We Turned VEGA Pods Into a Handheld Flashlight… Meet the VEGA™ Series 2

ORACLElights · Jan 21, 2026

We’ve got a new one going live today — the VEGA™ Series 2 LED Flashlight! This is true off-road LED power in handheld form. It puts out 2,000 raw lumens with a focused spot beam that throws close to 1,000 feet, all packed into a compact body that fits comfortably in your hand. It’s IP69K rated, built from powder-coated aluminum, and designed to survive real use.

What makes it especially cool is the flexibility. It runs on an M12 battery platform (sold separately), and if you already have VEGA components, you can grab just the flashlight base and convert a compatible VEGA pod into a handheld light. No proprietary batteries, no weird chargers — just swap and go. It’s perfect for trail-side fixes, night wheeling prep, spotting lines, camp use, or garage work when you need serious throw and clarity instead of a washed-out flood.

Curious where you’d use it... trail bag, glove box, shop, or all of the above?

Perfect for when I need to guide aircraft to my remote landing strip!

ChrisNLA · Jan 21, 2026

Well there it is.

Stuff I don't need but might actually buy.

Mostly cause me and a buddy always nerding over flashlights and knives, and this would be something to 'show him up' next time - especially since I literally keep M12 batteries in my truck.

Hopefully it is more reliable than your taillights. Cool idea though

PlayfulBird · Jan 22, 2026

Any m12 work, or does it have to be theirs?

Add headlights too. I have one that’s going out and flickers. Oracle only sells them as a set. Not doing that again.

Any M12 would work, including temu versions!

Does the battery holder need to be purchased separately, or does it come with the light?

ORACLElights · Jan 23, 2026

The battery does need to be purchased separately from the light for shipping reasons. That said, both the light and the battery are available on the same product listing, so it’s as simple as adding both items to your cart.

So essentially a knock off of https://rovrlab.com/ lights but with you own light.

The pod-style flashlight idea has been around for quite a few years now, since 3D Printers started to become more mainstream and accessible. What we did was take a light people already trust, engineer it in-house, and offer it directly instead of sending customers to a third-party solution.

Ours is also significantly more compact since it’s built around the Vega 2 LED Pod, not a generic housing. Different execution, same goal: a simple, durable tool that actually fits how our customers use their gear.

We’ve been getting more feedback and real-world use clips from people lately and honestly it’s been cool seeing all the different ways everyone’s using them! Trail bags, recovery kits, camping setups, shop lights, etc.

Curious what the Gladiator crowd would realistically use one for most:

trail repairs
camping/overlanding
emergency kit
garage/shop use
“because ridiculously bright flashlight”

Still probably one of the brightest things you can casually throw in a glovebox
