Olight's weapon light lineup splits into two platforms built around different mission profiles. The PL Series (Valkyrie) is the dedicated white-light illuminator — pure output, no laser, available in battery-powered and rechargeable configurations from the compact PL-Mini 3 up to the dual-beam PL X. The Baldr Series pairs that white light with an integrated laser — green or blue depending on the model — adding a target acquisition tool without bolting a second accessory to the rail. Both lines fit standard Glock and Picatinny rails via included adapters, and every rechargeable model uses Olight's magnetic charging system so you can top off without removing the light from the gun.
The PL-Mini 3 is the concealed carry weapon light — 600 lumens and 100 meters of throw in a body measuring 2.07 inches at 2.40 ounces. That footprint fits micro-compact frames like the P365, Hellcat, and G43X without extending past the muzzle. A removable rechargeable battery lets you swap cells without detaching the light from the rail, and the MCC3 magnetic cable charges through the housing. The adjustable sliding rail accommodates different rail lengths, and ambidextrous switches provide momentary-on and constant-on access from either hand. If your platform is a subcompact and you need a light that disappears inside a holster, the Mini 3 fills that role.
The PL-3S steps up to 1,000 lumens and 200 meters of throw — a meaningful jump in output for full-size duty guns. It runs two CR123A batteries for a 320-minute max runtime, making it a strong option if you prefer disposable cells over rechargeable. The adjustable sliding key-block and included Glock/Picatinny adapters make it compatible with most rail-equipped handguns. Ambidextrous tail switches handle momentary, constant-on, and strobe. At 3.19 inches and 4.20 ounces, the PL-3S fits full-size frames without excessive overhang.
The PL-3R is the rechargeable version of the PL-3 platform. It pushes to 1,500 lumens with 205 meters of throw and 10,200 candela from a built-in 900 mAh lithium polymer battery that charges via Olight's magnetic cable — no need to remove the light to recharge. A dual mode setting switch lets you choose between a 1,500-lumen High 1 and a more battery-efficient 1,000-lumen High 2, plus a 300-lumen low mode that stretches runtime to 100 minutes. The magnetic charging port doubles as the connection point for the optional sRPL-7 remote pressure switch, making the PL-3R compatible with rifle and carbine builds. Same 3.19-inch footprint as the PL-3S at 3.77 ounces.
The PL-Pro pushes 1,500 lumens through a smooth reflector with 280 meters of throw and 19,600 candela — more reach than the TIR-equipped PL-3R despite the same lumen rating. The built-in 900 mAh battery charges via magnetic cable, and the magnetic port supports the optional RPL-7 remote pressure switch for rifle mounting. Ambidextrous push-forward switches provide silent activation in momentary or constant-on modes, and a lockout mode prevents accidental activation in the holster. At 3.27 inches and 3.25 ounces, the PL-Pro is actually lighter than the PL-3R while delivering more throw — a strong choice for duty-size handguns where beam distance matters.
The PL Turbo takes a different approach — it runs 800 lumens through a deep reflector that delivers both a concentrated spotlight and a wide floodlight simultaneously. The result is 66,300 candela and 515 meters of throw, which is over twice the reach of any other PL model. That dual-beam profile means you can identify a threat at distance while still maintaining peripheral awareness of your immediate surroundings. Powered by two CR123A batteries with 120 minutes of runtime. The body measures 3.53 inches at 4.48 ounces in 6061-T6 aluminum with a screw-locking rail mount rated for 30,000 rounds of simulated recoil. If you need a weapon light that reaches beyond standard pistol distances — think property perimeter or vehicle stops — the PL Turbo does it in a standard rail-mount form factor.
