The Nitecore CB6 Chameleon is a truly unique product that features two primary light sources (White and Blue) plus secondary red, green and blue LEDs.
Control of these output types is simple thanks to a cleverly designed dual side switch with independent white and colour buttons. The dual switch also includes a power indicator light to let you know when the batteries are low.
The primary white source is derived from a Cree XP-G2 with a maximum output of 440 lumens.
A separate 3 watt blue colour LED provides a bright blue beam with three power levels. Blue light can be used to identify blood trails, and is also used in the battlefield for medical treatment, also certain species of fish are attracted to blue light making it an ideal tool for fishing.
In addition to the two primary outputs there are secondary low level red, green and blue LED's. The CB6 also works well as a weapon mounted light with a spring loaded impact absorption mechanism and can be used with the Nitecore RSW1 remote pressure switch.
Powered by a single 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable battery (recommended for the best run-times) or two primary (non-rechargeable) CR123A cells.
Includes belt holster, wrist lanyard, titanium plated pocket clip, removable tactical grip ring and spare O-rings.
