FMA E-Lite Position Light — Tan/Red

The FMA E-Lite is an ultra-low-profile tactical position light designed to be worn on a helmet, vest, or clothing by operators who need to mark their position without bulk or restricted movement. The flexible silicone body measures approximately 10x3x1 cm and weighs 30 g, making it virtually unnoticeable on the kit until it's needed.

The curved silicone profile is not just an aesthetic choice: it conforms to the convex surfaces of a MICH or ACH helmet without creating hard edges that could snag on ropes, vegetation, or structures during operations at height or in confined spaces. The same characteristic makes the light safer in activities where physical contact is a risk, where rigid markers can become pressure points. Impact and water resistance make it suitable for operational use, not just training.

The E-Lite operates in two modes — steady and strobe — and runs on a single 3 V CR2032 battery with a rated runtime of 120 hours on steady output: a figure that reduces dependence on battery logistics in the field. The key consideration is the attachment: velcro or PALS mounting is fast and flexible, but offers less security against accidental pull-off than a rigid clip. Anyone operating in dense vegetation or close-contact situations should check the attachment before each outing. This Tan/Red configuration emits red light.

Key features

• Flexible silicone body: conforms to curved surfaces without hard edges, reducing the risk of accidental snagging.
• Runtime of 120 hours on a single CR2032, reducing the need for battery changes during extended operations.
• Two operating modes — steady and strobe — to match signalling to the situation.
• Compatible with velcro and PALS: mounts on helmets, vests, packs, and clothing without modification.
• Impact and water resistant, suited for use in adverse weather conditions.
• Weighs 30 g with a compact footprint: does not affect the balance or ergonomics of the kit.
