Nightstick Clip-On Magnetic Base - 5566-68

The Nightstick Clip-On Magnetic Base for 5566-68 angle lights is a specialized mounting accessory designed to convert handheld angle lights into hands-free task lighting for tactical, industrial, and emergency response environments. This quick-attach base clips directly onto the bottom of compatible XPP-5566 or XPR-5568 angle lights and uses dual rare earth magnets to create a secure, repositionable magnetic mount on ferrous surfaces—allowing operators to affix their light to vehicle bodies, equipment racks, metal doorframes, or machinery without tools or permanent installation.

The base is engineered from glass-filled nylon polymer, a reinforced thermoplastic that balances impact resistance with lightweight design. The two rare earth magnets deliver sufficient holding force for typical field positioning while remaining quick-release—a critical feature for dynamic tactical work where rapid repositioning or equipment transition is necessary. The attachment mechanism mirrors the charger interface, making installation intuitive for existing XPP-5566 and XPR-5568 users. Compact dimensions (2.75 × 2 × 3.25 inches) and minimal weight (0.3 lbs) ensure the accessory adds negligible burden to patrol gear or response kits.

This accessory is ideal for law enforcement, search and rescue, industrial maintenance, and security professionals who need flexible task lighting positioned at eye level or on work surfaces while maintaining hand availability. Vehicle interiors, boat cabins, machinery enclosures, and metal scaffolding present ideal deployment scenarios where magnetic mounting eliminates the need for stands, clamps, or secondary lighting rigs. The rare earth magnet construction offers superior holding strength compared to standard ferrite magnets, reducing accidental drops under moderate vibration or movement common in active field use.

Nightstick manufactures purpose-built lighting for professional and tactical applications with emphasis on durability and operator efficiency. The magnetic base extends the versatility of angle light models 5566-68, transforming them from handheld flashlights into modular work lights without requiring a separate fixture purchase.
