The neighbors across the lake are probably going, he’s filming a flashlight video again 😂
I'd have no problem with Mike being my neighbor, probably would sleep better at night lol
Damn White people are at it again
Better filming flashlights than fleshlights.
@bojengels1 interestingly one has more spill than the other.
Sorry if I missed you mentioning this but the PLH-5K head will also work and it's really the ideal mix of lumens/candela/tone for a pistol light you'll be using within 15yrds. That said, I've had 2 of these and sold them both because the switches get loose and start failing after 500rds on a pistol. I am waiting (like everyone else) for the Cloud EPL pistol light but in the meantime the Holosun PID has become a favorite. Rechargeable 18350 battery, 60min runtime, 1000 lumens and 23,000 candela. Great for HD gun.
Been meaning to grab a copy of the Holosun PID to see what they have come up with. Holosun seems to have figured out the formula - reliability v features v cost - for optics. Would expect the same from them re. a weapon light. with that in mind - If you’re a Sig 365 guy check out the Fenix GL06 purpose built to mate up with the 365 and indestructible kinda a sleeper but well worth a look! cheers
Surefire x300 turbo end thread
Yeah I have the PLH5k head. It's a warmer yellowish light. And it's perfect for indoors/home defense. I like it.
Love the Mete in the thumbnail. Recently switched from a P365 to a Mete SF.
I got something you..🎉
I get it, I do. For pistol lights though the TLR1HL can do up close with a wide spill and can see out to 100-110. If I need my pistol to handle situations that far it can but I prefer the wider spill and brightness of the TLR1HL personally.
Candela isn't just for reaching out further. Defeating photonic barriers is a huge plus. Windows, car windshields, fog, smoke, etc. Modlite also has a different head that will beat out the streamlight in almost every category.
Even tho I'm a modlite fanboy... if I had to do it all over again I'd just get the TLR1 HLs and call it a day. Best bang for the buck.
@@Elitist8I think all those potential thing you may encounter is defeated with a rifle light. And idk why you wanna reach out to 100 yards with a pistol at night
@@guntypesnlifegripes You missed the entire point of my comment.
It just flew over lol 😂@@Elitist8
"Would I choose this as my HD light?"
"Absolutely not" Pretty damning on the switching. Same reason I keep x300s around. The new Turbo 300s are damn fine lights.
The x300 turbo is just the better option for pistol. Even the x300u is the proven light. But for the rifle the modlite is excellent and i love it. Variety lol.
They 300s are too fragile
@@sithcdwmaybe if you got the eBay special clone 😂
@@sithcdwyea ok
This is how I roll
Ive seen a numberof x300s break at the switch, but im not gonna let it stop me from upgrading my tlr1. I rly want this modlite tho, i use a plhv2/arisaka build on my rifle and lpve it.
The wind wasn't a problem. The price on the flashlight, big problem, especially without a momentary on switch. Good info...which is why I've been a sub for a while!
got something you..🎉
TLR-1 for the win again and mad affordable
I got something you.🎉
I would have agreed with the new standard, but the switch on mine completely failed after just over 1k rounds. Contacted Modlite and they're not taking warranty repairs on it because there is a gen2 apparently coming out in the near future to replace it. I like that it uses an 18350 vs CR123's and was very happy with the performance up until it broke.
I got something you.🎉
When is the new switch coming out? Every time I ask, they say it’s in the making and that’s it
Thank you. once again your top shelf, appreciate all you do man.
Thank you again for helping choosing a weapon light.
You're welcome 👍🏽
