Apollo Flashlight – Hardened 7075 Aluminum Body, Nichia 519a LED – Made in USA

The Apollo, Reimagined in Aluminum

The newest evolution of the Apollo has landed. Precision-machined from 7075 hardened aluminum and anodized for a clean, durable finish, this lightweight version brings the same craftsmanship and capability that made the original Titanium Apollo a hit, and it does it in a more accessible package.

Available in Gray, OD Green, and Black, each Aluminum Apollo is powered by the Nichia 519a LED, marking the first Apollo release to feature this high-quality emitter. The result is a smooth, even beam with outstanding color accuracy and a max output of 520 lumens.

This first release dropped on September 30, 2025, and while not intended to be limited, restocks may take time once this batch sells out.

Performance You Can Rely On

The Aluminum Apollo delivers a simple, dependable three-mode interface (Low, Medium, High) controlled by a black tail switch. It’s powered by the included Nitecore NL1411R 1100mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery for domestic orders. (International orders ship without the battery.)

With its compact 3.6-inch length, sapphire lens, and precise machining, the Apollo remains one of the most refined pocket lights in the EDC world.
