MARCO® HR by BFG®
Built for speed, simplicity, and control under pressure, the MARCO® HR streamlines chemlight deployment for low-light and night vision operations. Expanding on Blue Force Gear's proven magazine-style dispenser architecture, a category-defining design trusted by professionals worldwide, the MARCO® HR carries and rapidly deploys thirty 2” chemlight sticks with controlled, single-handed operation while simultaneously activating each chemlight in one fluid motion.
Constructed from rugged injection-molded nylon, the MARCO® HR is lightweight, compact, and built for professional use in demanding operational environments. Designed to support rapid room marking, firing line identification, and target marking, the system delivers low-signature illumination without unnecessary movement or added preparation time.
As the innovator and industry leader in rapid chemlight deployment systems, Blue Force Gear continues to refine mission-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce complexity, and support end users operating in high-stress environments.
EASY 30x Chemlight Loading
Designed for fast reloads and faster marking, the MARCO® HR holds up to thirty 2" chemlights. Once loaded, simply squeeze to dispense, pinch, and activate each light in one smooth motion. Chemlights sold separately. Buy MARCO® Refill Packs here.
What is burn time of the 2” Marking Sticks?
Four Hours at maximum output. The Marking Sticks will continue to put out a gradually diminishing amount of light for hours or even days afterwards.
How much does it weigh?
A fully loaded MARCO Dispenser weighs 3.9oz. The Ten-Speed Belt Hanger pouch weighs 1.3oz. The Helium Whisper pouch weighs 1oz. The Kydex Pouch weighs 2.8oz.
What colors do they come in?
They are currently available for order in Green, Blue, and Red. Infrared is available to order with extended lead-time and minimum order quantities.
What is the shelf life?
Each bag, box, and case is marked with the "Expires on" date. From the day they are manufactured, the 2" MARCO marking sticks have a guaranteed 4 year shelf life if stored according to manufacturer guidelines.
Once opened, how long will they last?
The 2" marking sticks will begin degrading the moment the foil bag is opened. Multiple environmental factors make it impossible to give an exact estimate on how long they will maintain maximum efficacy after opening. Things like extreme heat, extreme cold, and exposure to UV light will further shorten their life-span.
Are they reloadable/refillable?
The MARCO Dispenser is designed to be a single use item that should be discarded once empty. While it is not encouraged, it is possible to reload the Marco Dispenser.
Are they heat/cold tolerant? To what temperature?
Storage at elevated temperatures (above 120° F or 49° C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40° F (4.5° C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20° F, or -26 to -29° C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the marking sticks.
Are they toxic?
The internal illuminating chemical substance is non-toxic and non-flammable. It is possible that exposure to the chemicals could be a mild irritant for some individuals.
Will they break open if you step on them?
It is highly unlikely that the sticks will burst when stepped on.
What is the minimum quantity that can be purchased?
For our standard colors (Green, Blue, or Red) a quantity of 1 may be purchased. Depending on current stock status there may be a lead-time associated with any purchase of MARCO.
What are the holder options?
They are 3 pouch options for MARCO currently available from Blue Force Gear: Ten-Speed Belt Hanger, Helium Whisper Ten Speed (MOLLE Compatible), and a Kydex Belt pouch.
What is the recommended purchase quantity for X number of personnel?
It is recommended that 2 each MARCO Dispensers and one each MARCO carrying pouch be issued to each individual that requires them.
What is operating temp range?
Exposure to cold temperatures will not affect the light sticks if they are warmed above 40° F (4.5° C) before activation, unless they are frozen (which occurs at -15 to -20° F, or -26 to -29° C). Once light sticks have been frozen, they will still produce some light, but performance will not be as reliable. Storage or use at temperatures above 120° F (49° C) will decrease shelf life and start to soften the plastic tube, and increase the risk of a leak. Humidity and atmospheric conditions do not affect the marking sticks.
What is the warranty?
The MARCO Dispenser and the associated pouches are covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty. There shall be no warranty service or returns after the expiration date.

What is MOQ on additional colors?
