Product Description
THE GLADIUS is quite possibly the most innovative handheld tactical illumination tool to arrive on the scene. This is a 6 volt, lithium battery powered, high-output LED, highly water resistant, aluminum bodied, illumination tool designed primarily for handheld use, but robust enough for weapon mounted applications. The Gladius is designed from the ground up to be immersed into the realities of close quarter conflict and should significantly enhance the capabilities of those operating in low light environments. It features an excellent center of gravity and the end user will appreciate the well-placed anti-roll/retention flares. At the heart of this fighting tool is a robust electronics package that can only be described as REVOLUTIONARY. The light features a patent pending multifunction tailcap that allows the operator to quickly select various modes including: Momentary Switching, Constant ON, Strobe Mode, Dimming, and Lock-Out all with intuitive, user friendly, one-finger operation. The switching is separated into two components. A familiar thumb activated push-button tailcap and our new proprietary patented rotary dial, also thumb activated. The Night-Ops Gladius will provide our modern warriors with a readily available, high-end illumination option to tip the scale of conflict in their favor. Size / Weight Specifications: Bezel Diameter: 1.25 inch, Tailcap Diameter: 1.25 inch, Body Diameter: 1 inch, Length (Bezel to Tailcap): 6.23 inch, Weight (w/o Batteries): 6.63oz.

When I first received the Blackhawk Gladius flashlight, put the batteries in and turned it on, it was clear that I would need to study it's operation for a bit. The Gladius has many modes and different settings which need to be understood before one can effectively use the light. While the control knobs are easy to use and the settings reasonably simple to change, it is still a complex flashlight. After I got the thing set up I started to notice that at times it would not come on when the button was depressed. This was solved by tightening the tail cap, however periodically it would occur again, requiring another twist of the tail cap to resume function. I did some research and found that other Gladius owners have had this same problem. I contacted Blackhawk and they acknowledged the problem and sent me a tail cap. In the two weeks it took for the tail caps to arrive, there was a reduced incidence of my Gladius misfiring. It would work well for several days, then while using it the light would suddenly shut itself off. One time the light came on while it was sitting on a table and was bumped by another object. Once the cap arrived, (they actually sent me two) I began to swap out caps. The first cap I tried to use had an activation button which would stick in the ON position and would not cycle the light at all. The second cap seemed to work the same way as my original tail cap, intermittently malfunctioning. I replaced the new caps with my original one, as it's incident of malfunction was less frequent
This is an interesting light. It would be great if it turned on 100% of the time and one didn't have to worry about it shutting itself off at inconvenient times. I would certainly say, that as an emergency tool, this is NOT the light. Police and military personnel would be ill served and possibly endangered by the intermittent malfunction of this light. I'm keeping my light, but I am certainly disappointed in its function especially in light of it's price.
