PLX Luxor 2

Some flashlights are only good at throwing a beam across long distances, while others are mainly suited for close-up work. The Luxor 2 by PLX Devices is versatile enough to be your go-to full-sized flashlight for almost any situation. Its unique adaptive focus feature senses how you’re holding the light and appropriately adjusts the focus of the beam for the task at hand. Whereas other lights only illuminate a small area in front of you, the Luxor 2 can widen its beam to help you better see your peripheral field of view as well. It even features an intelligent OLED display that lets you know exactly how much of its built-in, micro USB rechargeable battery is left so you don’t unexpectedly get caught in the dark. With its waterproof, dustproof, and drop-resistant construction, it’s ready for your toughest tasks. Make sure there's room in your bag for this cutting edge monster of a light and grab it on Kickstarter at the link below.

Chris Lunsford ·
5.11 has a PLx line that's been around for years, is this a collaboration or something or did they just coincidentally use the same name for their kickstarter?
Bernard Capulong ·
Oh, this light is from a different Cali based company, PLX Devices. 5.11's PLx I think is just a designation for "pen light"
Chris Lunsford ·
Yeah I have one of 5.11's older model ATAC PLx pen lights from like five years ago or so its solid and at 90 lumens with aircraft grade aluminum and a $30 pricepoint its a great value.
