A review of the PentagonLight K2 Porcupine flashlight has been posted over at Officer.com. 'The K2 Porcupine, purely as a flashlight, is manufactured out of aerospace grade aluminum and finished with a Military Spec Type III Hard Anodized exterior coating. This is quite common to handheld lights of this type. What's uncommon (to others) is the Pentagon shaped tailcap which prevents the light from rolling if it's laid on a slanted surface. The K2 uses two CR123 3V lithium batteries to produce 70 lumens of light from a Xenon lamp assembly for approximately 60 minutes.

I am not really a fan of hunting but I can nevertheless comprehend the utility of having a high quality green flashlight in your possession especially if you are not a city dweller and/or spend significant periods in the wild. ‘Green lights are also our recommended flashlights for backpackers and outdoorsmen who enjoy immersing in the nature with minimal intrusion and disturbances. The use of a green filter over the beam of a conventional flashlight creates a narrowly focused hot spot that projects excessive green light into distance, thus compromising the original intention of using a green light.

If you do not require any of the specialised led flashlights from among the high quality PentagonLight brand but would be satisfied with the regular white led light, the S2 maybe the one to fit your need. 'Through its marvelous engineering, S2 sends a smooth and even coverage of pure white light blanketing over an area of about 10 meters in distance for objects discernable to human eyes. The advantages of the LED's are numerous. One of its primary advantages is in its efficiency, which can not be matched by any incandescent lamps. Operating at high efficiency means lower power consumption, giving longer run time. Unlike the filaments of incandescent bulbs, the LED's will in theory never need to be replaced as they are semiconductor materials resistant to shock and long term usage. S2 light also serves well as a close quarter combat light. Even with only 30 lumens of light output, its well scattered light beam ensures effective blinding of any opponents in close proximity without precise aim and direct throw. S2 is not just a limited use LED light, since its head is interchangeable for alternate light sources from a diverse selection of conversion heads available separately, so your initial investment for a high quality flashlight is maximized.'

This "stealth" flashlight from PentagonLight is primarily targeted at users who need to operate in darkness without the glow from the yellow or white lights. 'Red light is a low-signature light, which ensures stealth in the darkness. It is also a necessity for any pilots, vehicle operators, and other specialists who need to preserve night vision when reading charts, maps, and going over checklists. The use of a red filter over the beam of a conventional flashlight creates a narrowly focused hot spot that overly affects night vision and projects excessive red light into distance, thus compromising stealth.'

As the technology beneath the casing in the flashlight continue to evolve, the devices are more and more being engineered for specific uses as in the case of the recent batch of Pentagon lights. 'The Pentagon S2 Blue flashlight is an excellent forensic tool during crime scene investigation. The evenly diffused, powerful yet smooth blue light best reveals evidences such as latent fingerprints developed by ninhydrin. Unlike conventional blue filtered lights, which have undesirable center spots, the LED’s of S2 Blue individually project for a smooth, non-glare, cool blue light without transmitting heat to the specimen, ensuring the highest quality and purity in evidence gathering. S2-Blue does not need to be just a dedicated blue light, since its head is interchangeable for alternate light sources from a diverse selection of conversion heads available separately, so your initial investment for a high quality flashlight is maximized.'
