Why Everyone Needs the Enhanced M-Ax Mount Kit from Spiritus Systems.

Humans are visual creatures. It is estimated that approximately 80% of our total perception is based on eye sight alone. It's no wonder that humans have always had a natural weariness of dark places.

After all, it's where all the dangerous stuff comes out.

Fortunately, humans have been developing tools to help us navigate periods of darkness. Most notably, the flashlight, which was invented in the late 1800s, has become an essential tool used by almost every human worldwide.

Since the advent of Night Vision technology the United States Military Apparatus has preferred to conduct operations in times of low light. Soldiers oftentimes find themselves in dynamic situations that require immediate and sustained illumination whether on the visible spectrum or not.

The Enchanced M-Ax Mount Kit from Spiritus Systems is the most versatile and robust helmet mounted lighting system available.

Here are the reasons that I think it is the best.

Bright when you need it, dim when you don't. The OHC pinhole light cap provides the user with the option to do administrative tasks such as reading maps or notes under a discreet focused light beam. This cap also ensures that you never flood an area with too much light.
 

 

The Surefire Vampire light head provides the option to have both white light and IR light at a moments notice. Which means the system works with or without night vision. At 250 Lumens the light provides plenty of power in a small package.



The light is mounted to your helmet which means that the light looks wherever you are looking. This makes it a winner for illuminating the task you are currently working on. It also means that the light is ALWAYS with you on an operation.



 

The pivoting light mount allows you to move the light focused area where you need it. It also allows you to point the light straight up inside of structures indirectly light a space. I have found this to work very well when removing a casualties helmet in a CCP and using the Max mount to illuminate the space.



The light functions off of a single 123A battery. It is very common now in a lot of military equipment and the battery is simple to change. It has a decent run time of 1.5 hours while using the high output white light, and 6 hours using the infrared output.



Bottomline, the The Enhanced M-Ax Mount kit by Spiritus Systems is a robust and reliable turn key solution that solves an array of tactical or SAR lighting requirements.

The Enhanced M-Ax Mount kit is offered in two configurations. The Enhanced M-Ax Mount™ Ops Core Kit and the Enhanced M-Ax Mount™ Team Wendy Kit. This give you options to mount to the most common mounting interfaces out there.

The kit also comes in Black and Coyote Brown to ensure an easy color match with your uniform.
