INFORCE lights are used by thousands of elite law enforcement and special operations personnel around the world. However, there are some naysayers online who claim that INFORCE products are poorly constructed and undeserving of their label as “tactical lights.” The issue is that those who complain are likely just a vocal minority who got unlucky with a dud product.
The fact of the matter is INFORCE lights go through brutal government tests to make sure they're tough, reliable, and built to last. In this article, we'll tackle some common gripes and set the record straight on how INFORCE lights are really built.
Issue # 1: They break very often
Before an INFORCE product leaves the factory, they are subjected to a battery of tests until they meet or exceed the US Department of Defense’s MIL-STD-810H testing requirements, making sure that it survives in extreme conditions throughout its life cycle. They are also put through laboratory and live fire testing to ensure they can handle heavy recoil as well as drops, bumps, and adversarial field conditions. This is why thousands of cops and Tier One operators trust INFORCE for dangerous missions.
Issue # 2: The battery drains even while the light is off
Anyone who claims that their battery drains while the light is off has received a defective product. Contrary to what some might claim, customers do not need to “break the circuit” on their lights by loosening the front cap to extend the battery life. In fact, the battery drainage problem was only a problem with some early production lights, and the issue has been resolved with current production models.
Issue # 3: Cannot be submerged
The newest generation of INFORCE WML lights, the Gen 3s, are required to exceed basic military water testing (MIL-STD-810H) by surviving a dunk in 66 feet (20 meters) of water. Considering that the maximum depth of a certified PADI Open Water Diver is 60 feet (18 meters), that's some serious waterproofing, tough enough for even the most hardcore underwater missions by SOCOM operators. No matter if you're dealing with a sudden downpour, a kayaking trip gone wrong, or needing a light during a dive, INFORCE lights can handle it. They're built to survive the elements and keep shining bright, even in the wettest conditions.
Issue # 4: Pressure pad lights are better
While pressure pads are adequate for certain situations, INFORCE WML lights win out in terms of ergonomics. The WML is wireless, so you don't need to worry about cords getting snagged or yanked loose in the heat of the moment. It’s also equipped with a non-slip actuator for speedy activation at the top or side of your rail. Despite its toolless installation, the WML attaches itself securely to any MIL-STD-1918 or Weaver rail, making it a stable and dependable light.
Don't let internet chatter cloud your judgement. INFORCE lights are battle-proven, trusted by law enforcement and special ops worldwide for a reason. They're tougher than nails, surviving brutal tests and real-world punishment. Plus, the WML series makes things user-friendly with a wireless design and easy mounting.
