how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot Patriot Channel now one thing
you've heard me say before on my channel is that I think every home defense gun
should have some kind of light on it I have a light on all my home defense guns
you probably saw that in my home defense shotgun video if you haven't I'll put a
link to that right here at the top of the screen we all know that a lot of
home invasions tend to happen at night so being able to see to get around and
to identify the threat is very important you definitely don't want to get up in
the middle of night thinking that your house is being broken into when it's
really just your wife getting a drink out of the refrigerator so identifying
your threat is always very important and one of the best ways to do that is to
have a light mounted on your firearms so no matter where that firearm is aimed
you can see exactly what it's pointed up now there are a ton of weapon lights on
the market but one of the best is this o light PL to Valkyrie and you can see I
have it mounted on my home defense handgun this is the Smith & Wesson St
9ve this is Smith & Wesson's basically budget version of the M&P line it's
actually a great gun and I will do a review on this eventually if you like

nothing the Oh light peel to Valkyrie is one of the best options you have for a
weapon light now this light can be mounted on both handguns and rifles but
I do think this particular light is better designed for handguns if you want
to see the weapon light I use on my rifles check it out I'll put a link up
here at the top of the screen but one of the best things about this light is its
ultra bright this light has a single output of 1200 lumens you know as far as
I know that is one of the brightest weapon lights you can get on the market
today now if you know much about weapon lights you know that that is very bright
most handgun lights like this come in at around 200 to 600 lumens 600 being some
of the brightest most expensive out there and this olai is double
that now this light uses a high-performance cree LED powered by two
cr123 batteries as you can see it is relatively wide compared to the handgun
but i don't see that as a problem it actually gives you better access to
these buttons on both sides now even though this is kind of a large weapon
light this is a full sized gun with a 4-inch barrel this light comes in at
three and a quarter inches by 1.4 inches and it's 2.8 ounces so it's not super
heavy but weight really isn't a huge concern for a home defense gun now back
to the brightness of this light this light is going to give you a super long
beam it goes out to 235 meters but still also gives you a nice wide spill so you
can see everything around you and we will show you towards the end of the
video what it looks like in the dark now as you can see it does have a little bit
of a defensive bezel there so this light can actually be used as a weapon itself
if you need it to and one thing I love about this slide the most is it has a
quick attached mounting system so you can see this lever right here all you do
is pull that lever out and it comes right off so and the same thing when
you're putting it back on just find your spot close that lever and it gives you a
nice tight lock up this mounting system will attach to any weapon that has a
rail on it what other great thing about this light is that it is ambidextrous as
you can see it has buttons on both sides so it's accessible whether you're left
or right-handed now you can see these buttons are ribbed and rubberized so you
won't have any problem with your fingers slipping off and get a good grip on that
button this light does only have one brightness setting it's all or nothing
1200 lumens and I actually think that's a good thing lights that have too many
modes really can just be a burden when you're in that high-stress defensive
situation are you really going to remember how to cycle through those
modes when you turn that light on is it going to be in the mode you need it to
be in you're not gonna have that problem with the O light like I said it's all or
nothing you hit the button that's going to be wide open at 1200 lumens so we
will go ahead and cycle through the modes here so just click it once from
either side and it's on
it does also have a momentary function so if you press and hold it'll stay on
and then when you release it goes off it also has a strobe function so it's
access that all you're going to do is hit both buttons at the same time you
hit that and you get the strobe and
that's it very simple to operate not complicated at all
now the runtime on this light is 71 minutes if it's owned constantly that's
plenty long for any kind of defensive situation it's also IP X six water
resistant so it's basically waterproof you can throw this thing down in a pond
and it would come out just fine still working now let's get out here and see
what this thing looks like in the dark all right guys know we're filming from
inside my house right now and as you can see it is pitch-black in here no let's
go ahead and turn the light on all right now the camera is not going to do it
justice but as you can see it is lighting up the whole room pretty much
it does have a very bright hot spot but it also has a nice wide spill so it
lights up the whole room
you'll have no problem seeing inside your house with this light alright guys
as you can see it is completely dark outside all you can see is the light on
my shed there and the light on the doghouse
all right but keep in mind guys this is just a little pistol light I'm probably
35 or 40 yards away from the shed there so check this out BAM all that from a
pistol light nice wide spread actually picks up that whole barn there no
problem stretching way out here to the woods that tree out there is probably
just over 50 yards and this light is picking that up no problem these trees
out back you can see is reaching all the way to the top of that tree just a super
bright light especially for a pistol light
alright guys that's the O light PL to Valkyrie one of the brightest best
weapon lights you can get on the market today especially for handguns you know
if you want to pick up this light for yourself or any of the Oh light
flashlights I will put some links down in the description below so make sure
you check those out now if you've been considering how to outfit your home
defense guns or you're looking for the right light for your gun I hope this has
