[@carbonking53]

The fact the turbo fits all my current X300U light bearing holsters makes it an easy decision to buy for me.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I think it's a solid choice.

[@Stealther]

This is a HUGE selling point, one that Surefire was wise to account for.

[@ryancooper7953]

X300Ultra is more durable then the x300 Turbo. 3 reviewers so far have broken them from a shoulder height drop test.

[@2amichaelj]

And you make holsters...? There's so much to unpack here without the actual statistics. Respect to reviews who don't get free products too. Definitely earned a like and sub from me.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Wow thanks Michael. Yep. I want to help people make better decisions (with data) and this in turn should help manufacturers provide us with better products. We have a bunch of content coming, so hopefully we earn your sub!

[@OneD33pTX]

Their holsters are fantastic. I’m a bigger guy, and I carry appendix with two extra mags using their radius mag carriers, and M6 AIWB holster. I’m also taking a class with Fieldcraft Survival this weekend using their M7 OWB. Their orders are QC’d and have a handwritten “Thank you!” On the packing slip. Werkz is world class. 10/10

[@jerdog333]

Thank you!

Fantastic work, again.

[@KingNuada86]

Awesome videos. I had no idea anyone has been doing specific testing on lights. I carry streamlights and love seeing your tests.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I'm happy you found us! Up until this test I was running my TLR-1HL. We appreciate all the top tier suppliers.

[@svenskaskene199]

Great video, excellent data points.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@coffeeandlifting]

Super high quality content as usual, especially in regards to incorporating audience feedback. The "consistency" tests are especially informative. SF seems to still be putting out some really high-end lights despite the complaints that they (previously) were not focusing enough on candela.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for your positive feedback! I'm glad you find the consistency test helpful. I think a lot of people are overwhelmed with lumens & candela. I then add consistency and CRI, and I think it's hard to put those specs into context.

[@VivereLiberumSeuMori]

Great vid! Been trying do decide on my next WML, this definitely helps. By the way I really like the less aggressive "rounded" claw y'all sent me to try. Werkz great and helps with general concealment especially with jeans. God bless and stay frosty friends 🙏

[@WerkzHolsters]

I'm glad you like the new claw! We spent a lot of time looking at the squared design and figuring out how it could be better! I'm glad our videos help you make an informed decision -- one of my goals is to help everyone make a good choice on lights that will work in their scenarios!

[@Buletspunge555]

I dig it. Been resisting the urge to go with Modlight. It doesn't fit in the IDPA box. Was hoping this new X300T series would stack up! Looks pretty good! Thanks for putting in the work man!

[@WerkzHolsters]

You are most welcome. This review was a ton of work for me, but I wanted to get you the data.

[@Snapper314]

Another outstanding review & comparison! I have all of these lights (Unashamed Flashoholic) and find the X300T barely edging out the PL350 with PLHv2 head. The OKW head doesn't have enough spill for me. But ANY of these flashlights are better than not having one!

[@colbyc.6698]

Looking forward to more content and surefire might not do it first but they damn sure get it right

[@WerkzHolsters]

Lots more content coming. Seems there is a neverending flood of lights, and the bigger videos (like this) are a ton of work for me.

[@bulitfordtough9]

Great video and review. I appreciate how you break down and analyze the technical details beyond just stating them like some others do. It is important to see the differences side by side. I was suprised to see the pictures showed the X300T to be more floody than I was expecting, especially compared to the X300U. The 300U lives on my duty pistol, and I have been happy with it overall. I will admit though that this video does get me closer to picking up a Turbo, especially as it still fits in the same holsters! One thing I do wish Surefire would do is make their weaponlights compatible with rechargeable batteries. I don't enjoy having to go through disposables too much, but the pair of CR123s last me several months with my current usage so overall, it's only a minor annoyance.

