Princeton Tec Ghost X MPLS – 300 Lumens – 940nm IR – Modular
The Princeton Tec Ghost X MPLS is a state-of-the-art lighting system, specifically designed for the most demanding professional scenarios. This Modular Personal Lighting System (MPLS) offers unparalleled operational flexibility through the integration of powerful white light, various tactical colors, and specialized infrared lighting. With the innovative 940nm IR frequency and the mechanical “Ghost Mode,” this flashlight guarantees maximum light discipline and stealth during night vision operations.
The Ghost X MPLS is engineered for tactical superiority and precision:
- White Light: Delivers a powerful output of 300 lumens with a range of 102 meters. Ideal for navigation and general lighting in complete darkness.
- 940nm Infrared (IR): Features a powerful IR mode at the 940-nanometer wavelength. This is significantly more discreet than the standard 850nm, making the light virtually invisible to the human eye and emitting minimal signature under night vision equipment.
- Tactical Colors: Equipped with Red, Green, and Blue LEDs. Red for preserving night vision, green for map reading, and blue for specific detection tasks. Each color is adjustable to different intensities and features a strobe function.
- Dual-Fuel Power: Supports both CR123A lithium batteries (for maximum performance and cold resistance) and widely available AA batteries (lithium or alkaline).
The controls are designed to eliminate errors in stressful situations:
- IR Ghost Mode: Flipping a physical switch on the side puts the light into Ghost Mode. In this mode, only the IR functions are accessible, preventing the accidental activation of visible white light.
- Stepless Dimming: In white and IR modes, the light intensity can be adjusted steplessly by holding down the button, allowing the user to precisely tailor the lighting to their needs.
- Lock-Out Mode: An electronic safety feature that prevents the lamp from turning on unintentionally during transport or storage.
- Programmable: The startup color (red, green, or blue) can be configured by the user via the programming mode.
The Ghost X MPLS integrates seamlessly with virtually any modern gear:
Included Mounts:
- ARC rail & over-the-rail helmet mount.
- MOLLE attachment for tactical vests and gear.
- Helmet mount (adhesive/screw).
- Elastic nylon headband for use as a standalone headlamp.
- Build quality: Weighing just 82 grams and featuring a fully dustproof and water-resistant construction meeting the IP68 standard, this light withstands the harshest operational conditions.
Light modes (on CR123 Lithium)
- White High: 300 lumens / 102 m / 1.7 hours
- White Low: 20 lumens / 27 m / 29 hours
- IR High: 320 mW / 2.5 hours
- IR Low: 10 mWr / 87 hours
- Red/Green/Blue: Various modes ranging from 3 to 9 lumens for specialized tasks.
To ensure reliable operation of your Ghost X MPLS, we recommend the following:
- Battery selection: For critical operations at low temperatures, we recommend using CR123A or AA lithium batteries to ensure a constant voltage output and maximum runtime.
- Switch Check: Before beginning a stealth operation, verify that the Ghost Mode switch is mechanically locked in the IR position.
- Cleaning: Keep the lenses free of dust and grease using a soft cloth to ensure light output and the integrity of the IR beam.
- Storage: Activate Lock-out mode (press and hold for 3 seconds) when storing the light in a bag or case to prevent accidental battery drain.
The Princeton Tec Ghost X MPLS is a technically robust and highly professional lighting tool that sets the standard for low-signature operations. The combination of 940nm IR technology, mechanical Ghost Mode, and extensive modular mounting options makes this system a superior choice for military personnel, police units, and serious tactical users. The objective verdict is that the Ghost X MPLS, backed by a 10-year warranty, is an extremely reliable and indispensable component of any modern tactical setup.
