Damn, that is one bright little light. Wide enough beam too. Nice.

Keep the light reviews coming, it is something I have really gotten into the habit of regularly carrying.

Cool light. You're right about lights, you always need them. .

Nice light! I just bought the XT2C. Klarus is a great light! Good vid!

I agree that a knife and light are important to EDC. I use both everyday. I'm 57 and as my eyes keep deteriorating a light has become very important to me so I have several around and am a big fan of headlamps. Excellent vid and keep, as the English would say, the "torch" vids coming.

nice light thanks for the review, keep up the great work, like your vids.

I agree with your two most useful EDC tools. I use my little lights all the time. My single AA Thorfire quit on me a few weeks back, just I was getting ready to use it working on my van. I've been looking for a replacement ever since. I don't think this will be it. I don't like the batteries nor that switch.

Hey great reviews, keep up the good work!

CR123a(non rechargeable) and RCR123a(rechargeable) are both 16340. 16340 is the dimensions of the battery. (16)=Diameter in millimetres and (340)=length in millimetres from positive to negative.

I carry a Klarus MI7 clipped onto my Maxpedition single pouch along with my Wave and bit kit with extension, I call it my tool box on my hip.

Oh holy shed, bless us all with your fading paint, and musty interior.

looks cool 👍 i am waiting on the new olight m1r with the 18350 battery, that one looks even cooler 😊

I used to be into the smaller lights but now I find that an 18650 light is like you say, easier to keep track of but also higher output, longer runtime in the lower mode's and easier to hold because you can have a much better purchase on a larger light...

That video you had up earlier, I bought one of those lights last night. I hope I wasn't the one who made them stockless. Mine is coming Friday or sooner.

Mark.... Awesome post Chris. I can see both lights attached to molle on bug out bag. Laughing...also liked your fixed blade, although a folder guy myself. Requesting pack reviews...or even military surplus bag. Large ones to haul dressed out game...

OK...I will research it and them see what you have to say...

i wish they would have made that pocket clip ride lower so less of the tailcap would stick out of your pocket. im about to give up on deep carry clips. i must be a weirdo! looks like a great little light.

Great video but one thing... Unless your need is to have an SOS strobe readily available leave Klarus lights in tactical mode... Power on with the main button then cycle through brightness levels with the secondary. This lets you use it for those day to day tasks where you only need the low output but still keeps the defensive strobe available at a single press. Again, great video! But outdoor mode? Nope... Not unless you're camping

Thanks for the review. I agree on the smaller battery. I do run 14500 in my ThruNite 1A V3, for the extra light output, but everything else is 18650. I tried to watch your Atactical 1AS and KZread lists it as "Private". I went to your videos list and it shows a number of your videos that I have watched in the past as private also. is there a fix?

NICE VIDEO THANKS FRIEND

just got one of these over a week ago, its a GREAT light guys go check it out if you need a good for everything light

Worth mentioning that they changed this to an electronic main switch instead of the mechanical forward clicky that the previous generation of the xt1c and the xt2c and xt11s have. Basically no momentary on anymore. Also, I had major issues with this light accidentally being switched on in my pocket because of this sensitive new switch. I wanted to love this light but I had to stop carrying it because of this. Too many red hot pocket moments!

You do excellent reviews and your sense of dry humor keeps me subscribed😀

Why Ya doin another flashlight?? a lot of folks say. I say, I like what You do and bring on the flashlight reviews. Oh, and knives too, of course.

cr123 are 3.0v and usually 1500mah. 16340 (aka rcr123) are 3.7v and like 700mah. a flashlight like this will need a good high drain 16340 to hit the 700 lumens. not many on the market right now. the cr123 has better range of operating temperatures and longer shelf life. 16340 will be brighter with less capacity and will self drain over time, especially in high temps.

I have a handheld light as well as a light on my gun

Good video! I use an UltraFire 8000lm five mode with a 18650 battery. I bought a rechargeable 9800mah battery with charger and have had very good luck with it. Are you familiar with this flashlight? Oh! I bought it on eBay (BUY NOW) minus battery and charger for $5.99 with free shipping,

You remind me of Titus Welliver from “Bosch”

This one's way to complex for a dummy like me. When a need light, I just want the darn thing to come on. Good review though (as usual) Mr. Tanner.

Randy Yeager That makes three of us. The compact-ness does not make up for the lack of battery life. And as Chris said, easy to lose. Heck, the two torches I most regret buying are the Olights S10R and S1, both CR123.

I use a light like this all the time for a min or 2, if I need light for longer I bust out a 26650 R50 pro. Don’t get me wrong I love these little guys and don’t leave home with out it ( I know, an American Express commercial ) I have an EC11 ❤️ it. 👍🇺🇸🧀🔦

Dude....easy with those energy drinks. It looks like you were in San Andreas movie

I don't own a Klarus. This may be the first

I come to your channel for flashlights. Make more vids.

You failed to show how it does when using to baton or feather a hunk of wood.

PREPAREDMIND101 cool just ordered for $32.62 that's not a bad deal for a small thrower! Thanks Chris!!

they should sell it with a charger. mine can't do that strange type of battery. bought it for 14500 and 18650 and the normal stuff... also the switch is not practical, the way I carry my lamps I would constantly engage it and drain the battery before I know.

Looks like a good size to clip on the bill of a hat.

Alex Banks I would not have thought of that. Good idea.

If it won't work after I throw it on the pavement, I don't want it 😂

I love the UI on the XT11S and figured this would be a cool little light. but after playing for just a few min this has no tactical application at all. Since it has no momentary(really).... the button only wants to work if gripped perfectly. Don't try to hit the button if it's oriented in your hand any other way than the main button at 6 oclock. great review but very disappointed. I should have know nothing can beat my E1D.

Leslie Kovacs, In my opinion, if you ever plan on using the strobe feature on a flashlight, it has to be instant access. If you have to turn on your light then hold the mode button for three seconds (like on my atactical A1), then it will be too late. Don't get me wrong, I am loving the A1 so far, I just don't see myself ever using the strobe.

Rather have an Olight S1R or S2R.... Much easier to operate. Moonlight. Better Strobe.

strobe is great for annoying neice's and nephew's

too much money for what it is