[@WerkzHolsters]

David, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the U-boat. I was also surprised how much flood I got from the Turbo. However, the candela at 10 degrees between U & T are quite different (2100cd versus 280cd). The pictures don't seem to show that much difference, but I invite you to check out the data at lowlightdefense.com/ (you can read exact numbers at 5, 10, etc degrees) before making the final jump.

[@richardadkins3602]

Love the turbo

[@phillipcraddock8248]

awesome information

[@georgekirby3361]

Thank you.

[@WerkzHolsters]

You're welcome!

[@ThePimpinluigi]

Great info as always. Starting to see these lights being in stock. It was smart to keep the same size as the ultra. Now only if they make it able to switch batteries without removing it. Now all that is left is stream light and cloud defense to join in. Don’t see the urge to buy them yet. Ultra will do me fine for now. But the temptation is real with this light.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I love seeing what manufacturers come up with. Looking forward to the CD light, and if Streamlight comes out with new offerings I'm sure they'll be a hit as well.

[@davidhartley6232]

Thank you for the review! ...and mad props to a competing holster company sending you four examples of the new Surefire! 😲👍

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yeah, it's always a pleasure to interact with T-Rex.

[@wessowell6616]

My X300 Turbo just showed up today! Excited to do some low light training with it this weekend. I have several ultras and TLR1 HL’s that I’ll have to compare it to.

[@samueljasso3203]

how would you describe the flood of the turbo with in 100 feet ? debating on using the ultra or the turbo for use on duty as an officer in an urban enviornment

[@mattbunn12301]

Had too many issues with my modlite pistol lights. Switched both out for the turbos. Thanks surefire for making it to 2019

[@WerkzHolsters]

Heh.

[@Murphy82nd]

May I ask what issues you had?

[@eddiearchuleta615]

Very nice info I still love my Tlr1hl for overall workhorses and my Modlite due to the modularity and ease of battery change on all my long barrel pistols due to having good stand off especially with 5 inch threaded barrels

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I agree the TLR-1HL is a strong light, as is the PL350 with the interchangeable heads.

[@colbyc.6698]

Thanks

[@WerkzHolsters]

You are most welcome!

[@Daniellahehehe]

Always enjoy these reviews. Any news when the Cloud entry will be coming out?

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for the positive feedback! I don't have any new intel on the CD light. I'm anxious to see it as well!

[@mirandacosgrove472]

Just ordered one. Also shed tear for my wallet. Looking forward to the smile on my face when it’s delivered.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yeah, they're pricey, but I think we've come to expect that from SF...

[@Steven_M.]

I always appreciate your professional and unbiased content! Just curious if you’ve gotten any numerical data from the Olight Valkyrie Turbo (the l.e.p. pistol offering)?

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for your positive feedback! And yes definitely we have some Turbo data, both in video form, and on LLD: www.lowlightdefense.com/olight-valkyrie-turbo-more-candela-than-modlite/

[@WerkzHolsters]

@@Steven_M. Blessings to you and yours as well!

[@robsawyer2081]

Great video! I enjoy all the “geeky” information. You are filling a need that I have not found on other channels. I prefer the more narrow 18350 battery compared to running dual battery set up. My concern is holster coverage of the trigger.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yes, more narrow lights do allow the holster to come in tighter to the trigger guard. I think we'll see a lot more 18350 battery driven lights in the future. Thanks for your feedback!

[@777luckyme]

Wow the trigger coverage from having a bigger light never even crossed my mind I’m coming from a Tlr 7A that’s a big change in size

[@codevox]

Thank you so much.. i will buy the Turbo instead of the Ultra for my p226 zev!

[@JEJAK5396]

Can’t wait till Surefire figures out a way to use an 18650 in a pistol light, or two 18350’s.

[@G19Jeeper]

I have one of your OWB weaponlight holsters. I’d have one for every gun if it wasn’t so bulky. Great quality holster, just big

[@WerkzHolsters]

I agree that the M7 is bulky. It was designed in large part due to customers who wanted something that works with their Safariland attachments.. We are actively working on a OWB solution that is much more concealable... stay tuned!

