Princeton Tec Byte Tactical Overview

Whether you're a first-responder on a pre-dawn run, a police officer on a late night traffic stop, or just preparing dinner in camp—the tan Princeton Tec Byte Tactical LED Headlamp lets you see what you're doing and it's so small and lightweight you'll barely know you're wearing it.

Its primary Maxbright LED outputs a low of 50 lumens and a high of 100. This Tactical version of the Byte gets an output upgrade from the standard models with the addition of a secondary low output from the red LED. A single push-button switch turns the light on and off and cycles through the two white and two red options. A lockout function makes sure you don't accidentally turn the light on. Its lightweight plastic housing is IPX4-rated to protect it against light rain or splashing water. The Byte Tactical comes in all tan, and you get two AAA alkaline batteries to get you going right out of the box.

  • One primary Maxbright LED outputs low 50-lumen and high 100-lumen spotlight that is optimized for a long throw

  • Light head swivels up and down to adjust the light angle for precise beam placement
Switching

Princeton Tec Byte Tactical Reviews

Works Great, Batteries Were DOA

By Richard
Rated 5 out of 5

This Headlamp Is Smaller, Lighter And Brighter Than The Old Princeton-Tec Matrix 2 It Replaces. The Included Batteries Were DOA So I Installed Some AAA Eneloops And It Works Great!
