees stability even during intensive use. The entire set, including the battery, weighs only 216 grams, so it does not overload the front of the rifle and does not adversely affect its balance. A robust flashlight for long guns must be shock and weather resistant, and the Odin series meets these stringent requirements.

Compact solutions for special tasks

For users looking for lighter solutions, the Olight Odin Mini model is the ideal choice. Despite its smaller size, this device still offers a powerful 1250 lumens and an effective range of up to 240 meters. It is an excellent alternative for operators working in confined spaces, where every centimeter and gram of equipment is crucial.

This model weighs only 176 grams with the battery, making it almost imperceptible on the mounting rail. This makes weapon maneuvering faster and more precise, which is invaluable during dynamic room entries. By choosing this model, you can be sure that your long gun flashlight will not slow you down at a critical moment.

Precision thanks to laser sights

The modern battlefield requires the integration of various systems, which is why our catalog also includes the Odin GL series equipped with laser sights. The Olight Odin GL model with a laser sight offers 1,500 lumens of power and a range of 215 meters, combining lighting with a precise aiming point. This hybrid solution allows you to quickly target your target without having to remove mechanical devices.

The Olight Odin GL M variant is also available, which, with a similar weight of 224 grams, offers similar lighting and laser parameters. The integration of two devices in one housing saves space on the mounting rail and simplifies equipment operation. Such an advanced flashlight for long guns significantly increases fire efficiency in combat stress conditions.

Maximum range with the Javelot series

For activities in open terrain, where distance plays a key role, we recommend the Olight Javelot Tac model with Picatinny mount. Despite its compact size, this specialized flashlight offers an impressive effective range of up to 600 meters with a power of 1000 lumens. The focused beam of light allows you to identify targets far beyond the range of standard tactical lighting.

The total weight of the set, including the mount and battery, is 181 grams, which is an excellent result in this class of equipment. This allows a sniper or observer to effectively observe the terrain without having to use heavy equipment. A high-end flashlight for long guns with such a range is invaluable support during night patrols and defensive operations.

Switch systems and accessories

The key to effective use of weapon lighting is ergonomics and ease of use, which are ensured by dedicated accessories. All of the Olight models listed come with professional gel switches that allow you to turn on the light without taking your hand off the weapon grip. This system allows you to maintain full control of the rifle in any situation.

The set also includes sturdy mounts that hold the device securely on the rail even with strong recoil. Thanks to its modular design, the long gun flashlight can be quickly removed and used as a handheld light source if necessary. The availability of spare parts and compatibility with various mounting systems are features that distinguish professional equipment.

Helmet lighting as support

The weapon-mounted lighting is complemented by advanced helmet flashlights that provide light where the operator’s gaze is directed. Our offer includes a Helmet Flashlight weighing only 50 grams, offering white, red, green, and IR infrared light modes. The 940 nm wavelength IR mode is crucial when working with night vision and IFF systems.

This type of lighting is ideal for manual work, providing medical assistance, or reading maps, saving battery power in the main weapon lighting. Having a backup light source on your helmet is standard safety procedure. Even the best flashlight for long guns should be supported by an independent personal lighting system.
