The world needed another traditional weapon light option. So Cloud Defensive went to work. But we refuse to produce a product unless we can offer significant enhancements over what already exists. The REIN- series offers just that. Here are a few of the big concepts that we addressed and integrated. First, we had to address a simple fact: The world wants a mini version of this light in addition to a full size version. And the world also wants a full size version of this light. So our REIN project instantly because two different lights. Designated REIN-3 and REIN-6, we have two lights in the family. REIN-3 is optimal for guys wanting the smallest-possible light or the shortest-possible light while retaining substantial performance. REIN-6 is optimal for the guys demanding maximal performance from the REIN series. Next, we had to address the mount and lack of versatility in the light itself. If a traditional weapon light is basically a retro-fit hand-held light, the weapon-light should be able to serve in both applications. And the mounting system should be simplified in such a way that the user no longer needs to find a 3rd party that makes a mount for the light because other manufacturers dont make mounts for their lights specific to a lot of applications. Our solution to the traditional mount is our patent-pending Integrated Pallet System. The REIN uses a series of pallets that are secured with a jam nut. This allows the REIN to be mounted or removed from the host weapon in a matter of a few seconds. The pallets are retained by that jam nut and can then be easily swapped out. Meaning you can use a weapon-mount pallet and then quickly (a handful of seconds) remove the light from the gun, insert a hand-held pallet and then have a handheld light. It also means that you can change out your light in the field if need be. And it rids the world of the need for dedicated light mounts. After the mount was done, we had to address the need for a field-serviceable lens. In a light designed for hard field use, the reality is that lens will take abuse and they will break. The user can change out his own lens in the field in a matter of seconds without even removing the light from the weapon. Nobody else can do that. It means lens replacement is no longer a warranty issue. Then we had to address the tail cap. It seems simple enough. Except that traditionally you need several different tail caps. That requires knowledge of what you need and expense. We decided to eliminate that by developing a proprietary system that uses one tail cap assembly for both direct-switching (handheld confirguration, et) and remote switching. So REIN uses a very specialized and proprietary electrical system in the tail section of the light that saves complexity and increases durability compared to its competitors. Once the mount and tail cap was addressed, we then moved on to the remote switch. Remote switching is where we got our start as a company. We developed the Light Control System to secure the tape switches made by other companies. But that meant we had to play within their rules with that LCS. Moving forward with REIN, we knew from the first day that we were no longer obligated to play by any rules. So we designed our remote switch and a next-generation Light Control System for it. In a traditional tape switch, there are 3 typical failure points that we had to address. First, the plug that goes into the light itself. The other plugs come straight out the back of the light. That is a high-impact area and one of the biggest failures that occur in lights due to that. So we developed a 90-degree plug that shrouds and protects the wiring from impact while also routes the wiring between the gun and the light. That means there is no exposed wiring that can snag things during normal or even abnormal operation. Secondly, the wire exit position on the remote switch. Historically, tape switches have wiring that exit the switch at the back of the unit. The wiring then routes through our LCS and down to the light. But wiring exiting the back of the switch exposes it to impact at that site and puts undue stress on the wire as well. Since we make everything in-house, we took our remote switch back to the drawing board in every sense of the word. And that means we developed a method that allows us to exit the wire underneath the switch, coming out the bottom and then exiting through the LCS. This means no weak links in the wire and no exposed areas subject to impact. And its physically impossible to inadvertently snag the wire as well. Third, the wire itself. Of the existing solutions on the market, none of them offer mil-spec rated cable that utilizes memory. Its just basically wire that you shape with the LCS. That means increased risk of cable failure under the jacket and and increased risk of snagging objects during motion. We sourced mil-spec rated cable that offers memory. This allows you to move the cable where you need to move it and it does not move once positioned. That brings us to the switch itself. With the community at-large asking for both a momentary and constant-on capability as well as an option for a dual switch that integrates with a laser system, we knew we had to optimize for both those configurations. So we did that. We sourced rubber to over-mold the switching components that is customized for our need. It offers a level of chemical, environmental and heat resistance that others do not. And we built the injection mold infrastructure in-house to make these ourselves. So we can fully control the quality control process. Fifth, the Light Control System. Since we now had the freedom to build our own switch, that means creating a 3rd generation LCS. One built specifically for our switches. The 3rd generation LCS is smaller and lighter than ever before. Its lower profile than ever before. Its more ergonomic. Its easier to install (2 pieces instead of 3). Combined with out tape switch, it sets a new standard for what remote switches should be. Finally, we knew REIN needed to perform at a level that meets end-user demands. And that means it significantly beats its peers. To facilitate that, we utilize custom-made aerospace-grade reflectors and a proprietary electrical system optimized for performance. Our LED in the REIN is about 4000k and the competitors run about 6000K. The higher the number, the whiter/cooler the light. The competitors do that because those whiter and cooler lights appear brighter. But they wash out in the presence of photonic barriers. They dont penetrate things like smoke, fog, humid air, et. Our 4000k LEDs penetrate those things however, allowing the shooter to see the target better. And our reflector allows that light to penetrate further down range than anybody else on the market. So we get the light downrange with the LED/reflector combination while still offering very usable levels of spill allowing for increased situational awareness. And the upgraded power supply makes that possible. In an era where its peers are focused on duel-fuel power supplies (18650 and CR123 compatibility), REIN terminates that concept. We are not interested in utilizing inferior power sources specifically the CR123. An 18650 battery has more energy potential at 50% charge than 2 brand new CR123 primary cells. And when you build an electrical system to accept both those power sources, you lose efficiency and performance. So we decided to change the conversation there and bring the weapon lights into the realm of the best-possible power supplies: Re-chargeable batteries. The REIN-6 uses a single 18650 and the REIN-3 uses a single 18350. They are not compatible with CR123 batteries. In return for that incompatibility, we get a level of performance the others can not attain. And with our direct-drive system, we also give the end-user the ability to tune their lights by choosing which 18650 or 18350 battery they would like to use. Some batteries will give you maximal output. Some will sacrifice a little output and give you maximal run-time. So with REIN, you can now tune your light to the mission profile. And to simplify things for the end-user we supply 2 batteries with each REIN and a professional-grade battery charger as well. Color: Anodized Black
