Whether you’re a combat medic or combat lifesaver, you must have a light source that enables you to have full use of your hands while providing reliable and versatile illumination. Our specially designed lights enhance visibility at the point of injury and perform across the full spectrum of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) applications. First-Light USA's unique mix of red and green LEDs, on select models, at the appropriate wavelength and brightness, “highlight” the color red, especially blood, while subduing other colors (and fluids) when compared to using blue, red, or green light alone.

WHO WE SERVE
Traditionally, blue light, green light, or red light alone have been relied upon when performing casualty care in low-light, battlefield environments. As we’ve learned over the course of the last decade or so from 68 Whiskey Combat Medics and others who’ve performed Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) duties with our lights, the mix of red and green provides better identification of the color red versus the aforementioned colors. As recently as April 2021, The Journal of Special Operations Medicine published a study supporting this sentiment.
(“Red-Green Tactical Lighting Is Preferred for Suturing Wounds in a Simulated Night Environment” Noyes BP, Mclean JB, Walchak AC, Zarow GJ, Gaspary MJ, Knoop KJ, Roszko PJ. 21(1). 65 - 69. (Journal Article)).
Here at FLUSA HQ, we fondly look back on a study from 2016 from the same publication that measured the effectiveness of red+green vs blue. This study helped solidify our position as the go-to light for TCCC. Check out the abstract here for brief synopsis of the results.
