Gear Review: Olight PL X 1200 Dual Beam Weapon Light

▶
Listen to Article

Olight offers the PL X 1200 as a compact rechargeable pistol light with selectable flood and spotlight beams. It draws power from an internal 960 mAh lithium-ion polymer cell charged through USB-C and uses a 6061 aluminum body finished in Type III hard anodizing.

Peak output hits 1,200 lumens on flood and 900 lumens on spotlight, delivering 22,500 candela and a listed 300-meter reach, with reduced settings of 300 and 200 lumens plus a 145-minute maximum runtime.

A month of testing on a Taurus GX4 Compact in .380 ACP, a Shadow Systems DR920 and a Bear Creek Grizzly 101 showed the dual beams and dual-side buttons useful in dark indoor areas, though the sealed battery cannot be swapped in the field and holster choices may narrow. The $119.99 model, or $149.99 green-laser variant, left the reviewer impressed as an affordable option.
