Switch MPLS Helmet Light

The Princeton Tec Switch MPLS is the lower-profile, lower-output cousin of the Charge Pro. Output is 10 lumens versus the Charge Pro's 55, but the burn time is comparable (36 vs 46 hours) and the AA battery is easier to source than CR123A in a pinch. For pure admin work, gear checks, and short map reads, 10 lumens is enough; for sustained map work or signaling, the Charge Pro is the better tool.

The Switch is the Princeton Tec light variant that ships in the Ops-Core RAILINK Bundle ($3,897.95) and is sold individually for retrofit on RAILINK rails. On standard ARC rails the included bracket mounts conventionally. The MPLS arm articulates the same as on the Charge Pro.

Pick the Switch over the Charge Pro when (a) you are running RAILINK and want the RAILINK-spec variant, (b) you want the lowest-profile helmet light available, (c) you only need admin lighting and the brighter output of the Charge Pro is overkill, or (d) AA battery sourcing matters more than maximum runtime. Otherwise, the Charge Pro is the more common pick.
