What's new about the TA30C?
The most important feature of the new TA30C has been retained: the uncompromisingly simple and stress-safe operating concept with the patented ring switch and the instant light that only lights up as long as it is held down.
The instant strobe flash with increased thumb pressure has also remained. For the continuous light function, the NEXTORCH TA30C has the ring switch, which allows you to easily dim this lamp, for example, to use it as a reading light when checking documents.
Instead of 1,300 ANSI lumens, real, tested 1,600 ANSI lumens are now available. The running time in the highest light level is an impressive 2.5 hours. Dimmed to the lowest level, you can even get 50 hours of light on one battery charge.
The included 18650 battery now has a USB-C charging port, so charging is even faster and you don't need a special charger, a cell phone charger, a power bank or the USB port in the car are enough.
An LED built into the battery informs you when the battery is fully charged. If there is no way to charge the TA30C battery, two CR123 batteries can easily be used.
As a further innovation, a battery status display was added to the TA30C at the special request of many special units. Once again typical NEXTORCH: the development of this function took place exclusively in practice. When the ring switch of the new NEXTORCH TA30C is operated, a very faint blue ring in the rear switch provides reliable information about the battery status. The faint blue glow only glows briefly after the ring switch is pressed.
The glass breakers on the front of the lens crown of the TA30, which are often copied by many flashlight manufacturers, have also remained, but here too a change was made to meet the requirements of the emergency services: instead of high-gloss polished stainless steel, which can lead to unwanted reflections and thus inform the other side , the lens crown of the TA30C is now made of high-strength, gray titanium and has a permanently matt finish. A sensible and valuable improvement.
The stroboscope function has also been slightly optimized. Instead of just flashing at one frequency, the TA30C changes the flash frequency while it is activated. As many experiments impressively prove, the desired effect of disorientation in the other person is greatly increased by the changing flash frequency. This condition occurs almost instantly in attackers, as the rapid succession of light and dark overwhelms the human brain. This is particularly true for perpetrators who are under the influence of BTM and/or alcohol, as numerous operational reports show.
