Powered by an included 21700 5000mAh battery with USB-C charging, IP68 waterproof, and dual-switch control — this is the EDC tactical light for users who need reach, not just brightness.

What makes the Brinyte PT16 different from the PT16A?
The PT16 is the dedicated long-throw model with 92,500cd peak intensity and a 608-meter beam distance. The PT16A is the balanced duty model with 3000 lumens and a wider 458-meter beam. Choose the PT16 for maximum distance and target identification; choose the PT16A for maximum brightness and a balanced beam for close- and mid-range work.
How far can the PT16 beam reach?
Up to 608 meters (1,995 feet) of beam distance, with a peak intensity of 92,500cd. This is measured under ANSI/PLATO FL1 standards with the included 21700 5000mAh battery.
Is the PT16 rechargeable and what battery does it use?
Yes. The PT16 uses an included 21700 5000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charges via USB-C. Turbo runs for 1 minute at 2000 lumens plus 90 minutes of step-down output. Low mode (10 lumens) lasts up to 16,800 minutes (about 280 hours / 11.6 days).
How durable is the PT16? Is it waterproof?
The PT16 is IP68 rated — fully dust-tight and submersible up to 2 meters. It is impact-resistant to 1-meter drops and built from aerospace-grade aluminum.
What lighting modes does the PT16 offer?
Turbo (2000 lumens), High (820), Mid (130), Low (10), Strobe, and SOS. Mode memory remembers the last non-strobe/SOS brightness setting.
How does the dual switch system work on the PT16?
The tail main switch controls on/off and locks high output on press. The tail side switch gives one-touch instant strobe when the tactical switch is off, or cycles modes and activates strobe on a 1-second long press when the tactical switch is on. The front side switch cycles brightness levels, locks/unlocks the light, and provides a find-in-the-dark indicator. This layout allows one-handed, gross-motor operation under stress.
Does the PT16 have a battery level indicator?
Yes. When you turn the light on, the tail switch shows battery level for 5 seconds: green above 70%, orange between 30% and 70%, red below 30%. During use, if the battery drops below 10%, the indicator flashes red.
Does the PT16 have an auto-lock or find-in-the-dark feature?
Yes. In the off state, the light auto-locks after 1 minute. Press the front side switch three times quickly to lock or unlock. When locked, the front side switch indicator glows faintly, making the light easy to find in the dark. The tail switch can still turn the light on for 5 seconds and unlock it.
Can the PT16 be used for emergency preparedness or vehicle escape?
The PT16's instant strobe and tungsten steel bezel are designed for emergency preparedness, including vehicle escape scenarios. The bezel can be used to break tempered glass. Any defensive use of the bezel is at the user's discretion and should comply with local laws.
Long-range target identification, law enforcement and security patrol, search and rescue, camping, hiking, hunting, and emergency preparedness. Its 608-meter beam makes it ideal for scanning open terrain at distance.