Small note, contacted modlite customer service and their aluminum rail lug was only a temporary fix until they redesigned their polymer. They are only doing the polymer one which honestly looks the same as the first one that sheared off my gun.
The handheld modlite is awesome. I use it for work and it’s been great.
I got something you.🎉
Yeah I was at an indoor range when my light just shot off and the insert had cracked, I was so embarrassed, got new ones and no problems
I have 5 of them and got 3 of them at launch they are flawless no issues with the switches or the plastic rail key insert. I wonder if modlight will ship me out 5 of the aluminum rail keys
I got something you.🎉
Have had the plh-v2 for rifle for 2 years w surefire ds00 tailcap super solid no issues. Looks like they’ve fixed the original issues w the pistol option.
I got something for you.
I’ve had Modlite’s and cloud defensive lights….both crap all over surefire. My pl350 has been perfect for two years.
@@assclapper2231 ok 🤡
@@assclapper2231how do you feel that for years the ultra was the same price as the new light that is 10x better and... same price.... that's robbery.
They actually have made quite a few head lights for the PL350. PLH, PLHv2, OKW, and PLH5K. Of course the OKW is the best head.
@@assclapper2231 nah. gibs me laser like performance at 10 yards. If the hotspot is centered on what I want to hit, then it will hit. Simple as.
I took my pL350 phl head and 18350 battery and mounted it on a Valhalla 18350 body with the AWS switch on my lightweight AR build.
The PL350 fits in my Safariland Surefire X300 holster
Was wondering if it fit into a 6354do fit for a x300
I'm looking to possibly replace my 10+ year old Surefire 6PX Pro light on my rifle that is about a 300-350 lumen light for something brighter. What would you recommend at a fair price? And do you any type of discount codes that you give to subscribers for any specific light?
I got something you..🎉
I've gone through like 4 pl350 light bodies in 1.5 year,s all of them eventually developing switch failure. I'm curious if they ever improved the output of the pistol light because last time i checked they are still lying about the output of it with the plhv2 light head.
I got something you.🎉
No momentary on for me is a deal breaker. I like their rifle lights I have 2, but surefire and streamlight is what I use for pistols.
Agreed.
@@assclapper2231Why’s that exactly?
@@assclapper2231 Agreed. You can't really shoot pistols with momentary feature... These people have never used the light at the range.
@@assclapper2231 So you are saying that since I like to have a momentary on means I am inexperienced, you don't know me or what I am thinking. I never mentioned toggling anything before, during, or after shooting. I gave a preference on a light. If I had a preference I would never toggle my light on at all, because I should know my house, any and all angles better than anyone else, and do not want to give away my location. I only want to put my light on for identification and for if I would actually need to pull a trigger, and I prefer a momentary on for most use.
@@chltmdwp Did I ever say in my response that I was shooting with a momentary feature? I prefer momentary on for a quick light use only if I have to not mess up my night vision, hitting a toggle to turn off then on is much longer than a quick little bump of a button. I never mentioned a range, I am talking real world where I would need to defend my house, which would make me not want to ever use my light and give away my position and take away night vision.
1,000th like!!! Lol Even before watching this, DO NOT waste your money people!!!
I got something you.🎉
Just bought another raid-x for one of my carbines, gonna be sprucing up my glock with one of these soon. I've had the same TLR1HL since like 2017, it has almost a mirror polish on its body from holster wear lmao

