The OLIGHT Balder S Strobe delivers 800 lumens of tactical illumination with integrated laser targeting and strobe functionality for law enforcement and civilian defense applications. This compact weapon light combines high-output LED technology with precision laser aiming in a single, rail-mounted platform.
What Makes This Different
The Balder S integrates both white light and laser capabilities in a single housing, eliminating the need for separate accessories. The strobe function provides tactical disorientation capability while maintaining steady beam options for target identification. Built-in ambidextrous controls allow instant activation from either side of the firearm, with separate switches for light and laser functions.
Key Features
- 800 lumen maximum output with multiple brightness settings
- Integrated red laser with windage and elevation adjustment
- Tactical strobe mode for defensive applications
- Ambidextrous paddle switches for light and laser control
- Universal Picatinny/Weaver rail mounting system
- IPX6 water resistance rating for adverse conditions

Field performance centers on the dual-functionality design that eliminates fumbling between separate controls during high-stress situations. The 800-lumen output provides sufficient illumination for target identification at typical engagement distances, while the integrated laser offers rapid target acquisition in both daylight and low-light conditions. The aluminum housing withstands recoil from standard pistol and rifle calibers without zero shift.
