Surefire XR1 - Highest Candela in a Compact Light 

$400 for ten minutes of max output?! Hard pass.!

Just started the video but 800 lumens,? 15,000 Candella? 404 dollars? Yeah the Sig FOXTROT2R has 750 lumens, 20,000 candela, and I only paid 130 (delivered) for mine.

I’ll wait for the PL350C. That will smoke the competition, and ModLite for me has been a game changer. Between the PL350 and the OKW… they have set the standard for what WML outputs should be.

Wonder if Cloud Defensive is gonna finally release the EPL to compete against this.

$500 for a light .... nah $500 for that 19X yeah !

I've seen videos showing the output from these Surefire Lights. They were very impressive in output and throw. However I do wish the price was lower and the runtime higher.

I’m waiting for 2011 holster for this light.

Yeah, it has greater output than a Streamlight at 2.5-3X the price. I'm poor so I will stick with my Streamlights'!

For that price I'll stick with streamlight

I don't care what the light offers there is no tiny little flashlight like that worth four or $500 when you can get something that works pretty decent for a quarter of that.

People are sure to complain about the price, but there are certainly people out there like myself that are happy to at least have the market option of a light that is 10% better, even at 2× the cost. XSC is another example of this in the 3" barrel gun size.

No

Love seeing constant innovation, but I wonder if the demand for higher and higher output in smaller and smaller packages has resulted in a market of lights which are bordering on impractical due to battery life. Only a few minutes of full output? This is getting pretty bad. Every time I see runtime graphs like this, I think about how much I love my 300-lumen TLR-1 (non-HL) which is still on the original batteries.

Yah, no!

Yeah, nah.

Got mine for $260. Makes the tlr1hl stupid

Surefire had me reaching for my wallet up until you showed the lumens over time graph jeez

When I was in USMC 11th MEW, in 1996-97, we had only 30 lumens on our weapons lights!, and we swore about it!, I’ll take 80 lumens any time!.

But the cheap high light laser combos for $50.
