Mounting a tactical light can absolutely give shooters a critical advantage.💪
It is common for self-defense shootings to occur in low-light or completely dark settings.
And in these conditions, it is obviously very difficult to fully identify your target before shooting.
In other words,
you are increasing the chances of missing your target and potentially handing the advantage to them.
With so much at stake, it is quite necessary to mount a tactical light on your gun. Before mounting the tactical light, it is crucial to find a suitable tactical light for your firearms.
To deal with this issue, let’s go through the characteristics that define a high-quality tactical light to choose the best one.
How to choose the tactical light?
✅Compatibility for firearms
✅Brightness and range
✅Easy to use
✅Compact and Lightweight
✅Affordable Price
✅Batteries with long life
✅Durability
When picking a suitable tactical light, several factors need to be taken into consideration.
👉One of the most important factors should be the compatibility of the firearm since you need to measure whether the light works for the gun. It is highly recommended to choose a tactical light that is compatible with different firearms.
👉Secondly, brightness also is highly important with regard to the effectiveness of the light. When you are looking for a tactical light, make sure to find one with a high lumen count.
👉Another key point to consider before purchasing a tactical light is to ensure that it is easy to use.
👉Nobody wants to get a tactical light that is hard to turn on and off because this will ruin the experience and it could also be dangerous if you use your GLOCK® to help protect yourself.
👉To get the most out of the light, it’s better to select a tactical light that is lightweight and compact.
👉Moreover, an affordable price and long-life batteries will maximize the benefit you get from the light you choose.
👉Finally, remember to check its durability which has a close relationship with reliability. A good tactical light should last you for many months, as it is robust and durable.
🔥Our Top Pick for the tactical light: Baldr S🔥
Baldr S VS. Baldr Mini Review
A big improvement over the Baldr Mini
Baldr S | Baldr Mini | |
Laser Beam | Green/Blue | Green |
White Light | 800 Lumen | 600 Lumen |
Throw | 130m | 130m |
Runtime | 140min | 40min |
Candela | 4400cd | 4225cd |
Size | 2.48*1.48*1.42 | 2.24*1.29*1.41 |
Weight： | 3.35oz | 3.07oz |
Among many tactical lights, the Baldr S can be counted as an outstanding product, even compared with one of the most popular Olight products, the Baldr Mini.
According to the statistics above, it’s clear to see that Baldr S outperforms Baldr Mini in many ways, especially in brightness output and intensity of beam light.
With a slightly bigger size and heavier weight, it can boast 800 lumens of maximum output and 4400 candelas of light beam, far more than the Baldr Mini at the same distance throw. Most of all, it can last over three times as long as the Baldr mini.
In terms of similarities, both of them can emit green laser beams of white light when used. And they both have two color options available, which include black and desert tan.
Plus, they both passed the 1-meter drop test and are rated IPX 4 waterproof, making them durable enough to resist some harsh conditions.
But as opposed to the Baldr S BL edition, which can provide blue beam light, the Baldr Mini only has green beam laser light. If you are tempted by this fresh blue light, please don’t miss the chance to buy Baldr S at once.
In contrast to the Baldr Mini, the Baldr S has a dual switch, while the Baldr Mini has merely a side switch, which means it is more flexible.
Additionally, the battery capacity of the Baldr S is 3.7V, 380mAh, a 65% increase in capacity compared to the Baldr Mini (3.7V, 230mAh), which gives a max runtime of up to 140 minutes
Baldr S Review: White Light with Green Laser Pointer or Blue Laser Pointer
If you want to own a tactical light that features greater brightness and longer runtime, the Baldr S tactical light should be your first option.
The white light of the Baldr S has two modes: high and low.
With its 800-lumen output, Baldr S serves as an extremely bright light source. It provides excellent illumination in low-light environments and effectively lights up 426 ft areas.
Besides, this powerful beam combo has a low 100-lumen setting, which can run for 140 minutes. This complementary mode means that you can have a wider selection of brightness levels, so you can be ready for any situation that arises.
Baldr S is available in two laser versions: the green laser pointer and the blue laser pointer.
It can emit ultra-bright light with its laser beam, providing you with more stable performance. The combination of a highly visible Class IIIa 440~460nm blue laser beam (<5 mW) and 800 lumens of white light makes it brighter than an ordinary red laser beam.
In addition, this is also the only blue laser WML among all of the quality units. The bright blue beam will give visible aiming assistance during both day and night, but it is not dazzling in close quarters.
👤"I bought this for my 12ga. Brighter than you might think, the laser is crisp, and you can see the beam at night,” one satisfied customer said. Importantly, the Baldr S can greatly increase the accuracy of identifying an object in the dark.
The laser is strong and can blind any attackers when you need to protect yourself. Many users would choose the green laser since it is easiest for the eyes to pick up and best for inflicting astigmatism upon an attacker.
Robust and reliable tactical light
Another brilliant advantage of this awesome tactical light is that its compact size leads to easy installation with smooth operation.
It fits unobtrusively with compact barrels, which means you don’t need to attach or detach it repeatedly.
With the quick-install system, you can attach and release the light in seconds for instant activation. By activating the dual ambidextrous switches, you can access momentary-on or constant-on mode from either hand with ease.
The compact size of the light is perfect for shorter barrels. The Baldr S has some weight to it and reduces muzzle flip. The added set screws secure the Baldr S in place on the rail.
👤 “I don’t care for lasers, but it has an off switch, which is perfect. Best Olight compact weapon light yet!” commented a user on Facebook.
Furthermore, the sliding rail ensures the light can be adjusted back and forth to secure the best position for you.
And you can install it easily within one second. If you need to switch weapons, it's not hard to remove, loosen the set screws, and make use of the sliding adjustable mount again.
Additionally, the mounting of this powerful light and laser is firm and tight. The set screws secure the rail mount base to the light in the desired position, and you can simply remove the screws if you need to detach the light.
👤 “All the mounting is firm, and with a little blue Loctite, I am confident that it will hold zero," a user said.
High adaptability tactical light, offers you more than you'd expect!
Concerning its compatibility, it is suitable for plenty of types of firearms, which just perfectly meet your need for mounting options.
There are over 50 types of guns that can be mounted with the Baldr S. You can mount this Baldr S to your GLOCK® 19, g30, or TAURUS®, for example.

It also has reliability, which makes it a worthy choice. With two tightening screws added to the slide rail mount, you can keep the green beam right on the target even after intense recoil.
👤“For the quality, the price is right. I enjoy mine,” one user said.
Additionally, it possesses a charging cable that snaps on instantly. In this way, you can get charging started right away.
👤“I’m not a Navy Seal or a Delta Force operator. I don’t need a light that can be submerged 50 meters or have a run time of 6 hours, and most of all I don’t need to waste my time and money trying to continually source CR123a batteries, so the rechargeability of this light is a huge plus for me,” another user said.
The Baldr S is more versatile than you'd think. Not only can it be mounted on guns for tactical use, self-defense, or law enforcement, but it can also be mounted on binoculars to illuminate your vision from a distance.
Putting the Baldr S on the rail projects a visible beam that you can see easily without crouching and looking along the tube of the telescope.
👤 “This works brilliantly, and the Baldr-S is compact enough that I can still see the red dot. It makes a great over-under sighting system," one user who bought two Baldr S units said.
