FMA E-Lite Positional Marker — Tan/Green

The FMA E-Lite is a low-profile illuminated positional marker designed to identify personnel and equipment in low-visibility conditions. The silicone body measures approximately 100x30x10 mm and weighs 30 g, making it suitable for attachment to helmets, vests, packs and PALS webbing without restricting movement or interfering with parachute operations.

The flexible silicone serves two purposes at once: it conforms to curved surfaces such as a helmet shell, and it reduces pressure points that, on rigid housings, can cause injury during sudden movements or jumps. Attachment is by velcro, allowing the unit to be moved quickly from one platform to another without tools — unlike rigid clips, which require disassembly. The trade-off is that velcro offers less resistance to accidental snagging than a mechanical mount: in dense vegetation or close-contact situations, mounting position should be chosen carefully.

Rated battery life is 120 hours of continuous use from a single 3 V CR2032 cell, which is widely available and field-replaceable. Two operating modes — steady and flashing — allow visibility to be matched to the situation. The unit is water- and impact-resistant.

Key points

• Flexible silicone body at 30 g: mounts on curved surfaces without the rigidity that can cause injury during jumps or rapid movement.
• Universal velcro attachment: compatible with helmets, vests, clothing and PALS mounts, repositionable without tools.
• 120 hours of continuous runtime on a standard CR2032 cell, replaceable in the field in seconds.
• Two modes — steady and flashing — to manage visibility and power consumption according to the situation.
• Water- and impact-resistant for use in demanding environmental conditions.
