Viridian C5L-R Red Laser & TacLoc Holster

I was surprised with all of the “Green is Better” marketing Viridian has been conducting since the start of their company. Then out of nowhere, they introduce two red lasers, the Viridian C5L-R and X5L-R red lasers. Both of these can go head to head with the other red dot and flashlight combo lasers and if you know about the Viridian lasers, they offer a lot of features.

The C5L-R is the exact same size as the C5L with the green laser but it’s more than $100 dollars cheaper. Battery life is from 75 minutes (laser and light), 20 hours laser only in constant mode to a whopping 35+ hour laser only on pulse mode.

The flashlight’s beam has been changed from the standard round circle to a more flattened beam so it’s wider at the sides making it more of a wide angle beam. The flashlight emits 100 lumens when set to solid mode and increases to 140 lumens when set to strobe.

Viridian X5L-R Red Laser

The X5L-R looks just like the X5L green version but has longer battery life. The constant laser goes from 7 hours (green laser version) to 30 hours and from 10 hours (green laser version) to an incredible 45 hours in pulse laser mode. Pulse laser and light combo run for 90 minutes.

Both lasers feature a red beam that can be seen up to 25 yards in daylight and 1 mile at night The red laser can be set using a constant on mode or one of three strobe modes. The flashlight can also be set at three different brightness settings, plus you can set it to use a constant on or one of three pulse modes. Just like their Green counterparts, the laser and light settings can be combined so both the laser and light function together.

A pulsing or strobing laser beam allows your eye to see the laser dot quicker than when in solid mode. Also a pulsing beam gives you extra battery life. Installation is fast and a snap and only takes a few minutes and all of the tools are included.

Here’s a video that I made discussing and demonstrating the Viridian CRL-R and TacLoc Holster. I think you will enjoy seeing the the laser and the holster in action. Feel free to share it as well!
