Description
Specification

Compact torch, serious output

The 5.11 Rapid PL 2AA is a compact everyday carry flashlight that punches well above its size. Powered by two easy to source AA batteries, it delivers 362 lumens from a Cree XP-G3 LED and throws a focused beam out to around 105 metres, plenty for searching, marshalling and outdoor navigation.

Three modes for every task

A tail switch cycles through high, low and strobe modes. High gives full brightness and distance, low stretches runtime for close work, and strobe offers a disorienting flash for signalling or self defence. Drop in 14500 rechargeable lithium cells and output climbs to roughly 547 lumens.

Built to take a beating

The body is machined from aerospace grade aluminium and rated IP68, so it is dustproof and submersible to 2 metres. It is drop tested to 1 metre, and a crenelated strike bezel adds a practical edge, making it a genuinely rugged tool for duty and the outdoors.

Everyday carry ready

An anti-roll, bi-directional pocket clip keeps the torch steady on a surface and secure in a pocket or on a cap brim. Ideal for duty, camping, airsoft and home use, it sits alongside the rest of our tactical gear range.

Frequently asked questions

How bright is the Rapid PL 2AA?

It produces 362 lumens on high using two AA batteries, throwing a usable beam out to around 105 metres. Fitting 14500 rechargeable lithium cells raises output further to roughly 547 lumens for even more punch.

Is this torch waterproof?

Yes. It carries an IP68 rating, meaning it is dustproof and submersible to 2 metres, so rain, spray and accidental dunking are no problem. It is also drop tested to 1 metre for everyday knocks.

What batteries does it use?

It runs on two standard AA batteries, which are easy to find anywhere. It is also compatible with 14500 rechargeable lithium ion cells if you want higher output and running costs down over time.

What are the different modes for?

High gives maximum brightness for searching and distance, low conserves battery for close work and extended runtime, and strobe provides a disorienting flash for self defence or signalling. You cycle modes from the tail switch.

Is it tough enough for duty and outdoor use?

Yes. The aerospace grade aluminium body, crenelated strike bezel and 1m drop rating make it a rugged everyday carry for duty, camping, airsoft marshalling and general outdoor use.
