What is modulus tactical light?
It is a tactical light for nerves released in 2016.
Although it is a nerf that plays in a bright place, there are items that can be played at night, such as night darts , blasters with flashlight modes like deploy , and night vision devices .
However, “ordinary lighting” was not surprising, and except for OEM products, this tactical light is the first nerf.
Package is simple
This is the package. Since it is from the TAKARATOMY era, it may be a different design now.
Although it is dedicated to the Modulus series, it can of course be mounted on other series such as other zombie strikes.
Is the body a unique shape?
Instead of the usual flashlight type, it has a strange shape with orange square parts popping out. Like a stick light.The screwed part is the battery cover.
Uses 3 AAA batteries.
This is the first ordinary flashlight unit using white LEDs in Nerf.
Only a switch on the side.
There is nothing on the other side.
The back is a mounting part to the accessory rail. Of course, any nerf rail can be installed.
The orange part contains a lens plate and seems to be responsible for adjusting the optical axis of the LED. The light leaks lightly, so visibility is improved in dark places.
About size
A small accessory in the nerf. Since the total length is about 13cm, it does not get in the way.
Weight is 90g including battery. It is heavy enough to be used as a flashlight.
An example on fire strike. The good thing about this tactical light is that it is small enough to be unobtrusive even for small nerfs.
It is also an article for zombie countermeasures, but it is easy to attach to the side rail like this. Since it is thin, it does not interfere with handling.
Operation method etc.
It’s not an operation method, just turn on the slide switch.
Is it a bit deeper to prevent malfunctions? The so-called tactical light is not standard waterproof, so be careful of getting wet.
As will be described later, it was lit for about 15 hours. Thanks to that, it was very helpful.

As emergency tool
2018. The Japanese archipelago is a year of various disasters.
My home was not an exception, and Typhoon No. 21 suffered damage from roof damage and a regional blackout.
Power outage for about one week. Signals and street lights do not work and it is dark at night. Of course, neither lighting nor TV can be used, and even smartphones should do what to do when the battery runs out … This tactical light helped me a lot.
冗談でもなんでもなく停電時に助けられたのはこのNERFのライトでした。懐中電灯は電池が腐ってたり暗闇の中で探せず。単4電池ですが約16時間ほど頑張ってくれました。#停電 #台風 pic.twitter.com/c4XPBAYvEK

I happened to buy several for the nerf and had a battery. Above all, I was able to use it immediately because I knew where to place it. Otherwise, at that time, the evening was falling, and power cuts and shutters had to be closed, and it was necessary to search for emergency supplies and lighting in a dark room and closet.
With regard to recovery and life after the typhoon, we could easily expect a prolonged power outage due to the collapse of the utility pole, so this tactical light with a long lighting time was particularly encouraging.
Although it wasn’t a new battery, I remember that I could use it for about 15 to 16 hours, including leaving it at bedtime (about 10 hours).
It is easy for children to hold, and the side is bright, so I gave it as “for myself”. I think it was anxious in the dark, but it seems to be a little softened.
As a nerf accessory
Although it deviated a little from the main line, it can be used normally as lighting.
Speaking of conventional nerf lights, the lights were red LEDs and very dark and unreliable.
But this tactical light is a lot stronger than the nerf lights. If you look directly, you will be dazzled. It is a level that can be used in the dark enough.
An example of irradiation in a dark place. It’s pale and this is a color like a white LED. As mentioned above, the amount of light is modest, so you can only see the illuminated place in the dark. Like ordinary tactical lights, the whole room is not brightened by reflected light.
However, the orange area will also be brighter, so the surroundings will be brighter than the photo.
how to get
As of 2019, the price is already rising because it is out of print.
However, since you can see quite a lot in the second-hand market, if you check the flea market app etc., you may get it unexpectedly cheaply.
comment
I am glad that the light comes out of the camera.
It is a place to be honestly pleased that it is no longer necessary to make parts with a 3D printer that has been used so far, or to tie a flashlight with a tie wrap.
It ’s the perfect brightness for a special unit indoors at night, and the battery lasts longer than the amount of light.There is also a robustness that won’t break even if children handle it roughly.
More than anything else, it is a “hobby that I usually use”, so I immediately think of its existence and location. In the event of a disaster, this “hobby” may help you unexpectedly.
As an aside, the typhoon in 2019 is also equipped with this tactical light.

色や形が目立つのと、あと意外と電池が長持ちなので助かります。 pic.twitter.com/YLuKfjQRNO— ナーフマーケット (@KdwkVayashis11) August 14, 2019
