Nightstick

What Nightstick does

Nightstick, a brand of Bayco Products, Inc., is a privately held designer and manufacturer of professional LED portable lighting products headquartered in Wylie, Texas. Founded in 1984, the company operates across three primary professional segments: law enforcement, fire safety/rescue, and hazardous environment/industrial, with adjacent lines in automotive repair and outdoor recreation. Its product portfolio spans penlights, handheld flashlights, weapon-mounted lights for handguns and long guns, headlamps, area/scene lights, lanterns, and a deep line of intrinsically safe (IS) products certified to global hazardous-location standards including ATEX, IECEx, cETLus, INMETRO, KOSHA, and UKCA for Zone 0/20 and Class I Division 1 environments. Core proprietary technology includes the Dual-Light design (introduced 2013) that combines flashlight and floodlight into a single light with simultaneous dual-mode operation, protected by US patents on angle light and scene light architectures.

Manufacturing is conducted in ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities with third-party quality inspections, and the company holds multiple US patents (9,713,217; 10,879,519; 11,450,934; 10,196,663) underlying its INTRANT, INTEGRITAS, and XPR-5592GX product lines. Nightstick's go-to-market combines an authorized dealer network for enterprise and government procurement, a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront, an Amazon marketplace presence, and industry-event participation (notably FDIC for over a decade). Pricing is transactional hardware sales, with USB-C penlights starting around $34.95 and IS-certified tactical and area lights priced higher; the company is also building a recurring-revenue layer through USB-C rechargeable Li-ion battery packs (NS1-BATT, NS2-BATT).
