With an estimated 800,000 full-time law enforcement officers employed in the United States, according to the most recent survey by the U.S. Department of Justice, these officers usually carry non-lethal weapons such as a flashlight, baton, and pepper spray. It is crucial that these brave law enforcement officers are equipped with the best and most advanced tactical products available. Brite-Strike Technologies, Inc. is a relatively new tactical weaponry company developing advanced self-protection products for not only police officers, but government agencies, the military, and citizens.
Brite-Strike’s Tactical Blue Dot Series incorporates all the feature that a patrol officer needs to fulfill his/her needs. Based on Phillip’s LUXEON technology, the Tactical Blue Dot Series generates 10 to 15 times more lumens (a measurement of light) compared to the standard household flashlight. Designed as a flashlight initially, the Blue Dot Series has the ability to temporarily blind or disorient a subject, which gives the officer a much needed element of safety. The light can also be dropped to a low setting and used as a flashlight to provide a flood effect.
The company also sells Brite-Strike Tactical Balls® RID, which are 1.38 inch, high-impact plastic balls that provide rolling illumination from two white LED’s. These economical, reusable and user-friendly balls are sold in packs of three starting at $40.00 and serve their primary purpose as a distraction device, since they are designed to stop with the light side up when tossed into a room. Compared to flash-bangs or smoke grenades, Brite-Strike’s Tactical Balls® carry virtually zero liability and are environmentally friendly.
All branches of the United States Armed Forces, the FBI, DEA, and other government agencies around the world are current users of the company’s product line. The array of products offered by Brite-Strike gives various agencies the ability to improve on their tactical weapons and gives them multiple options for future needs. There is also a growing interest in Europe and Japan, where firearms are less pervasive compared to non-lethal weapons, which are in widespread use.
