Frequently Asked Questions

What is LEP technology in the Olight Valkyrie Turbo?

LEP stands for Laser Excited Phosphor. In the Valkyrie Turbo, it uses a blue laser that excites a phosphor coating, which then emits light. This process creates a very focused, long-throw beam, distinguishing it from traditional LED lights.

How does the Olight Valkyrie Turbo's beam compare to other weapon lights?

The Valkyrie Turbo's LEP beam is significantly tighter and has a much longer throw distance than LED lights like the Streamlight TLR-7 or Thyrm LPC TW10. While it excels at pinpointing targets far away, it lacks the wider flood pattern of those other lights.

What type of batteries does the Olight Valkyrie Turbo use?

The Olight Valkyrie Turbo uses two non-rechargeable CR123A batteries. This design allows for immediate battery swaps in the field, ensuring no downtime if you carry spare batteries.

Is the Olight Valkyrie Turbo suitable for all firearms?

No, the Valkyrie Turbo is considered a full-size weapon light. It's designed for full-size handguns or rifles. It is too large for sub-compact or micro-compact firearms, as it may not fit correctly on their shorter accessory rails.