[@G19Jeeper]

@@WerkzHolsters sweet! It’ll give me a good excuse to upgrade a few I’m running now

[@charles17508]

not to say I don't like the holsters because I'll try one soon im a big fan of t rex armes holsters and there lead time but heard your lead times are short to good job man .

[@thebogwalker]

How does surefire’s turbo and ultra output change or not change when using the rechargeable vs disposable cr123 batteries?

[@Quad_Balanced]

I was comparing these two and couldn’t figure the difference. Thanks. Really Looking forward to the release of the Xr1 and Xr2 and insight??

[@WerkzHolsters]

I would love to see the XR lights! I'm glad you find the video useful!

[@christopherrobin8134]

A cool tool on low light defense would be a decision matrix for known options. Let people apply a priority weight towards certain factors (lumens, candela, run time, etc.) and see which option scores highest based on their priorities.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I like it! I'm still working on loading data into a database so that people can sort that way. Your suggestion would take it to the next level!

[@christopherrobin8134]

@@WerkzHolsters Hope it helps! Shouldn’t be too bad to implement either. Establishing the database is probably the hardest part.

[@Chretze]

Does it have any battery safety circuits built in? Does it work with 3.7V li ion rechargeable batteries, or would they fry it?

[@ucanon2662]

Sir, have you done a video on the topic of rechargeable CR123 style batteries? Thank you.

[@DistrictSoundLab]

Curious where the PLH5K head fits in. That one made the most sense to me for the PL350. So far running great but def haven’t had to run it for 30min straight

[@WerkzHolsters]

We have a video comparing the 3 Modlite heads.

[@minasmandalenakis438]

So the colour temperature of the new x300 turbo lights is cool white? Is it cooler white than tlr 1 HL??

[@M1911jln]

I'll be sticking with my Streamlight TLR-7a for carry -- it's a decent light that is so much smaller. I have a X300U that I keep on a competition gun. I might decide to press that into home defense gun duty. I'm undecided as to whether I will replace the X300U with an X300T.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I like the TLR-7A. It tests out quite well for a midsize light. For that matter, the Sub tests out the same. What I've experienced as the guy on the other end of the light is that candela makes a difference in my ability to see the operator and what they're doing.

[@OneD33pTX]

I’m the same boat. Think I’m gonna throw the x300ub on my backpack 300 blk. Keep running the tlr 7 on my g19. But, I’m gonna need a new G5 G17 to go with this new x-300T. Wife‘ll never know! 😈

[@alexnguyen889]

Is their a size different between the ultra and the turbo?

[@wonkachocolates6133]

Why do some lenses get 'frosty' with really hot burn times and NOT mounted on a firearm..??

[@spektr540hemi]

X300 T...Excellent switch operation...PHLster switch mod makes them even better, IMO. Momentary. 123 batteries are FAR easier to acquire in the wild !! The Modlite is Sexy looking and works well with the OKW head... X300 Turbo, switches, MOMENTARY, battery commonality, performance...= WINNER !!

[@mckadehansen7352]

*talks about technical specs that I barely follow along with* "Now we're going to get geeky"

[@WerkzHolsters]

Geeky to extra-geeky! :)

[@countryfamilyalways7280]

Great vid. Idk were talking light output so imo that okw smokes it from 0 thru 30 seconds... I can live without momentary ... But with that being said I don't care for the huge heads on the modlite and hope CD comes out with something like modlite with a single battery design that is narrower then the 300T dual battery setup..... I won't buy a dual battery design and im sure more will follow in Modlites footsteps on that I'd bet.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for sharing. I think we'll see more 18350 style lights, and I'm also anticipating what Cloud Defensive might provide. I have bags of CR123A batteries, so I don't mind using them. Yes, I agree that wide lights and big bezels require larger holsters. Slim lights mean the whole holster can be slimmer.

