Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products, Inc. (BSTI.PK) is pleased to announce that the German US Coast Guard, DEA, and SWAT teams have committed to utilizing Brite-Strike’s Tactical Balls, a tactical illumination product designed for use by law enforcement officers. The Tactical Balls are currently being used by the U.S. Coast Guard, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), local U.S. SWAT teams, and law enforcement personnel.
The Tactical Balls are 1 ½ inch diameter spheres with two white LEDs (>13,000 MCD) that each use two CR2032 batteries. Each ball is easily activated by a push-button switch and, when tossed into a room, is designed to stop with the light facing upward. The ball generates a strobe-like light that distracts and disorients an assailant, which provides law enforcement personnel with extra time to either draw a weapon or subdue a subject.
“Sometimes, seconds mark the difference between subduing a dangerous individual and being caught at a tactical disadvantage,” stated Glenn Bushee, President of Brite-Strike. “The light and movement of the tactical balls automatically draw a person’s attention, buying seconds of time that give law enforcement officers an advantage that literally can determine the outcome of any confrontation or standoff. Many agencies have banned the use of the highly incendiary flash-bangs, and there are times they are just not safe to use, such as an entry to a Meth Lab or on a gas powered vessel.”
The Tactical Balls come in a package containing three balls, six batteries, and a tactical deployment pouch. Brite-Strike designs its products with durability in mind, which allows law enforcement personnel to use the Tactical Balls over and over again with a maximum runtime of 20 hours. Each 3-pack can be purchased for $40, which makes the Tactical Balls an affordable training tool.
“Our goal is to put the absolute best, most technologically advanced, and most effective equipment into the hands of law enforcement personnel,” commented Bushee. “Any time we can equip officers or agents with a tool that will both keep them safe and help them accomplish their mission, we have succeeded.”
