Klarus XT11S 1100 Lumen Tactical Light 

I'll repeat what others have said: the side switch DOES turn off the device. In fact, it has mode memory, too! Whatever mode you like, press, and hold, the side switch. When it turns off, as long as you use the side switch again to engage the light, it'll return to whatever mode you were enjoying. I've had a few lights, and I work often in the attic. For the price, the modes, the tactical features, the longer run time....there is nothing better in my opinion. Great review! Don't see many actually showcasing the importance of the dual spring for the battery.

Great light and I like the rubber button and paddle design. Thanks for another great review!

I got the xtq2 recently. it has that flat metal momentary switch in the back. klarus is doing good stuff with their weapon lights.

bought one of these today, based on your review. it was between this and the olight m22. Couldn't go wrong with either but the tail switch style and the side switch lockout of the klarus made the decision for me. Cant wait to get it in the mail

I really do love that you can make the side button disabled, because I don't want to be out in the woods and cause any attention to myself accidentally.Also i really want to see it in the black bezzle.

Glad to know im not the only one who plays with their flashlights out back at night lol.

Saw the review and ordered the Klarus XT11S. love it so far. Really like the instant strobe switch. Very bright. can't wait to test it out.

I have one on my AR. I love it so far I keep on the Tactical Assault setting. A little over 1700 rds with it on, aligned with my muzzle and no hiccups. I wish the bezel came black, but other than that it's awesome.

Great stuff, just decided today that I need a tactical flashlight and this looks like just what I had in mind! Thanks for the review

Sootch00 for President! 🇺🇸

I own both versions of the xt11 and love love this light. I will have to pick up this version to go on the other AR. Thanks Sootch

Love Klarus lights. Still using my xt10 from your first GoingGear review.

Man, now I want this light.

I have this light mounted to my AR. It's a great light. Also, you can turn off the light with the side switch. When it's on, just press and hold and it will turn off.

Great flashlight! I carry one of those everyday. Love the paddle switch. Nice review!

I also use just a Klarus flashlight, which are really good.

Ok, Sootch00, another great flashlight review!

Great intro always brother! Just bought a klarus xtq1 so far hasnt let me down. klarus is a great brand for the price.

Love that tactical flip flops lol. Great review.

I love this light, it's amazing..thank you sootch00 for the review..

looks like your great review crushed going gears stock pile! sold out! I definitely want one. great review as always.

Loving Mine..... Great Review Mr. Sootch00

Nice light. Not a bad price for all the features either. Thanks for the info.

+sootch00 I love the high speed tactical operator flip flops durning the opening of the video. Great job with your videos brother, keep it up.

That is an awesome light! That's worth the money!

I have found that the lights that lose there charge are the ones with electronic switches that always draw a small current. The Klarus light has a forward clicky switch for momentary and totally breaks the circuit when in the off so there is no "vampiric" drain from the side switch while off. My personnel edc is the Fenix E11, sadly no longer in production but i bought 6 of them so i have spares :} for my tactical lights i use ethier the fenix LD35 or the Thurnite TN12. both have electrontic side switches and maunal forward clicky switches. Following your review i will be getting one of the Klarus XT11S, thank you very much for pointing me towards this light. In return may i suggest you take a look at the Fenix LD41 4 x AA light, it does not have a side switch but has a dual switch on the tail on/on forward clicky and mode changing switch. I have 4 of the older versions with i have picked up from the second hand market at very reasonable prices. Once again thank you for all your videos take care and God bless you and your family.

Love Klarus and the XT11 series. You can turn it off with the side switch...just keep it pressed

The accessories for this are: • Traffic wand (flexible w/ open end) • Red (low light) filter • Blue (blood tracking) filter • Green (map reading) filter • White (general lighting diffuser) filter • Aggressive bezel (which also can be used as table stand for low lighting) • Adjustable double-claw clamp (for mounting to bike or other structures) A pretty robust lighting system (especially for the gadget guy!)

Lightforce is my lifetime favorite ;) High quality Australian brand always reasonable price.

Good review as usual. Ever considered an Elzetta? Would love to see a vid on that.

Hey, strobe, makes Disco Kitty! LOL

That is a nice weapons light Sootch!

My edc light is a Klarus P1C. Great pocket light. My only problem is that sometimes a dime will wedge itself into the lens recess.

I just received mine yesterday!

Carry the XT11 (not the S) on my duty belt. Great light.

Thank you for the review. I haven't seen this brand before. Very nice! Remember, "Rangers Lead The Way!"

