## Description

The Viridian Reactor RTL tactical pistol light is ideal for handling threats in any dark situation thanks to its instant-on and Radiance Lighting technologies. The compact pistol light emits up to 140 Lumens of bright light. Thanks to the Radiance Lighting technology, light is dispersed in a wider area which provides a better view of your surroundings and potential threats. Radiance Lighting focuses on the area where light is needed most, not on the floor or ceiling. When you draw your gun, the tactical pistol light automatically switches on lighting up your surroundings and making you ready for a dangerous situation. By setting the RTL to your favorite light mode before holstering, you’ll ensure that when you draw your gun, the light will activate in the predefined mode. This will prevent fumbling with buttons when assessing a high-risk situation. When you draw, it’s on! The Viridian Reactor RTL tactical light comes with two different lighting modes. Choose between the 100 lumen constant light mode to act as a compact tactical flashlight illuminating your view, or the 140 lumen strobe mode which will pulse with bright light, dazing potential threats. The battery life is long lasting making it an extremely reliable accessory. The Reactor RTL is constructed specifically for your gun from high strength and durable thermo molded polymer. The custom-made holster ensures for a smooth and easy movement when drawing or holstering. The light accessory is virtually weightless and snag free design makes it perfect for self-defense situation. Thanks to its durability, light-weight, and long lasting battery life, the Viridian Reactor RTL is a solid choice for a tactical pistol light. Upgrade your gun with a Viridian RTL light today!

Review: Awesome automatic on/off BRIGHT light comes on as advertised. - This is a very small but effective weapon light addition to my Ruger LCP. Installation was easy and despite reviews that the battery level is weak, I have not found that to be true. I am not continually drawing the weapon but on the occasion I do check the light, it shines brightly. There are three settings, off, continuous and strobe. Evidently there is a sensor built in to the unit that senses when it is holstered, not exactly sure how it works but the light goes off when I holster it and then comes on when I draw it. Comes with a spare set of batteries. Included in-the-pocket sticky holster is great and will not print, at least not through my jeans and dress slacks. I would highly recommend this light. Video is how it looks snd operates on my LCP.
Review: Great idea, but just not bright enough. - It's a neat concept, and having the light come on automatically when the pistol is drawn from the holster is definitely a great feature, but it's just not bright enough to be very useful. Viridian says that it's 100 lumens, but it doesn't look it, and it's barely bright enough to back light the sights for aiming. Viridian's "no hot spot" technology makes the light look a lot dimmer than it is. It also means that you can neither use that non-existent bright spot in the middle to clearly see the face and hands of the perceived threat, nor can you effectively use the light for rough aiming at close ranges like you can with lights that have that hot spot in the middle. It's better than nothing I suppose, but I can't recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome automatic on/off BRIGHT light comes on as advertised.
*by D***C on October 14, 2017*

This is a very small but effective weapon light addition to my Ruger LCP. Installation was easy and despite reviews that the battery level is weak, I have not found that to be true. I am not continually drawing the weapon but on the occasion I do check the light, it shines brightly. There are three settings, off, continuous and strobe.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Sort of Confusing Title
*by F***D on November 17, 2015*

Read this description completely. This unit does not come with a laser. It is only the light. The light is bright and it fits the trigger guard well. If you are only looking for light, then it might fit your needs. However, if you would also like a laser, you might shop around for another unit.
