For decades, deploying chemlights meant relying on an outdated and improvised process. Operators had to unwrap individual chem lights, bundle them together with 550 cord, tape them to control light output, then figure out how to secure the entire setup to a belt or kit using additional retention methods or carabiners. The process added unnecessary bulk, increased weight, and consumed valuable time better spent on weapons maintenance, mission planning, equipment preparation, and other tasks critical to operational readiness.
That is no longer the standard.
Blue Force Gear is proud to introduce the patent pending MARCO HR, a purpose built chemlight deployment system engineered for professional end users operating in environments where speed and efficiency matter.
Built for Modern Operations
Built from rugged injection molded nylon, the MARCO HRcarries and deploys thirty 2 inch chemlights in one compact system weighing only 9.6 ounces loaded. Traditional taped chemlight bundles can weigh nearly two pounds once assembled, adding unnecessary bulk to an already demanding loadout.
Using a palm actuated mechanical design, the MARCO HR simultaneously deploys and activates each chemlight instantly without additional handling or visual confirmation.
No tape. No wasted motion. The MARCO HR allows users to maintain concentration and situational awareness without looking down to confirm chemlight activation during low light operations.
The result is faster deployment, reduced movement, and improved efficiency during low light operations wheremaintaining focus matters.
The MARCO HR can be loaded in under one minute using the user’s preferred chemlight color including blue, green, red, IR, and white options which are sold separately.
This is not an incremental improvement to an old concept. It is a complete replacement for an outdated method that has remained unchanged for decades.
For more than twenty years, Blue Force Gear has led the industry by challenging conventional equipment design through advanced materials, patented technologies, and a relentless focus on reducing unnecessary weight without sacrificing durability or capability. From weapon slings and load carriage systems to pouch design and attachment technology, BFG products are trusted by military and law enforcement professionals worldwide because they are engineered to solve real operational problems.
Because lightweight equipment is not about comfort. It is about preserving mobility, reducing fatigue, and increasing effectiveness when performance matters most.
For users who prefer a more traditional carry configuration, the MARCO HR can also be paired with the new Ten-Speed Belt Pouch Hanger, which holds three larger chem sticks while maintaining a cleaner and more streamlined profile than traditional taped bundles.
The era of taped chemlight bundles is over.
The MARCO HR has arrived.
