Military Flashlight - The Toughest Battle-ready Lights

Your visibility doesn’t care how big your gun is. The smart soldier knows he can’t shoot what he can’t see.

When it comes to finding a military grade flashlight, tactical lights are the first and best place to look. Aerospace-grade aluminum, rock-solid design, nearly unbreakable lenses and of course, blindingly bright LEDs - these are all traits prized in military flashlights, which are in fact a subcategory of tactical lights. Check out the lights we carry here at FlashlightZ and make your drill sergeant proud.

For Your Sidearm - the XT1C

For a handgun, our best option is undoubtedly the Klarus XT1C. This little light proves that size isn’t everything. 700 lumens and as tough as any of its bigger brothers. This little light that could is impact-resistant up to 1 meter and rated IPX-8, meaning it’s waterproof up to two meters. But military flashlights can’t just be tough, they have to be smart. This light has Klarus’s ITS, “internal temperature system,” which monitors the light’s heat buildup and modulates the brightness level automatically. Klarus managed to make a light here with all the features of regular-sized tactical lights, but at half the size.

For Your Rifle - the XT20

The XT20 is one of Klarus’s brightest lights at 2000 lumens, and it’s no wonder. This light has a dual head, each with its own CREE XM-L2 U2 1A LED. This design gives you good flood and good throw, with a max beam distance of 347 meters (a distance of three football fields). It’s also got a very respectable runtime for such a bright light, lasting two hours at the highest brightness setting. It’s also got Klarus’s signature dual-tail switch for quick access to the strobe, a tactical necessity. If you’re looking for a military tactical flashlight for a rifle, you can’t do much better than the XT20.

Alternate Options - the SPX10 and the P12GT

The MecArmy SPX18 is a rugged and powerful tactical light. Its glove-friendly 360-degree tail switch can be operated from any angle. It’s 1100 lumens with 287 meters. And its 3400mAh 18650 battery doesn’t need a charger; it can actually be plugged in directly to a power source to be charged. Now that’s self-reliance. Alternatively, the Nitecore P12GT is almost just as bright at 1000 lumens and with a little more range at 320 meters. It also features a dual-switch design for a no-thinking-required interface.
