This review of the Olight PL-X weapon light highlights its 1200-lumen output, dual flood and spotlight modes, and 300-meter beam distance. The light features an adjustable rail system for versatile mounting, USB-C charging, and an IPX7 waterproof rating. It is compared favorably against competitors like Streamlight and Surefire in terms of performance and price.

This guide details the installation and functional benefits of the Dark Matter Concepts CMD lens protector for SureFire Scout weapon lights. Expert instruction highlights its role in protecting the lens from carbon fouling and blast effects, particularly on rifles with lights mounted close to the muzzle. The CMD ensures full candela output when the light is activated, contributing to a reliable white light setup.

This comprehensive review, presented by a former law enforcement officer with 15 years of experience, details the exceptional durability and performance of Streamlight weapon-mounted lights, particularly the TLR-1. The instructor shares personal anecdotes, including a submersion incident and extensive round count, to highlight the brand's reliability in high-stress situations. The video also provides a technical breakdown of lumens versus candela and compares various Streamlight models for different firearm applications.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of several popular Weapon Mounted Lights (WMLs) through a rigorous outdoor testing methodology. The analysis focuses on Lumens, Lux, and Candela, translating them into practical terms of Flood, Spill, and Throw for different engagement distances. The instructors, Jason and Eliza from Classic Firearms, offer detailed performance breakdowns for each light, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in target identification and detail at both close and extended ranges.

This video provides an in-depth comparison and review of the Inforce Wild One and ARK 650 LRM weapon lights. The reviewer details their testing methodology, including daily carry and range use, to assess durability, battery life, and performance. Key features like construction, switch ergonomics, and light output (lumens and candela) are discussed, along with potential nitpicks and suitability for EDC versus duty applications.

This guide details a comparison of flashlight effectiveness against night vision devices, as demonstrated by FalconClaw. It highlights how high-candela lights, like the Weltool LEP, can severely impair NVD performance, while lower-output lights are less effective. The demonstration emphasizes practical application and technical specifications for tactical gear users.

This video provides a technical comparison between the Streamlight TLR-1 HL and TLR-1 HL-X weapon lights. It highlights that while both share a 1.5-hour runtime and 20,000 candela, the HL-X offers a higher lumen output of 1500 compared to the HL's 1000 lumens. The HL-X also produces more light spill, making it brighter but not more intense. Both are considered effective and blinding at close range.

This video from Brownells, featuring Andrew from SureFire, explains the three primary SureFire beam patterns: Max Vision (wide, close-range), Hybrid (hotspot with spill), and Turbo Series (narrow, long-range). It details the difference between lumens (brightness) and candela (beam intensity/distance), demonstrating how these patterns perform on handheld and weapon-mounted lights. The instructors emphasize choosing the right beam pattern for specific applications, from home defense to long-range observation.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of modern rifle weapon lights, focusing on the Surefire Turbo series as the current performance leader. It details the shift in the market towards prioritizing candela over lumens, with 100,000 candela being a benchmark. The review covers Surefire's M340 and M640 Turbo models, highlighting their dual-fuel capabilities and high candela output. It also explores budget-friendly alternatives like the Streamlight Protac HLX Pro and HPX, and custom builds using Arisaka and Malfest components, offering insights into their performance, control options, and mounting solutions.

This review details the updated Streamlight TLR-1 HL-X pistol light, highlighting its increased lumen output (1500 vs 1000) and a new front-access battery compartment. While the output is brighter, the reviewer notes potential holster compatibility issues due to the new battery lever design and expresses a preference for the older mechanical switch over the new digital one. Despite criticisms, the light is deemed reliable and effective, especially for new pistol light buyers.

This video compares two distinct EDC flashlights: the Nitecore EDC37, described as a high-performance tactical option, and the Nitecore MT1C Pro, highlighted for its compactness and compatibility. The comparison focuses on their lumen output and candela at night, cycling through different modes to showcase their specifications and differences. While the video centers on flashlights, the context of 'self-defense' and 'EDC' aligns it with tactical preparedness and everyday carry gear often associated with firearm owners.

This video review focuses on the Nitecore MT1C Pro, an affordable and high-performance tactical flashlight. With 1,000 lumens and a high candela spotlight, it offers both monetary (likely meant 'momentary') and constant-on functionality, with high and low modes. The description highlights its compact size, making it an excellent option for everyday carry (EDC) due to its great output.