[@opposingforce693]

I'm confused. I watched your review of the Olight PL3 and you ripped it for dropping off from its peak output after a minute and a half (if I recall correctly). This light does the same thing, but this is your next weapon light? What am I missing?

[@JEJAK5396]

This isn’t an Olight.

[@SgtGoose1327]

This is a lot of awesome information. How does it stack up to the TLR1HL?

[@WerkzHolsters]

I like both of those lights. I'm currently running the X300T instead of the TLR-1HL for the reasons in the video.

[@Xmus_Jaxon_Flaxon_Waxon]

Can you do a comparison video on the streamlight TLR-1 HL vs the x300 turbo ? I ask because in a previous comparison video of many lights you choose the TLR-1 HL over the x300 ultra due to candela being greater on the TLR-1 HL. I’d like to see the overall comparison of the x300t vs TLR1-HL please & thank you!

[@WerkzHolsters]

I'm still working on having my "hall of fame" data on LowLightDefense.com, which would then be updated as new lights come out. I will say that in this video (my most recent as of this comment), I swapped out the TLR-1HL for the X300T (sample No. 3).

[@Xmus_Jaxon_Flaxon_Waxon]

@@WerkzHolsters thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I book marked your website and will refer to it in the future. And good choice swapping back over to surefire with the x300t over the TLR-1HL but I do own both.

[@WerkzHolsters]

@@Xmus_Jaxon_Flaxon_Waxon My pleasure! Hopefully our data can be a resource for you!

[@WaterZer0]

As far as I'm concerned, the king is still the TLR-1 HL. The modlite failed in your torture test, and I've seen one person's rail key sheer off like yours did in the test. Would not trust that especially at over 300$. The candela on this surefire is a sight to err not behold since it might blind you lol. Great video as always!

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for your feedback! I agree the TLR_1HL is a solid light, and I wouldn't hesitate to run again!

[@mccroryshealthandfitness7242]

I like it, BUT the Modlite still won me over simply because of the narrow light channel, rechargeable batteries, swapping them out without taking the light off, and the fact they're coming out with more heads in the future and surefire stuck with the integrated head that cant be interchanged.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Your logic makes sense to me! I certainly appreciate the ability to swap batteries out the front by unscrewing the bezel.

[@ThomasShue]

I wish you compared this to the Valkyrie Turbo LEP light!

[@WerkzHolsters]

I think I have a video on the Valkyrie Turbo. LEP is indeed a different beast altogether...

[@ThomasShue]

@@WerkzHolsters I prefer the LEP to all of my other types of white light. The problem is None of the top holster makers I embrace Olight. It’s it’s not a SF 300U or a Stream light they aren’t developing it. And I do have a Werks Holster but it’s not like the way my T1, SlimFit, Alien, or Safariland locks in the gun/light to the holster. No disrespect intended

[@DYang01]

Lumens and candela specs sounds alot like okw. I'm willing to bet they're using the same emitter. Osram W1

[@WerkzHolsters]

Very well could be. I'm not a LED expert, so your input is valuable here...

[@j.n.8745]

I just picked up the Turbo-A. I carry the handheld OKW. I was on night shift and compared both lights side by side To me, the hot spot on both appear to be the same I need a level3 holster for the Turbo and a Glock 21/iron sights. Any suggestions on holster? Thanks

[@WerkzHolsters]

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that the beams are -very- similar between the Turbo and OKW. As for Level 3 holsters, my go to for active retention is Safariland.

[@samueljasso3203]

on duty which do you feel is better to use. i like the thought of using a light with alot of flood in case of multiple people i can see everyone at the same time but im worried about tinted cars and engaging a target from longer distances. im going to go with the turbo since it can penetrate through other lights but worried im makimg a mistake what would you recommend?

