OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie Rechargeable Tactical Light, 1500 Lumens Rail-Mounted Weaponlight, LED Flashlight with Built-in Battery, Rail Locating Keys for 1913 Picatinny, GL Style

WOW! What a great light for the money! Have it mounted to a Remington 870 Police Issue 12ga pump. First off, it is bright AF! I don't have a way of measuring lumens, but it sure has heck LOOKS like 1500 lumens to me. And, after all, that's what really matters. Secondly - they put some REAL thought into how it operates: Love love love the recharge cord! Magnetically attaches to the outside of the light so you can just keep it plugged in at all times. If you need to grab your weapon in a hurry, just grab it and go. The magnet disconnects and you have a light that is fully charged. No more swapping batteries. No more dead or weak battery just when you need it the most. Want an off/off function like a regular flashlight? No problem, click either side button (for left or right handed operation) once - on. Click again - off. Just like you'd expect. Want a momentary on function? No problem, press and hold either button. The light stays on as long as you hold it. And when you release? IT GOES OFF! (wonderful) Want a strobe function? Forget counting the clicks like those cheesy cheap flashlights. Press both buttons at the same time and it strobes. Strobe stays on until you press either button again. It does not support a paddle switch but I didn't want one of those. Highly recommend.

Fits perfectly on 5.7. Great light, and I was able to grab it at 20% off which I think is a solid price. It works flawlessly, is easy to switch on and off, and activating the strobe mode is simple. At 1500 lumens, it’s very bright and definitely lights up the night at a good distance. I would definitely buy again.

As a longtime Olight user, the PL-3R Valkyrie is exactly what I expected: high quality and high performance. This light is super bright and locks onto the weapon rail firmly and sturdily. The magnetic charging is a huge convenience and works flawlessly. What truly sets this apart is the intelligent function: even when the flashlight is locked out, the momentary switches still allow quick illumination when I need it. It’s a very smart and reliable design.

I love the PL-3R. It's not as narrow as a streamlight but the quality is on par. Very bright and had high and low brightness, strobe, and is rechargeable. Mine is installed on a G17 and the fit like and feels good. If you go through a lot of practice ammo you will get residue on the lense, so I'd recommend covering it with something unless you don't mind wiping it off after each range trip. I have a universal drop leg holster that it hits in without issue and the PL-3R does help absorb a bit of recoil and mitigate muzzle flip. This light can illuminate my hallway and living room is pitch black on the high setting, it can also light up my decent sized backyard at night. I don't think you can beat the quality for the price on the PL-3R.

Works as advertised. Built strong and with quality in mind. Have used at the range at night with my Smith & Wesson MP9 M2.0 and no issues. Great light coverage.

This is a good light out of the box. I had to make adjustments for it to fit my Glock, but all the needed parts were there, and it only took a couple of minutes of playing with. I will say that I compared this light directly to my Streamlight TLR1HL. The TLR-1HL is supposed to have 1000 lm and this light is supposed to have 1500 lm. Despite the claimed lumens for these lights, the TLR1HL provided a slightly stronger beam than this light. So, from a functionality standpoint, this light is not as bright as bright as they claim. However, the TLR-1HL cost more than double the price of this one and is not rechargeable. The difference in the quality of the light was marginal so I would recommend this light for use on both a home defense weapon AND/OR a duty weapon…assuming it maintains its charge…which time will tell.

As someone who owns multiple weapon lights, I can say the OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie is one of the best value tactical lights I’ve used in this price range. Brightness & Performance: This thing is bright. At 1500 lumens on high, it lights up everything in front of you with a tight, focused beam and solid spill. Perfect for low-light training, home defense, or duty use. The strobe mode is intense and disorienting—definitely a plus for defensive scenarios. Rechargeable Convenience: The built-in rechargeable battery is a game changer. No more fumbling with CR123s or carrying spares. The magnetic USB charging cable is slick and charges fast. Great for regular use or tossing on the charger between shifts or range trips. Build Quality: As with all OLIGHT products I’ve used, the PL-3R is extremely well-built. The aluminum housing is tough, water-resistant, and has survived a couple of rough drops without issue. The quick-detach mount locks on tight to my Glock 19 and AR pistol rail—no wiggle, no hassle. Switching & Controls: The dual rear paddles are responsive and easy to activate, whether you're right- or left-handed. You can choose between constant on, momentary, or strobe depending on how you press. It feels intuitive and fast once you get the muscle memory down. Pros: ✅ Extremely bright with solid throw and spill ✅ Magnetic USB charging – no battery swaps ✅ Tough construction, good fit & finish ✅ Easy-to-use ambidextrous controls ✅ Strobe mode for tactical use ✅ Fits most Picatinny and Glock-style rails Cons: ➖ Not the cheapest option—but you get what you pay for ➖ No brightness adjustment (just high and strobe) ➖ Slightly bulkier than ultra-compact lights Bottom Line: The OLIGHT PL-3R Valkyrie is a top-tier choice for anyone needing a durable, rechargeable weapon light that performs under pressure. Whether you're on the range, on duty, or just want reliable illumination at home, this light delivers. Highly recommended.

Great light. Dutiable and easy to install. Good battery life and is very bright. I have it installed on my Glock 19x mos
