Viridian Reactor R5 Gen 2 Tactical Light and Holster

The media could not be loaded.  A brighter light would be nice, but it's decent, and how much do others expect in a small package. Want a full size light, get a full size gun.That being said, it is pretty true to 100 lumens. It doesn't throw the light very far but in a dark house or 40ft in the dark outside, it works well. Not a gun meant for distance anyway.Reason I got it was for the lcp max, knowing it's similar, I took a chance. It fits great on the gun and both fit the holster. Higher sights are a bit snug for the first little bit of use, but the leather loosens up and fits very well. A good quality holster and can be left or right handed too.

Really not understanding the negative reviews on here. This light is plenty bright. Adds a tiny bit of weight up front which helps the gun feel less snappy. Includes two sets of batteries.Comes with holster in brown leather, not black as the photos suggest, but very functional. Comfortable holster for IWB and pocket carry (has a lip that keeps it oriented properly in pocket and allows you draw from pocket snag free with proper technique). OEM belt clip is a bit bulky, I changed to one with a slimmer profile from an older holster.

Didn't even know they made a light for this gun. I love it, and it's decently bright!

I am disappointed in this light, debating on returning it, but options are slim.There is one power button on here. On, strobe, off. It activates based on a magnet in the DeSantis (which is not what was pictured) holster. No way to turn this on in a hurry, the button is basically recessed. Quite overpriced for what it is.The positive is the profile is much better than the CT version, which is quote bulky for a little gun. I have this on the Lite Rack LCP II.The light is also quite dim. I wasn’t expecting much based on the description and something IS better than nothing.Overall, this needs a better switch if you want to use a slim holster AND want activate quickly. The price is not worth it, but the over form and fit are quite well, plus it comes with 4 batteries.

Purchased this for the ruger lcp max 380 and it was not even close to fitting.

Shamefully weak light. I thought maybe the batteries were almost dead. I tool them out checked them with a voltage meter. 3.25V & 3.28V. OMG! The light is almost worthless. 1 notch above using a cigarette lighter to see.

Man this is a very nice flash light for your gun but just to let y’all know go for the laser and flash light one because it is well worth it I didn’t log on to see those till I already bought flashlight

I just received my viridan rtl light for my xds 3.3 9mm. Let me start by saying the xds is my daily off-duty carry. I really wanted a light for my xds ever since my department issued us a weapon mounted light and finding out how useful it is. I chose the RTL due to it slim and compact design, and also the lumens.The light:PROS: The light is well constructed and feels very sturdy attached to the gun. I do want to note the light attaches to the trigger and the rail. Looks good on the gun. I feel no weight difference or front-heavy feel to the gun since mounting. The light works very well. It will light up a room since it has the “radiance” lighting. There is no central or hot spot with the light. It’s bright enough, and I can’t see needing anymore. It is for a ccw and it’s not like I’d be trying to make a 25 yard with this weapon in a real life scenario. It is simple to install. When the light activates, it has a positive electronic “hum” like turning on a 800 lumen LED flashlight.CONS: if I was not using a holster with the instant on technology, the toggle switch is difficult to manipulate. It’s obviously a small switch, but the flaw is that it is recessed. I understand the design. If had a switch on it like a stream light TLR7, it would probably get switched on accidentally when carrying, especially IWB. Next would be the actual light. While plenty bright and disperses very well, it has a slight bit of “surging.” It will get a small amount brighter then back to the norm. Again, this is very,very slight. It does not discourage me at all.The holster:PROS: the holster is lightweight and suede (with some reinforcing plastic). Looking at a previous review, I did not have the issue of the holster staying attached to the gun upon drawing. I’m not sure if the guy was wearing sweatpants, no belt, or just did not attach the holster correctly. The clip goes around your jeans (or pants) and there is a small hook which links to the underside of your belt. It has adjustable height and cant. It feels very comfortable compared to a kydex holster. I do appendix carry and this iHolster is much more comfortable when sitting. The instant on is awesome! Draw and it’s on. Reholster and it turns off. Amazing feature.CONS: The holster is definitely not going to last years. I feel like it’s going to eventually stretch, loosing form and it’s little bit of retention. My concern is during the summer months. High humidity, high heat, and sweat. It’s going to absorb into the holster and you can figure out the rest. I would have paid more to have a solid holster design option, like kydex. I could get one made, but then I lose the instant on feature.