[@j.n.8745]

@@samueljasso3203 The OKW is best suited for situations where extreme throw is needed. If you want a balance of flood and throw, then I would go with the PLHv2 light. For use with handheld, I use the Thyrm Switchback. The switchback is an excellent add on. It allows me to grab my handheld from my vest with my index finger. The OKW allows me to penetrate most photonic barriers. The Surfire weapon light gives me far reaching and tight beam. Very good at distance. All of these are out of my own pocket. All lights issued to me for duty are inferior and do not meet my standards. It is my life and those I work alongside. It is worth the investment for your safety and it will always be yours ti use after you retire. Also, I have to search large areas: shorelines, waterways, open lots and construction sites, residential alarms. It gives me the advantage.

[@RoshGG]

you were drinking Fernet Branca with Coke ? great video!

[@Osprey1994]

Due to the issues with Modlite which extend to more than just their poor QC on their PML I never considered them the king. The TLR1-HL is great in throw and flood and lights up targets inside 100yds well. The new Surefire is something that might be a great competitor, and I will keep an eye on it until Cloud Defensive comes out with their light. PS. I have a Modlite OKW on the main squeeze, I know they can make good lights. BUT there are other issues which made me decide not to purchase their products again.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Appreciate your input! I like to keep an eye on issues with lights, so feel free to share by emailing me at lab at werkz.com. Note that it's just a collector email; I won't reply.

[@chltmdwp]

What issues?

[@mcmehlen]

Do you guys have a universal tlr7 sub holster?

[@WerkzHolsters]

We fit our holsters to exact pistol and light combinations. We do support a number of different pistols with the Sub. Check it out at werkz.com/

[@GldenRetriever]

My biggest gripe with the turbo is it doesn't use rechargable batteries. Until companies start using them, I'm sticking with my okw.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I suspect we'll continue to see more 18350 battery lights. They can supply current necessary for modern high output lights.

[@ThePimpinluigi]

Surefire makes their own rechargeable batteries. Special 123 batteries. They are not 18350 batteries. I believe they do not produce as much power but I’ll take that then buying more batteries.

[@WerkzHolsters]

@@ThePimpinluigi Maybe I should compare output over time with their rechargeables... hmmm...

[@ThePimpinluigi]

Why not. Can get them on Amazon. Not that expensive. On my Surefire lights I use them. Just makes sense to me to use rechargeable.

[@project86xero]

The Streamlight TLR1-HL and TLR7A are still my favorite pistol lights because of the switches. However the quick release attachment system on the Surefire is convenient and it is what I use for my edc because I prefer a handheld light when I carry, but I put on the surefire at home. Although I prefer surefire rifle lights like the 640DF far more than the streamlight models. However the HL-X is decent option, if not a little bulky.

[@eparch2144]

When are you going to start making holsters for G20s?

@@WerkzHolsters Thanks. I have one of your holsters for my G45. I asked about getting one for my G20. Someone at Werkz told me it was forthcoming (I won't provide exact quote). I like SureFire quality, just wish they had a laser option closer to the muzzle. X400 laser below the light isn't a good option IMHO. Despite dubious quality, I will probably just buy an Olight with laser until Surefire gets their design act together ... unless anyone knows of a better option?

[@WerkzHolsters]

@@eparch2144 Yep... same answer here. Working on it, but don't have an exact launch date.

[@Croak1]

Good news, the PL350 is hitting the used market in greater quantity and much more reasonable prices now. Lets see what Streamlight does to compete at the lower end of the price scale now. I'd love to have something (nearly as) PL350/X300T good, with the TLR-1 form factor and switches.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I would very much like to see a higher candela output TLR-1 from Streamlight. TLR-1Turbo? TLR-1Extreme? Or maybe the step it up even more and give us something using a 18350 battery?

Does the X300 turbo fit the Glock 19 Gen 5.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Yep! We offer holsters for it.

[@Quarternewt]

I am extremely skeptical of using a gun light as a pain compliance weapon. What if a guy charges you when you were expecting him to be dazzled? You might be at a very close distance to him, and the moment it takes you to re-evalute the situtation, he's already on top of you. Pain compliance should only be used when there is no imminent threat, it's not your first line of defense against an imminent threat.

