The EB1 Backup—an upgraded version of the original E1B Backup—is an extremely compact yet powerful dual-output flashlight designed as a backup light for patrol officers or a primary duty light for plainclothes officers. It’s also ideal for outdoor, self-defense, and everyday-carry applications. The Backup features a virtually indestructible LED emitter and a precision Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens that create a focused, far-reaching beam optimized for situational awareness. To activate, press or click the pushbutton tailcap switch once for the tactical-level 200-lumen high beam that can reach deep into the night, light up the far side of a darkened building, or overwhelm an aggressor’s dark-adapted vision. Return to off and press or click again within two seconds to activate the 5-lumen low beam that can run at this level for up to 40 hours, a valuable feature for outdoor or emergency situations. A tough yet lightweight Mil-Spec hard-anodized aluminum body protects the Backup’s sophisticated electronics from the elements, and its smooth contours minimize clothing snag and pressure points. A two-way pocket clip allows head-up or head-down carry and can be used to secure the Backup to a cap brim for hands-free use. Available in black, silver, or tan.
