INTRANT® DUO’s innovative design, safety features, and its critical role in fire and rescue missions

For years, the Nightstick INTRANT® series has been synonymous with reliability and advanced lighting solutions in the firefighting and public safety sectors.

The introduction of the INTRANT® DUO Intrinsically Safe Angle Light marks a significant milestone in this legacy, integrating historical strengths with cutting-edge enhancements to meet the evolving demands of fire and rescue operations.

Enhanced safety and certification

Continuing its tradition of comprehensive certifications, the newest member of the INTRANT® family, INTRANT® DUO is certified ATEX ZONE 0 and ZONE 20, cETLus Intrinsically Safe, and IECEx, underscoring its extensive safety in hazardous environments.

This rigorous certification guarantees that the light can be used confidently in flammable gas or dust-laden areas without possible risk of ignition.

Additionally, it adheres to the stringent requirements of NFPA-1971-8.6 (2013), highlighting its compliance with top safety standards in the industry.

Advanced lighting capabilities

Building on its predecessors, the sleek INTRANT® DUO offers three primary lighting modes designed to enhance task efficiency and safety:

Spotlight Mode: Featuring user-selectable brightness settings of 320 lumens and 100 lumens, this mode provides a beam distance of up to 297 meters.

The 22,107 candela output lends a tight, piercing beam that shreds though smoke and haze, vital for identifying hazards and navigating in low-visibility conditions.

Floodlight Mode: The DUO also incorporates a wide-area, unfocused floodlight with brightness settings of 275 lumens and 100 lumens.

Its 45° downward tilt is engineered to reduce the risk of slips and falls, providing clear visibility of the ground in treacherous environments.

In addition, the floodlight LED is strategically positioned to avoid interference with flashlight straps on bunker gear.

The integrated battery status indicator found on the top, glowing green when the battery is full and red when it is low, adds another layer of operational reliability.

Dual-Light Mode: Combining the strengths of both spotlight and floodlight, Dual-Light delivers 320 lumens, ensuring all-encompassing illumination.

This simultaneous dual functionality supercharges scenarios requiring both long-range visibility and broad-area lighting, facilitating better situational awareness and operational precision.

Durability and user-centric design

The INTRANT® DUO is constructed from durable PC/ABS materials, a blend of tough plastic (polycarbonate) and a strong, flexible material (acrylic).

This combination makes the light both strong and impact-resistant, ideal for withstanding the tough conditions of emergency operations.

With an IP-67 rating for dust and waterproof protection with a drop rating of up to 2 meters, DUO is built to endure whatever the mission calls for.

Powered by 4 AA batteries, DUO runs for 8 hours on HIGH and 15 Hours when conserving battery on LOW.

Practical applications in fire and rescue

In high-risk environments, the INTRANT® DUO proves indispensable.

Consider a scenario where a fire crew navigates through a smoke-filled building.

The spotlight beam cuts through the smoke, allowing firefighters to identify exit routes and structural hazards from a safe distance.

Meanwhile, the floodlight mode maintains awareness, preventing trips and falls over debris.

During an extrication operation, where precision is pivotal, Dual-Light showcases the superior blend of long-range and wide-area illumination.

This functionality enables rescuers to see the entire scene with a single light, facilitating the efficient extrication of victims while maintaining clear visibility of tools and surroundings without the hassle of multiple lights.

The INTRANT® DUO Intrinsically Safe Angle Light represents the pinnacle of LED angle light technology for fire and rescue professionals.

Its advanced lighting modes, extreme performance, rigorous safety certifications, and durable design underscore its status as an essential tool in hazardous and high-pressure environments.

By integrating historical strengths with innovative enhancements, the INTRANT® DUO reinforces its position as a leader in the industry and represents the next step in the family, reflecting creative cohesion and advancing the legacy of the INTRANT® angle lights.
