Directional Light, Pyrotechnic
Abstract
The U.S. Army Land Warfare Laboratory developed a Directional Pyrotechnic Light for use during night ambushes and other selected combat and noncombat uses. That design used an expedient candle made from two M127A1 Signal Candle Assemblies placed end to end to burn sequentially. Adaptation of these candles for use in the light required extensive modifications which were time consuming, expensive and hazardous. A one-piece candle was designed and fabricated which reduces manufacturing time and costs, is less hazardous to produce, and is compatible with and adaptable to standard industry manufacturing processes and procedures. The Directional Light has been tested, demonstrated, and, as a result, judged suitable for field evaluation.
