SureFire XC3
The SureFire XC3 is a pistol-mounted LED weapon light rated at 550 lumens and 7,200 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 29 yards and visual impairment out to 4 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on Rechargeable Li-Ion. It weighs 2.1 oz in an aluminum body 2.4 inches long. Measured against the 148 weapon lights in the index, it lands in the dimmest quarter for output (550 lumens), in the least intense quarter for beam intensity (7,200 candela), among the lightest 10 percent for weight (2.1 oz), and on the pricier side for price ($299). It is one of 54 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class.
