Overview
Switching between white, red, blue, green and infrared without cycling through every mode is the point of the Princeton Tec Vizz Tactical, whose color order can be programmed. Regulated output holds brightness steady as batteries drain.
Mode flexibility is the reason to buy it: specialty colors and IR in a sealed, submersible headlamp. Standard AAA batteries are easy to find in the field. There is no built-in rechargeable battery.
Who it's for
Tactical users, hunters and night workers who need low-signature colors get a waterproof, programmable light. Casual campers may find the modes more than they need.
Pros and cons
- Programmable color and IR modes
- Waterproof IPX7 housing
- Regulated, steady output
- Long runtime on AAA batteries
- No built-in recharging
- IR use needs compatible optics
- Alkaline batteries add ongoing replacements
Performance notes
Regulation holds output stable across battery life instead of fading. Colored LEDs preserve night vision and reduce visibility, and IR suits night vision setups. The sealed housing governs water resistance down to its rated depth.
