Cloud Defensive RL-100

The Cloud Defensive RL-100 is a rifle-mounted LED weapon light rated at 1,250 lumens and 100,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 109 yards and visual impairment out to 15 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on 18650 or CR123A and is not rechargeable. It weighs 6.9 oz in an aluminum body 6.17 inches long. Measured against the 148 weapon lights in the index, it lands on the brighter side for output (1,250 lumens), among the most intense 10 percent for beam intensity (100,000 candela), among the heaviest 10 percent for weight (6.9 oz), and on the cheaper side for price ($150). It is one of 70 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Cloud Defensive EPL Duty, the same brand's light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class, priced at $300.
