Teacher, doctor, police officer. Common childhood career aspirations. If, however, the young ’uns around you want to grow up to be, say, a lighthouse, just get them a Lightforce Enforcer 140 Searchlight. Lightweight, waterproof, and powerful, the Enforcer 140’s 6″ 75-Watt halogen light sends a focused beam of light 500 meters or more than the length of five football fields. Lightforce measures the effectiveness of the light in Candela (120,900) and by Kelvin Rating (3,350 degrees K). Translated: Exceptionally bright; unbelievably clear. Ships in the sea will pay attention. (So shine it wisely.) Available with a rechargeable battery, the Enforcer can be powered and charged by the included wall cord or 12V car charger. The cord can be a merit plug or have alligator clip connections. The light has a handy green/yellow/red battery-strength indicator to let you know how the battery is doing. A single power button located where your trigger finger would naturally rest offers a positive click on and click off. A switch located where a manual thumb safety would be located on a gun offers an easy change from brilliant white beam to low-energy red task light. Adjust the beam from spot to flood by twisting the plastic housing. Here’s the order of amazement when people try this light. At first, they’re expecting it to be much heavier than it is. And then they turn it on and are immediately intrigued at how something this light in weight can cast such a bright beam so clear and far. Then come the comments including “search light,” “signaling someone in space” and, of course, “light house.” The Enforcer 140 retails for $112.
