The Modlite OKW V2 is now available direct from the manufacturer. It boasts 1300 lumens and a blazing 95,000 candela. Even better, it can be fitted on the PL-350 for one of the most powerful pistol lights on the market. If you’re looking for a holster for your PL-350, Werkz is now offering the Bisect […]
Modlite has launched their Noxon Anark today. This light boasts 1,000 lumens and 18,000 candela in a small form factor for $130. I’ve had the chance to carry an Anark over the last couple weeks. My usage consists of frequent admin tasks that require a low level of light, and occasional tasks that require high […]
Laser Excited Phosphor (LEP) lights have been around for a number of years, with Kyocera even manufacturing the key components right here in the USA. LEP lights allow a highly focused beam, providing high candela numbers and minimal spill due to the small light emission area of the design. This makes them well-suited to target […]
Streamlight announced the release of their Wedge SL, an “Ultra-Thin Rechargeable EDC Inspection Flashlight.” The light has a maximum output of 500 lumens and 1,600 candela. However, output isn’t the focus; form factor is. Wedge, or rectangular section, lights are popular these days in large part because they carry so nicely in the pocket. The […]
Streamlight has announced the latest additions to their upgraded lights. The ProTac 2.0 HP has strong specs, combined with 4 different modes (high / medium / low / strobe), which can be programmed using their “ten-tap” model. The ProTac HP-X is a little smaller, more of an EDC light. It too provides strong output, with […]

Modlite just posted a good overview of 5 uses of white light, or “Lowlight Theory”. It’s worth the short watch. I appreciate how they included “control” as one of the 5 uses.
Cloud Defensive has released their MCH-HC, which claims 100,000 candela and 1,250 lumens. If those claims prove out, this is one impressive light. I’ve always liked that the MCH carries well due to the reasonable size and metal pocket clip. I also like the swappable negligent discharge protectors, which will take care of most of […]
Nitecore announced their EDC29, which has a staggering max output of 6,500 lumens and 40,230 candela. It has a tail switch that allows quick access to full output, available lockout mode, pocket clip, battery display, and adjustable brightness. I personally like these flat lights and will be interested to check it out at Shot Show […]
Streamlight announced their Megastream pocket carry light this week. It’s got 3 modes, is recharageable with the battery inside or outside the light, and has a pocket clip. Perhaps the most interesting part are the specs: 1,800 lumens and 26,000 candela. My personal minimum for a defensive handheld is 20,000 candela. Lights of that strength […]
