#brite strike

 Mail call .

A package recently sent to me by the good folks at survival depot  containing the very interesting looking spool tool for paracord ,  a stash tin with clear lid big container  of Baddest bee fire fuses , Brite -Strike APALS strobe marker , micro brass sere compass, gitd caribiner and a large tek -lock from Blade tech .

Prototype .

This is my take on an idea I had ,if its already been done before elsewhere then my apologies in advance .

A hybrid meld of two great technologies Cyalume Cyflect  glint and glow tape and a Brite-Strike APALS.

This is just a test version so its not pretty but the adhesive backed Cyflect is stuck on the front of the APALS with a small hole to view the x2 mode Strobe or full on red LED .

 Access to the control pressure switch isn't affected by the Cyflect which adds a great bright white reflected glint when hit with directional light and gives a noticeable green glow in total darkness.

Ive added a strip of Mil-spec hook tape to the back of the APALS  so that it can fit direct to any loop Velcro panels  on jackets , packs , pouches or vests .

And I have also made up a separate platform made from loop tape and 1 inch Mil-spec webbing that allows the marker to be worn either as a neck lanyard on 550 cord or as a wrist band when doubling up the cord and adding a ITW Nexus toaster cord lock which helps to cinch it down to most wrist sizes .
