Introducing the Klarus XT12GT Tactical Advanced LED Flashlight

The Klarus XT11S and the XT11GT impressed the flashlight community by taking the popular XT11 and upgrading it into one of the most advanced flashlights! Now, Klarus has done the same thing with the beloved XT12 and introduced the XT12GT! We’re excited to announce Klarus’ newest advanced flashlight! It delivers up to 1600 lumens and has an incredible beam throw of 603 meters!

So let’s take a look at some of the incredible features of this newest flashlight. First, big shout out to the CREE XHP35 HI D4 LED that the XT12GT is equipped with. Thanks to that LED we get a maximum output of 1600 lumens which is insanely impressive for this compact handheld light. Seriously, just looking at some of these pictures it almost seems unreal. This is one awesome flashlight.

Let’s talk about some of the similarities between the original XT12 and the upgraded XT12GT. For starters, both flashlights have that dual tactical-tail switch which is a really nice switch for one-handed and simple operation. Unlike the XT11S and XT11GT, the XT12GT only has that dual-tail switch. Also, both the XT12 and XT12GT have that wonderful magnetic charging port that so many users loved for the convenience and secure charging. Both lights also function the same way so you use the main switch to turn ON and OFF the flashlight and you use the mode switch to access the different brightness levels and the specialty modes.

Ok now let’s talk about all the cool upgrades. We already discussed the obvious upgrades such as the LED, beam distance, and the max lumens. Both flashlights have the charging indicator, but the XT12GT features a battery power indicator that will let you know what the battery charge is at anytime you initially turn on the flashlight. This is extremely convenient so you can monitor your usage and know when it’s time to recharge your battery before your flashlight turns off on you. The XT12GT also features two programmable settings: the Tactical Setting and the Outdoor Setting.

The Tactical Setting includes a One-Touch Turbo with the main switch and a One-Touch Strobe for the mode switch. You can access the Strobe mode whether the flashlight is ON or OFF by holding down the mode switch. You can also cycle through the different brightness levels by clicking the mode switch while the flashlight is turned ON.

The Outdoor Setting includes a One-Touch Turbo with the main switch and a One-Touch Low with the mode switch. You can cycle through the different brightness levels by clicking the mode switch while the flashlight is turned ON and you can also access the SOS mode through the mode switch.

Klarus XT12GT Advanced Programmable Tactical LED Flashlight with Magnetic Charging


Another improvement of the XT12GT is actually an accessory that it comes with: the magnetic charging connector. This connector allows you to turn any micro USB cable into a charging cable for your new XT12GT. The original XT12 came with a magnetic charging cable, but if you lost it or needed more than one then you need to make that purchase. With the magnetic charging connector you can just use one of the many USB cables you have floating around your house! Also, the connector can easily attach to your keychain and has a little light so you can use it as an edc light!

PRE-ORDER the Klarus XT12GT here! We are thoroughly impressed by the advanced flashlights that Klarus keeps bringing out and we’re excited to see what they have in the future as well!
