Nitecore NPL27
The Nitecore NPL27 is a pistol-mounted LED weapon light rated at 650 lumens and 10,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 34 yards and visual impairment out to 4 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on Rechargeable Li-Ion. It weighs 2.6 oz in an aluminum body 2.6 inches long. Measured against the 148 weapon lights in the index, it lands on the dimmer side for output (650 lumens), on the less intense side for beam intensity (10,000 candela), in the lightest quarter for weight (2.6 oz), and among the least expensive 10 percent for price ($75). It is one of 54 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Nitecore NPL25, the same brand's light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class, priced at $80.
