Why Choose the PowerTac M5 Gen3?
The M5 Gen3 occupies the useful middle ground between a compact EDC light and a full-sized operational torch. It delivers strong distance and scene illumination while remaining practical to carry throughout a complete shift.
A rear tail switch provides fast momentary or constant activation, while the side switch controls the output modes. This separation keeps operation direct and predictable when light is needed quickly.
Key Features
330-metre beam distance
A focused beam provides useful reach without requiring an oversized torch body.
Dual-switch control
Tail-switch activation is supported by a separate side switch for changing between the six available output modes.
Magnetic USB charging
Recharge the installed 18650 battery without removing it from the torch. A braided magnetic charging cable is included.
Emergency battery flexibility
The M5 Gen3 can also operate from two CR123A batteries when required. Output is limited to 260 lumens when using CR123A cells.
Built for repeated field use
Aircraft-grade aluminium construction, a Type III anodised finish, IPX8 water protection and tested two-metre impact resistance.
