Other Lights
Not every light fits neatly into a flashlight, headlamp, or weapon-light category — this is where those specialty lights live. Impact Guns carries bore lights for checking a barrel's condition, IR marker lights for team identification under night vision, and flexible magnetic work lights that bend and stick wherever you need them, from Real Avid, Unity Tactical, and Striker.

Bore Lights: Checking Your Barrel Without a Range Trip
A bore light like the Real Avid/Revo Magnetic Bore Light drops down the barrel and lights it from the inside, letting you check for fouling, obstructions, or rifling condition without needing a range or good exterior lighting — useful during cleaning or before storage.
IR Marker Lights: Identification Under Night Vision
The Unity Tactical SPARK is an infrared marker light, not a visible-light device — it's invisible to the naked eye but shows up clearly through night vision, letting team members identify each other without any visible signature.
Flexible and Magnetic Work Lights
The Striker Flexit 2.0 combines a bendable, magnetic body with a standard flashlight beam, so it can clip, wrap, or stick to a surface and stay put hands-free — useful for gun bench work, vehicle repairs, or any task where a handheld light would be awkward to hold.
When a Specialty Light Beats a Standard Flashlight
A standard flashlight is the right call when you need a focused beam pointed somewhere specific. These specialty lights solve narrower problems: seeing inside a barrel, identifying a teammate under night vision, or lighting a workspace without holding anything — pick based on the specific problem, not just brightness.
Battery Types Across This Category
Check each listing's battery requirement individually — this category spans button-cell bore lights, standard AA-powered work lights, and rechargeable options, with no single battery type common across all of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bore light used for? It illuminates the inside of a barrel from within, letting you inspect for fouling, obstructions, or rifling wear during cleaning or storage checks without needing external light.
Is the Unity Tactical SPARK visible without night vision? No — it's an infrared marker light, invisible to the naked eye. You need a night vision device to see it, which is the point: it identifies you to teammates without a visible signature.
Can the Striker Flexit be used as a normal flashlight? Yes — it works as a standard handheld flashlight, but its bendable, magnetic body also lets it wrap around objects or stick to metal surfaces for hands-free use.
