Nitecore CR6 Chameleon LED Torch

The Nitecore CR6 Chameleon is capable of multiple coloured outputs, with a primary maximum output of 440 lumens white light and 120 red light, as well as three secondary coloured outputs of red, green and blue.

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 red colour LED provides a bright red beam with three power levels. Red light does not degrade night vision as white light does opening up a multitude of applications without the need for filters.

In addition to the two primary outputs there are secondary low level red, green and blue LED's. The CR6 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.
