Powerful Illumination for Tactical and Outdoor Use
The Olight PL-3 delivers a maximum output of 1300 lumens using a Cree XHP 35B HI LED, with a beam throw of 225m and a peak intensity of 12,650 candela, making it ideal for medium-range illumination in tactical or self-defense scenarios. It features three modes—High, Low, and Strobe—accessible via ambidextrous side switches for intuitive operation with either hand:
- High: Brightest setting for maximum visibility.
- Low: Energy-saving mode for extended use.
- Strobe: Disorienting flash for defensive purposes.
The runtimes with the included two CR123A batteries (1600mAh each) are as follows:
