Description
PTec MPLS Nav Light (Black)
The PTec MPLS Nav Light is a compact helmet and navigation light in the style of the MPLS (Modular Personal Lighting System) lights used on military helmets, finished in black to match most helmets and kit. Lights of this type clip to a helmet or load-bearing kit and give you a small, controlled beam for reading maps, checking kit and moving around in the dark.
An MPLS-style light is one of the most common items seen on modern helmets, so as well as being practical it adds a realistic detail to a special forces or milsim loadout. It suits night game players, weekend event players and anyone building a modern helmet set-up.
Using it
Fit the light to the side of your helmet or to your vest, where it will not block your goggles or headset. Use it sparingly during games, keeping the beam pointed down, as any light at night draws attention. It is ideal for reading a map, checking a watch, finding the right pouch and getting around camp.
Check the product images for the mounting clip or adapter, the switch and any light colours on this version, and check the battery type before your first game.
On your helmet
MPLS-style lights are often mounted on the side rails of FAST-style helmets, using an adapter where needed. Set up your light, headset and any NVG mount before game day so everything sits comfortably together.

Compatibility
Check the mounting method in the product images against your helmet or kit; some helmets need a rail adapter. Check the battery type before your first use.
Care and maintenance
Remove the battery if you will not use the light for a while, as old batteries can leak and damage the contacts. Keep the lens clean with a soft, dry cloth, and wipe off mud and moisture after use, letting the unit dry before you store it.
Check the mount and any screws before each game, as knocks and movement can loosen them, and store the light somewhere it will not be crushed in your kit bag.
Who is it for?
This light suits players with black or dark helmets who want a practical nav light and a realistic MPLS-style detail.
Please note: Helmet, adapters and batteries are not included unless shown in the product images. Never shine a light directly into another player’s eyes.