[@WerkzHolsters]

I think we'll see more lights taking rechargeables, including 18350.

[@Buletspunge555]

I've been using rechargeable Surefire brand 123 batteries in my main x300UA for 3 or 4 months now. The set hadn't drained dead in that time. For what it's worth.

[@Stealther]

I was wondering when this video was going to come out! I contemplated this light but I feel that for a pistol mounted light I want more flood. I have my handheld Modlight OKW for throw if I need reach or light domination. To me I think if you’re using a pistol mounted light it’s likely the only light you’re going to be using AT THAT MOMENT and because of that having a light with flood is more useful for pistol engagement ranges. The X300U-B will remain on my pistols. Just my thought process.

[@WerkzHolsters]

My thought is that I want reasonable flood and max candela. I wouldn't do a straight LEP with a super narrow angle. When viewing the comparison pictures between the "floody" X300U versus the "throwy" X300T in this video, I think the Turbo does a good job at flood. The candela at angle data shows at 10 degrees the X300U is about 2100cd, and the X300T is only 280cd, but it seems that there is still enough flood to see the areas around including the beams and the table to camera right. Regardless, well done carrying a handheld plus a pistol light! You're in a rare crowd with that level of preparedness. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!

[@Stealther]

@@WerkzHolsters ​ after reading your reply I went back to review the footage and you’re right. At least in this example,the flood seems closer to the x300U than the data would have you believe. Maybe I’ll add a Turbo the collection to compare firsthand. I appreciate your scientific approach to providing the public with actual data we can use to make informed purchases!

[@WerkzHolsters]

@@Stealther It's my pleasure, and I very much appreciate engaging with folks who have their on valuable experiences and insights. Thank you!

[@Blankford777]

The fact that SF still hasn't jumped to 18350 is embarrassing.

[@Zel_eo]

It's was easier to find cr123 in foreign countries that we were fighting in than 18350. Same reason Eotech runs on it. The military could source them locally if need be. Now that the wars are over RD will probably be working on designs using better batteries. I pray every day for a longer battery life eotech lol.

@@WerkzHolsters The DG switch lets you use your weapon light one handed if you are wounded or need to hang on to something. You activate the switch with your middle finger. I thought the concept was silly, but it works really well. The bad news is added cost, and if you run a retention holster it will eventually tear up the switch so use tape or heat shrink to protect the wire.

I have no idea whether you’re right or wrong about the lights (I suspect you’re very right). But I know you’re WRONG about the 19X. (I kid, I kid…mostly. At least it’s not a Sig ) Thanks for the video. Very well done, and I have a lot to learn.

[@WerkzHolsters]

Ha! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's not a Sig. We do have a lot of friends and family running Sigs... :)

For what they charge for it, hard pass!

[@WerkzHolsters]

It's definitely up there on price!

I ask myself if any manufacturers plan on using the "new" Osram LEDs like the CSLNM1.TG or CULPM1.TG (yes, Osram's model names are a mouthful). They offer absolutely insane candela ratings even in small reflectors, but unlike LEPs, they are not exclusively pigeonholed in throw and actually offer a measure of wide-angled spill. Just food for thought. Thank you guys for another great production! I'm not American, I have extremely limited access to firearms and doubt I'll purchase a holster for a pistol w/ light for the foreseeable future, but I share the "flashlight turbonerd" angle with y'all and these reviews and comparisons are genuinely fun to watch. You bet I'm subbed! Now, a suggestion: how do mounted lights synergise with _revolvers?_ And how does it behave with holsters? Because I myself rarely ever see a revolver with a mounted gunlight despite wandering a lot trough gun channels and other such social media.

Sounds like I could use a good LED "state of the industry" overview -- you obviously know a lot more than I do in this area. Sorry to hear you're in an area where firearms aren't as available. I think there may be picatinny rail adapters for some revolvers so you can mount a light, but I'm not an expert there either. Blessings!
