How HALAR Works?

HALAR is a patented technology that utilizes a proprietary flashing pattern of red and green light for effective eye-safe optical disruption.


The Science

  • The human eye is most sensitive to green light (555 nm), making green light appear brighter.

  • Different colors, like red and green, disrupt depth perception, similar to how 3D glasses work."

  • Flashing colors can alter the brain's object perception and slow reaction times due to the "Kaleidoscope effect," with specific frequencies and colors further enhancing distraction and disorientation.

Air Force Study of Incapacitating Device Based on LED Technology


A 2020 military study with Air Force personnel tested an optical defensive device for aviation protection. They found that flashing red, green, and blue lights at specific frequencies appear far brighter and cause glare, after-images, and disorientation more effectively than steady white light—being up to 120 times brighter in daylight and 120,000 times brighter at night.

The Gap

HALAR is a science-backed optical technology that uses high-intensity red and green LEDs to Disrupt and Disorient threats early in the force continuum. Dubbed HALAR "Stun Mode," when used, gives LEOs a tactical advantage between verbal command and hands-on.

"The HALAR light is undeniably blinding-just one flash had an inmate turning away. I also appreciate the Lo Red light feature for overnight rounds; it lets me see without disturbing sleeping inmates and preserves my night vision."

FAQ

What is HALAR Mode?

HALAR is a patented technology that uses a proprietary flashing pattern of red and green light that is highly effective for optical distraction and disruption.

1. The human eye is most sensitive to Green light in both daytime (photopic) and nighttime (scotopic) vision.  This means that green light produces the impression of the highest “brightness” compared to light at other wavelengths. 

2. Exposing the eye to different colors, especially red and green, interferes with depth perception. This is the principle behind 3D glasses at movie theaters, which put red in front of one eye and blue in front of the other to get a 3D effect.

3. Flashing colors interfere with the brain’s perception of objects. Sometimes called the “Kaleidoscope effect,” they slow down a person’s reaction time.

4. The frequency of a flashing light can significantly increase the distraction and disorientation effects. A flashing light at the right frequency—neither too fast nor too slow—can be more disruptive than a steady light. 

This means the right frequency of flashing, alternating, red and green light is much more effective than strobing white light in causing glare, visual disruption and disorientation.

HALAR uses eye-safe LED technology and will not cause any eye damage if used as recommended. We use only genuine,  certified Cree® LEDs with factory-tested specifications to ensure eye-safety. In addition, the eye will blink as a reflex response to bright visible light and this protects against over-exposure. Alternatively, subjects will avert their eyes. 

Nevertheless, do not stare into the light for prolonged periods.

The HALAR Stun Mode uses Hi Red (310 lm) and Hi Green (400lm) light. 

The low map lights use steady Lo Red (80 lm) and Lo Green (90 lm). These can be accessed through the side-switch only.

HALAR TAC-1 has an IPX4 rating. This means the device can handle splashes of water from any direction, like light rain or sweat. However, it shouldn't be submerged in water or exposed to heavy or long water exposure.
