If you need a night-shattering light that can provide both a broad driving beam pattern and outstanding medium-distance illumination, look no further than the CG2 Multi-LED Light Cannon from Vision X.

These lights boast advanced heat-management technology to ensure maximum light output even under periods of constant use, while the weatherproof Deutsch connector keeps plugging along in even the worst weather (IP68/69K watertight housing). Plus, the locking steel-trunnion mount lets you easily adjust the beam up to 45° so the light goes right where you want it.

Each Light Cannon is potentially 25 in one when paired with Vision X snap-on polycarbonate covers, which can alter the beam pattern (spot to flood) and change the light color.

Features

  • Broad beam driving pattern and medium-distance coverage.
  • Advanced circuitry and aluminum heat sink.
  • Weatherproof Deutsch connector.
  • Aiming system provides 45 degrees of adjustment.
  • Iris-reflector optics with Cree LEDs.
  • Warranty: extended.
