Originally developed by Cejay Engineering in the 1980’s, the Lip Lights design provides Pilots a hands-free illumination device for use during night flight operations. Since its inception, the Lip Lights role and functionality have extended making it a required tool for cockpit, battle tank and flight deck.The lip light is a focused short-range lighting tool providing the operator with immediate supplemental light to aid in the performance of critical tasks.The MK4 Lip Light is the first light developed to incorporate the batteries directly into the light itself, making the overall package lighter as well as removing the need for an exterior battery pack and cumbersome power cable.The MK4 Lip Light uses one SPOT and three FLOOD Super Bright LED’s to light the work area. The operator can easily switch between SPOT, FLOOD or SPOT and FLOOD light modes to change the size of the area illuminated via the single mode function button on the front of the unit. SPOT and FLOOD LED’s can be ordered in different color combinations allowing the same light to be used in different roles. The mode function button also allows the operator to adjust the lights brightness level providing additional flexibility.The Mk4 Lip Light is activated by depressing the lip switch on the back of the unit. The MK 4 features a unique lock-out system to prevent the user from inadvertently activating the light when storing or during tactical operations and an adjustable “auto-off” function to maximize battery life. The MK4 Lip Light is available with either a Standard (904220) or Soft Touch (904219) lip switch. The Soft Touch lip switch is suitable for easily bent flex booms such as those booms supplied with Bose©, and MSA Sordin© Headsets.