Its your choice for HD *on a rifle*, just not on a pistol. That would be interesting to hear why momentary is such a deal breaker for pistol vs. rifle.

Why would I ever buy one after this review? Company with an apparent PR issue, design and QC issues and expensive... I will stick with lower power units that are proven reliable over a long period of time. My Streamlight has been good so far.

I wish PHSTLR was going to make the Flood light Mod2 holster for this light.
Modlite is suing them
@@TheKawasaki250 wow, just went down the rabbit hole on this whole thing.
I knew something had to be up with modlite because recently battlehawkarmory marked down a bunch of PL350s then when they sold out never restocked, I was hoping that modlite was just getting ready to launch a pl350 2.0, but after reading about all the BS with them I think I'll pass on their company.
I love my Modlite in the pocket and I love the idea of having it on my pistol, but for the similarities in performance, the SF is a more reliable known entity for a pistol light. For me at least.

So many peopIe talk trash about olight but l never see anyone trashing Modlite even after reading/seeing so many Modlite problems and even seeing several videos of Modlite glass cracking after just a single drop on a hard surface.
There are people right in this comment section calling out Modlite for issues.
@@Murphy82nd Yet they still talk trash about olight because like you they are SAF.
@@Overfohd I’m not SAF. The name was from a video game. My point is people are calling out Modlite for issues, as they did Olight.

Unless I am missing something.
Agreed. Great light but I’ll never buy it because of their switch.

They would be the new Standard if Surefire never made their Turbo series, which is the same thing but also different, and runs on regular CR123 batteries without blowing up. Not to mention holster compatability, and that everyone and their Mom, INCLUDING Modlite have made shit for the Surefire lineup.
Surefire remains king.
I got something you..🎉
Lmao they've sold you inferior lights for so many years and just now made a comparable product. And they were selling the inferior lights at such a markup the new lights cost the same which is well over 300. And you say they're king, still.....? They were never king, those Ultras were trash. Come on man.
Can we get a quality American made compact light in the 200 LM range that is under 200$? Cmon it’s not that damn hard to make a flashlight…
200 lumen is trash. TLR7A is the best you are going to get.
I’m sure all the American companies are eager to hear your solutions to making a 100% American made product cheaper.
Streamlight
@@JTTTTT850 stream light is not American made
You're not going to get ANY flashlight that is 100% "American-made" no matter the price. All of the "high-end" (which is really a joke term for those lights) like CD, ML, even Elzetta use foreign parts/materials in some form or another.
I wonder what it is vs the newest viridian lights.

Lots of Surefire reps spamming the comments. 😆
Tlr1-hl and the surefire x300 can’t be beat. If you are trying to candela the hell out of a pistol light you lost that gun fight
Modlite destroyed ruclips.net/video/ldF7CheQwLA/видео.html&ab_channel=RooftopDefense
Flickers. Switches suck. I’d go x300turbo. Modlite as a company is ehhh
so to highlight need for candela you really need to demonstrate it during the day. close all blinds in a home or garage or some such, open the door and THEN turn on the light to see if it illuminates the interior of that space. night time demos show lumens. so if you gonna talk about candela night time isn't the demo required. cops know of this all too well i'm sure. it's difficult to break the photonic barrier to see into a building or some such from the outside. so try and remember that next time.
Hm
Lucas Botkin>Modlite
I already know this statement will be controversial. I would like to request a review of the some of the highest rated knockoffs that come from places like Amazon. Yes I know There's A lot of bots in review sections on certain products on places like Amazon but I've honestly found great products in this market. Most everything auxiliary on a firearm is made of or consist mostly of overseas parts anyway and it's damn near unavoidable with anything these days. Of course I'd prefer American made but there's literally almost nothing anyone in America can touch that doesn't have foreign parts or non American manufacturing. Most American manufacturers sold us out decades ago!
Another lightsabre for the end of your gun....meh make them FIT THE GUN as in tot past the muzzle, at least for carry guns.
a wml that extends past the muzzle will let you actually touch a target and fire without taking the weapon out of battery which will then let you fire follow up shots without the need for corrective action. which means they are great for pistols because the likely hood of cqb is much higher. in the home or on your property you may be more likely to carry a long gun but when out and about you will have a pistol and threats can be close on you real quick like cause bad guys ambush you when THEY want not when you want. so you may not get that blaster out to drop that threat until he's touching you. just something to think about. have a good day.
Can’t get high candela with a short light. The shape of the reflector for a tight throw vs spill requires depth. A light that fits flush has no room for that with current battery technologies.
You are also limited by how much power can he delivered in compact batteries, which determines how much power can be put into a diode. The TLR7A and Sig Foxtrots are the best options in the size class you seek.
They will by nature be more flood than throw. The TLR9 vs a TLR1 or an X300 is another good example. TLR9 is a stretched 7, 2 batteries, twice the lumen and candela, same shallow reflector - its a lot of flood power but not great for throw.
The TLR1HL reflector is not great for throw either, but it takes the same 1000 lumen diode the TLR9 has and concentrates the beam to give 20,000 candela vs the 10,000 of the TLR9.
Given another 5 or 10 years of battery advancements and more efficient LEP heads maybe they can build what you seek.
Modlite is a shitty company
@@assclapper2231 aww, don't get your feelings hurt because your $500 light is outperformed by competitors and comes from a shitty company.

