SureFire XVL2
The SureFire XVL2 is a pistol-mounted LED weapon light rated at 400 lumens and 13,000 candela, with White and IR output. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 39 yards and visual impairment out to 5 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It carries an integrated green and ir aiming laser, listed with an <3 mW IR laser and a 300 mW IR illuminator. It runs on CR123A and is not rechargeable. It weighs 4.9 oz in an aluminum body 3.6 inches long. Measured against the 148 weapon lights in the index, it lands among the dimmest 10 percent for output (400 lumens), about in the middle for beam intensity (13,000 candela), on the heavier side for weight (4.9 oz), and among the most expensive 10 percent for price ($1,299). It is one of 20 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same under 500 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is SureFire XVL2 IRC, the same brand's light in the same under 500 lumen class, priced at $1,399.
