The Olight PL-3R Valkyrie transforms any compatible firearm into a precision illumination platform with its impressive 1,500-lumen maximum output. This compact weapon light delivers four distinct brightness levels, allowing shooters to match illumination intensity to specific tactical requirements. The black anodized aluminum construction provides military-grade durability while maintaining a streamlined profile that won't interfere with holster compatibility.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional weapon lights that rely on disposable batteries, the PL-3R features an integrated rechargeable lithium battery system that eliminates the need for constant battery replacements. The magnetic charging cable connects securely to the light's base, providing a full charge in approximately 2.5 hours. This rechargeable design reduces long-term operating costs while ensuring consistent performance across thousands of activation cycles.
Key Features
- Four brightness levels: 300, 600, 1,000, and 1,500 lumens with 130-meter beam distance
- Integrated 1,200mAh rechargeable lithium battery with magnetic charging system
- Universal rail mount fits standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
