PL-3R Valkyrie Rechargeable Tactical Light, 1500 Lumens Rail-Mounted Weaponlight, LED Flashlight with Built-in Battery, Rail Locating Keys for 1913 Picatinny, GL Style

To put this in perspective, I normally go all out on everything having to do with my weapons. So buying a sub $100 weapon light is definitely out of my normalcy. First and my favorite part is the quick magnetic charger, no more removing light to change batteries (which was something I was looking for in a pistol light) It is mounted on my G19 and it fits perfectly! It's extremely snug and doesn't more at all, as well as being incredibly easy to install. I haven't taken it outside to see the delivery of the light to my trees. Inside the house (which is what I bought it for) it work great with not any issues with flash back and blinding me as well as someone breaking in. The hot spot is great and the flood is perfect. It's really a awesome light, glad I didn't spend 300. There are several different lighting modes, such as low and high and strobing. You can also decide whether you want it to be press and hold for the light to stay on or one tap and I'd like to stay on It's just really a quality built amazing product in such a little package!! Now I can't comment on any battery life situation as I have not had it long enough, If the battery life becomes an issue I will update my review and if anything becomes a problem I will definitely come back here and let everyone know but as of now I'm blown away!!

A great weapon light that recharges quickly and fit my Tisas PX-9 Tac Raptor perfectly. Easy to energize the beam without breaking my grip and very bright. A great rechargeable light that fits perfectly and is simple to operate, this purchase was a winner!

Let me start out by saying I don’t think I have ever left a review on anything before really. But this thing is great!!! I have a holster that will accept a TLR-1, but I wanted to try this one out because of the wireless charging. It fits great in the safariland as if it were made to accept it, they did a great job at getting the dimensions close to the competitors, so you don’t have to get another holster for it. I’m really glad I did! Unfortunately, when I bought it I paid full pop for it, but it was worth the $100! I saw yesterday the Baldr pro r was on sale, but forgot to order it, so when it goes on sale again I will definitely be ordering it. I’m a huge fan of this light. It has two brightness settings, and on the brightest setting I think it stays continuously bright for about 20 min of use, then dims out just a little bit. However, it’s still bright. It charges really quick and has a magnetic charger so you don’t have to remove it to charge it, just throw it on the counter and wait a little bit. The charger will glow red for charging, and glow green when it’s fully charged. I had seen good and bad reviews, but I wanted to try it out for myself. The biggest reason was I liked the switch and the charging. The switch is really great, has some tactile feedback, and is ambi. Also if you have a P320 M17/18 it matches the slide really well! It’s not exact by any means, but it’s close enough to look really sharp! I also like the way it attaches to the rail. You can loosen the clasp, and then push it in to fit it on either rail, then Al you do is turn it to tighten and lock it in place. It hasn’t come loose for the past month. It also came with adapter for different rail usage. I would recommend it to anyone interested, or curious! As of today, the 12th, it’s on sale I believe. You can get this light for half of what a TLR-1 HL will run you. Quit reading these reviews and debating it, just order it!

As someone who owns multiple weapon lights, I can say the OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie is one of the best value tactical lights I’ve used in this price range. Brightness & Performance: This thing is bright. At 1500 lumens on high, it lights up everything in front of you with a tight, focused beam and solid spill. Perfect for low-light training, home defense, or duty use. The strobe mode is intense and disorienting—definitely a plus for defensive scenarios. Rechargeable Convenience: The built-in rechargeable battery is a game changer. No more fumbling with CR123s or carrying spares. The magnetic USB charging cable is slick and charges fast. Great for regular use or tossing on the charger between shifts or range trips. Build Quality: As with all OLIGHT products I’ve used, the PL-3R is extremely well-built. The aluminum housing is tough, water-resistant, and has survived a couple of rough drops without issue. The quick-detach mount locks on tight to my Glock 19 and AR pistol rail—no wiggle, no hassle. Switching & Controls: The dual rear paddles are responsive and easy to activate, whether you're right- or left-handed. You can choose between constant on, momentary, or strobe depending on how you press. It feels intuitive and fast once you get the muscle memory down. Pros: ✅ Extremely bright with solid throw and spill ✅ Magnetic USB charging – no battery swaps ✅ Tough construction, good fit & finish ✅ Easy-to-use ambidextrous controls ✅ Strobe mode for tactical use ✅ Fits most Picatinny and Glock-style rails Cons: ➖ Not the cheapest option—but you get what you pay for ➖ No brightness adjustment (just high and strobe) ➖ Slightly bulkier than ultra-compact lights Bottom Line: The OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie is a top-tier choice for anyone needing a durable, rechargeable weapon light that performs under pressure. Whether you're on the range, on duty, or just want reliable illumination at home, this light delivers. Highly recommended.

WOW! What a great light for the money! Have it mounted to a Remington 870 Police Issue 12ga pump. First off, it is bright AF! I don't have a way of measuring lumens, but it sure has heck LOOKS like 1500 lumens to me. And, after all, that's what really matters. Secondly - they put some REAL thought into how it operates: Love love love the recharge cord! Magnetically attaches to the outside of the light so you can just keep it plugged in at all times. If you need to grab your weapon in a hurry, just grab it and go. The magnet disconnects and you have a light that is fully charged. No more swapping batteries. No more dead or weak battery just when you need it the most. Want an off/off function like a regular flashlight? No problem, click either side button (for left or right handed operation) once - on. Click again - off. Just like you'd expect. Want a momentary on function? No problem, press and hold either button. The light stays on as long as you hold it. And when you release? IT GOES OFF! (wonderful) Want a strobe function? Forget counting the clicks like those cheesy cheap flashlights. Press both buttons at the same time and it strobes. Strobe stays on until you press either button again. It does not support a paddle switch but I didn't want one of those. Highly recommend.

Battery Life is pretty good. Never noticed it running hot. Was a little finicky to get it to run through the different settings. Running it on a Glock 19 Gen 5. Fitment is great, reach feels good, buttons are clicky and responsive. Feels like OLight has fixed a lot of the errors they had with previous models, however there is one big issue. Holster support is very much lacking. I was fortunate enough to find one iwb holster that supports this light/pistol combo on here but if you're wanting any sort of owb holster or a specific kind of iwb fit, you're more than likely going to have to go the custom holster route. If this light had more holster support I believe it'd be much more popular than it is currently.

I’ve been using the OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie for several months now, and it continues to impress me. The 1500-lumen output is incredibly bright when needed, providing excellent visibility in any situation. The rechargeable battery holds its charge well—even after repeated use, I haven’t had any issues with power. The build quality is outstanding. It feels solid and durable, perfect for a rail-mounted weapon light. The design is sleek and functional, and the color looks fantastic on my setup. Mounting was simple, and the controls are intuitive for quick activation. Pros: Super bright 1500 lumens for excellent visibility Rechargeable battery holds charge for months of use Extremely durable and well-built Sleek design and great color finish Easy to mount and operate Cons: None so far Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance tactical light, the OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie is an excellent choice. Bright, tough, and rechargeable—everything you need in a weapon light. Highly recommended!

I added this light to a Skinner Sights rail under my Mini-14 barrel, attached to the gas block. It's very pretty, and the bronze color matches my wood stock. The light is made for a handgun, but it is exactly the right size and brightness for my rifle. Too many people today are running around with so much tacticool gadgets on their weapons they become slow and cumberson. This light is sleek and erognomic. You don't need another pet peeve of mine, a wire with a paddle switch. Slide your off hand up to the rear mounted switch and off you go
