NITE IZE BugLit Torch — Coyote Black

The BugLit is a compact micro torch from NITE IZE featuring two flexible Gear Tie-style legs and an integrated S-Biner carabiner: it weighs almost nothing, mounts anywhere, and delivers four lighting modes via a high-visibility white LED producing 6 lumens with an effective range of 15 metres. It is designed for anyone who needs a light source that is always on hand and able to adapt to different surfaces and situations without adding bulk.

The two flexible plastic legs can be bent, wrapped or twisted around branches, frames, cordage or pieces of kit, directing the beam precisely even when your hands are occupied. Folded back against the body of the torch, they further reduce its packed size. This approach offers considerable versatility, but it does mean that beam placement depends on the user's ability to shape the legs: it is not a quick-detach system like a rigid clip mount.

Battery life reaches 10 hours on high mode and 22 hours on low mode, powered by two 3 V CR2016 coin cells that are easy to source and replace in the field. The plastic S-Biner carabiner lets you clip the BugLit to a zip pull, a MOLLE loop or a keyring, keeping it accessible without taking up pocket space.

Key points

• The Gear Tie legs adapt to virtually any surface and aim the beam without needing a tripod or dedicated mount.
• The 4 modes (high, low, and two additional functions) let you match power draw to the situation, extending runtime up to 22 hours.
• A range of 15 metres in such a compact body makes it useful as a work light, signal light or camp light.
• The integrated S-Biner carabiner provides fast attachment to kit without extra accessories.
• CR2016 batteries are a standard size replaceable anywhere in the field: no proprietary cells to track down.
