PRINCETON TEC brings us the Ghost X, a new full-spectrum tactical headlamp, available mid-March. Ghost X was engineered with a clear goal: to deliver a powerful range of tactical lighting features in a streamlined design that balances performance, control, and durability. The headlamp provides up to 300 lumens of white light, along with red, green, and blue LEDs for low-signature tasks. For covert operations, Ghost X delivers 940 nm infrared output with adjustable power from 70 to 320 milliwatts.

For enhanced light discipline, Ghost X includes a dedicated "Ghost Mode" mechanical switch. When activated, all visible light is blocked, and the light operates only in IR. The switch also functions as a kill switch, instantly shutting off all illumination to prevent accidental light exposure.

Ghost X will be offered as both a standalone headlamp and an MPLS configuration. The MPLS version including mounting hardware for helmet, NVG, and MOLLE integration. This modular system allows Ghost X to integrate seamlessly into helmet-mounted or kit-based setups while maintaining fast, secure attachment.