WAY TOO BIG!
Not when you ah e a 5 inch threaded barrel it will still over stand-off
What is the drama with Modlite? You guys spend way too much time on the internet. It's just a flashlight company... Buy the products you like, and move on. You dislike the lack of momentary switch? Then don't buy it.
As for me, I am a Stream Light man all the way. There great lights for the money. There's NO Flash Light no matter where it's made worth $300.00 + dollars IMO. Sure Fire are WAY over priced. I have a number of Stream Lights on handguns and rifles. I got one of the Stream Light knock offs [Night Stick]and it no where close to the Stream Light. Now days to be a Super Cool you MUST have a massive Flash Light on any gun. There's no reason to carry a gun with a Light for day to day uses. I have Lights for night use only. I am not a Super Cool that needs a light on my carry gun. I made it this long without being one of the Super Cool, Band Wagon jump on board person that does the Monkey see Monkey must do because it's cool.
boomers are insufferable
(You when you realize people stay out till night time and entering a building during the day is dark) 😱
@@supermoon1430 I get it, there may be many people that truly need a light. Most here on YT just do it because they seen it here and it's COOL because there's very few gun review without a light now days. I haven't seen any of them using their guns at night with the light it's there for show and a COOL guy factor. Need a light, carry a light all day everyday. Just because it's not for me doesn't mean some may need it.
A light on a carry gun (daytime carrying) is counterproductive. Bigger holster, bulkier firearm etc. Now if you're out at night alot, obviously a light makes sense
@@arlissyoung8899maybe you haven’t seen them use it in video because access to low light or no light ranges is a lot harder than daylight ranges and not everyone has a camera that will capture low light or no light shooting, at least capture it well.
As a comparison, I see a lot of people filming videos about firearms for defensive uses, and yet they don’t post videos of them shooting people. Just because someone doesn’t have video evidence of a need or desire for something doesn’t mean that need or desire is made up.
What did modlite do??

High candela doesn’t seem fitting for a close range weapon like a handgun
Damn that’s crazy. Take a course. Sage dynamics low light is what I recommend. Crazy how much light you lose when you need to identify anyone or anything that’s backlit or there light between you.
if you come home in the daytime and your door is open and you have a high candela light you would be able to illuminate the immediate interior just beyond the door with out having to actually walk into the room. or if you are deeper in your home and wanna check a very dark room like a walk in closet same thing, high candela will break the photonic barrier and reach into a dark area from a lit area.
Actually, the opposite is true. I promise! Please, look it up yourself - Lumens = distance; candela=width WITH heavy center.
My local club does a no light idpa stage the, surefire x300a I use seems like the minimum I’d want and targets usually range from 5-15 yards inside. I watch guys use lights rated at 500 lumens and those lights are dim. Seems bright until you need it then it seems dim. I know you said candela but I just wanted to put my two cents in since I have some experience with lights in very low light shooting.
@@maximummarklee not arguing just asking. opposite of what is true? and lumens is for illuminating the dark candella is used to penetrate a lighted area into a dark area. as in trying to see inside a dark room from outside in the daytime. or from a well lit room into like a walk in closet. at least that's how it was explained to me and millions of others by john over on active self protection. so you want the higer the better for both. he says a flashlight is too powerful only if it has recoil or starts fires lol. but yeah there are tons of bwc footage to prove the point.
