PENNSAUKEN, NJ – January 20, 2026 — Princeton Tec, a leader in American-made tactical and outdoor lighting, announces the launch of Ghost X, a new full-spectrum tactical headlamp designed for professionals who require precise control, reliable performance, and light discipline in demanding environments. Ghost X will debut at SHOT Show 2026, January 20–23 in Las Vegas.
Ghost X was engineered with a clear goal: to deliver a powerful range of tactical lighting features in a streamlined design that balances performance, control, and durability. The headlamp provides up to 300 lumens of white light, along with red, green, and blue LEDs for low-signature tasks. For covert operations, Ghost X delivers 940 nanometer infrared output with adjustable power from 70 to 320 milliwatts.
The light features a simple, intuitive user interface, allowing users to easily control brightness levels and cycle through lighting modes. A programmable LED system lets operators customize the order of colored LEDs to match mission-specific needs.
For enhanced light discipline, Ghost X includes a dedicated Ghost Mode mechanical switch. When activated, all visible light is blocked, and the light operates only in IR High, IR Low, or IR Strobe. The switch also functions as a kill switch, instantly shutting off all illumination to prevent accidental light exposure.
Built for durability, Ghost X carries an IP68 waterproof rating, weighs just 82 grams, and is powered by either a CR123 lithium battery or a single AA battery, offering flexibility in the field.
Ghost X will be offered as both a standalone headlamp and an MPLS configuration, with the MPLS version including mounting hardware for helmet, NVG, and MOLLE integration. This modular system allows Ghost X to integrate seamlessly into helmet-mounted or kit-based setups while maintaining fast, secure attachment.
Available in Multicam®, Tan, Black, and OD Green, Ghost X is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern tactical setups.