Great review. ....Don't piss off the attack Kitty

With those kinds of lights, you could be a easy target.

Oh my god! it´s so tacticalistic!!

Great review mate! Just one question: is the USB charging port waterproof even when the cover is off? I can't find any info about it. I know the Fenix UC35 has a waterproof charging port even without the cover. Thanks for reading, I hope you make more awesome reviews.

I feel like I saw you greasing the threads of this light in your bobby-pin video :) Maybe it was a different Klarus, but I thought "I wonder if he's going to review that?"

they're definitely not indestructible. I had mine as a duty flashlight in the trunk of my patrol vehicle as a backup and the summer temperatures ruined the board. Now it only lights up to about 20 lumens no matter what I do.

not that it's related to this one but get your hands on a valmet m62 or a sako m92 and do a review on them. i need to know what the master thinks of it before investing in it.

if you plan on using a 18650 buy a few before August 8th. if the fda regulations go through on electronic cigarettes 18650 will be taxed as a tobacco product.

I prefer muzzle-flash as my #1 light security tool.

You sold me. I just made the order.

Hey sootch, I know this is an old vid but did you ever figure out that the side button when using it to turn on the light you can cycle through to the power setting you want then by pressing and holding the button it turns the light off. I've had mine for 5 years now and use it daily.

great video :)

Hello Sootch, another great review. Can you find out if the red filter from the older xt11 fits on this new xt11s ? Please let mebkniw

another awesome video. thanks for the review as I'm going to be purchasing this light soon. been a subscriber and love your channel. would love to have your support as well. thanks again......Joe

Very nice! but what about the Nitecore P12GT?!

Just bought mine, and it is everything you said it was. Spotlight in your pocket. Hey Sootch00, any idea if i need to fully deplete battery to less than 30% (Battery indicator red) before i charge it up, or can i at 30-70% (Battery indicator orange)?

Do you think 1100 lumen strobe and 1100 turbo are enough for us to defend again bad guys ? I mean can it make one guy can't see anything ?

Does it use high-drain 18650s? I use 18650s for my vape gear and it would be nice to have a flashlight with common batteries.

they have the whole "kit and kabootle" package on amazon for $89.95. includes the torch, multiple charging platforms, and a keychain light. if anyone knows it to be cheaper anywhere else let me know. the flashlight backage is $77. but id doesnt include the whole shabang

I want to see you review Diamondback DB380

I prefer to use single function lights tactically. I don't want to be cycling through a bunch of useless functions in a high stress situation.

Is that 1100 Chinese lumens, or 1100 American lumens? They seem to be different somehow. . . 😁

this is the old version right? new ones out now I think much different modes

I have the streamlight a tears which $1 and 300 lm very bright but the batteries one last long

I like this one I think I have to get one my is not rechargeable it takes three batteries three volt One last very long

Which one is better do u think, the xt11s or the xt11gt?

hey can u do a video on the chiappa M27E 9mm plz? its 350 at buds or grabagun

just bought one using the coupon code

I bought 3 lights from them after watching your video and the code "Sootch00" didn't work for me.

was hoping you would put them next to each other. It looks bigger.

Does it get hot pretty quick? My streamlight protac HL gets blazing hot.

Does the light come with the rechargeable battery?

I work for EMS in the uk. Can you recommend a flashlight without strobe. I've had the led lense but they always let me down.

Can you make a video about the .475 wildey?

sootch00 Love your videos. Looking for an edc, and weapon light for my AR15. I currently have a Nitecore P10, but it's kinda been a disappointment to me. I was wondering if you like the Klarus XT11S or the Jetbeam 3M Pro better ? Thanks !

What about "budget" flashlights on Amazon? Like Bluefire or Captink, (under 25$).

I prefer my Olight M22 Warrior :)

I really have a problem with it : the side switch light always on. I try to change the mode but I failed. I have no idea what can I do ...

Ive been looking into a light to put onto my bcm ar, any suggestions?

There out of stock !

all my klarus have let me down and no customer service

Why(when) you need strobo ?

Hoo-yah...........

Copped this on ebay for 54.99. THIS THING IS BAD TO THE BONE!

Clitoris xd11

Is this a joke for a flashlight? Get a a real light like the Sky Ray King off eBay. It puts out 20,000 lumens and can be had for the same price.

P

Too complicated: a dedicated tac light should be simple and to the point IMO. On and off only.

I love the XT-10...Gonna have to talk the Mrs into this one! lol
