Plight PL-PRO

I have confirmed that I am not a fan of the Olight PL-Pro. I won this light during the NRA Convention in Indianapolis and I wanted to run the light in a class prior to making a final decision on the light.

After running the light in class and on duty for just over a month I come to the conclusion that the switches are too short. I can easily manipulate the switch on the TLR and the x300 without changing my hand position. The PL-Pro requires that I either rotate my hand on the grip or take my support hand off the pistol to activate the light.

The light is bright but not enough to stop using the TLR-HL I currently use. I am not a fan of having to charge the light instead of changing batteries. To safely charge the light you would have to remove it or leave a pistol laying around out of a holster, neither is an option for me.

The light mounts to the pistol with a cam arm, this concerns me as the cam could come loose if the cam was caught on a structure or caught on gear or clothing. The x300 and TLR have far superior mounting. The light seems to dim fast and the manual even says the light only produces the advertised 1500 lumens for “about” 1 minute. The manual then advises that the 1500 lumens drops to 600 lumens in 0.5 minutes. The light does have an indicator light, but it only activates when there is under 5 minutes of charge left. The light could work as a handheld, but as a weapon light it is lacking.