The PL X is the newest addition to the Valkyrie line and the first with two independent light sources. A side toggle switches between a 1,200-lumen wide floodlight for room clearing and a 22,500-candela focused spotlight that throws 300 meters for target identification at distance. Each beam has its own high and low modes plus independent strobe. Powered by a built-in 960 mAh battery that charges via USB-C — the first weapon light in the PL line with USB-C onboard. A patented anti-loosening ratchet mounting system replaces the traditional screw lock for a more secure rail attachment. Type III hard anodized aluminum and IPX7 waterproofing — the highest water resistance rating in the PL series. At 2.48 inches and 3.07 ounces, the PL X is compact enough for concealed carry frames while delivering output that competes with full-size duty lights.
The Baldr Mini pairs 600 lumens of white light with a Class IIIa green laser in a body measuring 2.24 inches at 3.07 ounces. Three selectable modes — light only, laser only, or both combined — are accessible through a mode switch without powering down. The green laser is five times more visible than a red laser in daylight conditions, making it effective for rapid target acquisition even in bright environments. The built-in lithium polymer battery charges via Olight's magnetic cable. The adjustable sliding rail fits compact and subcompact frames. If you want a laser/light combo that fits concealed carry holsters, the Baldr Mini is the entry point.
The Baldr S bumps the Baldr Mini formula to 800 lumens with a larger 380 mAh battery that extends low-mode runtime to 140 minutes — a 3.5x improvement over the Mini. The green laser and three-mode selector carry forward. Two brightness levels (800 and 100 lumens) give you options for indoor and outdoor use. At 2.48 inches and 3.35 ounces, the S is slightly larger than the Mini but remains compact enough for most duty and carry frames. The Baldr S is the recommended upgrade from the Mini for buyers who want more runtime and the added low mode without jumping to a full-size body.
The Baldr S BL is identical to the Baldr S in every spec except the laser — it runs a blue beam instead of green. Blue sits between red and green in visibility: brighter than red in daylight, less glaring than green at close range in dark environments. If you work primarily indoors or at CQB distances where a green laser feels overpowering, the blue variant provides a middle ground. All other specs — 800 lumens, 130 meters, 140-minute runtime, IPX4 — are the same.
The Baldr Pro is the output leader in the Baldr line — 1,350 lumens through a TIR optic with 260 meters of throw and 16,900 candela, paired with a 5 mW green laser. That combination of high candela and an integrated laser makes the Pro effective from CQB out to mid-range identification distances. Powered by two CR123A batteries for instant readiness without worrying about charge state. The body measures 3.30 inches at 4.55 ounces. A three-position mode selector and ambidextrous rear switches handle all light and laser functions. The swing-arm quick-attach system mounts on Glock and Picatinny rails. The Baldr Pro is the right choice when you want maximum output from the Baldr platform and prefer disposable batteries.
The Baldr Pro R is the rechargeable version of the Baldr Pro — same 1,350-lumen output and green laser, but powered by a built-in 1,000 mAh lithium polymer battery that charges via Olight's magnetic cable. The magnetic charging port also serves as the connection point for the optional RPL-7 remote pressure switch, making the Pro R compatible with rifle and carbine setups. A new mode selector ring around the head replaces the old rear-mounted switch for faster mode transitions. The beam distance drops to 200 meters compared to the non-rechargeable Pro's 260 meters due to a different optic configuration, so if maximum throw is the priority, the CR123A-powered Pro still has the edge. The body runs 3.74 inches at 4.44 ounces. If you want rechargeable convenience and rifle compatibility in a laser/light combo, the Pro R is it.
The decision between PL and Baldr comes down to whether you want a laser. If your shooting fundamentals rely on sights and you want the simplest, lightest illumination tool possible, the PL series delivers more output per ounce with fewer variables. If you want a visible aiming reference for point shooting, low-light target acquisition, or training scenarios, the Baldr series integrates that laser without adding a second rail accessory. Within each line, match the model to your platform — Mini and S models for compact and subcompact frames, 3R/Pro/Pro R for full-size duty guns, PL Turbo or PL X for specialized throw or dual-beam capability.
