Reviews & Ratings for Klarus XT11GT HD Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight - 2000 Lumens — 9 reviews — Page 1

Aside from being Made in the Comunist Oppressive country of China it’s great. If I had noticed this prior I wouldn’t have bought it. That aside, the throw is strong and the lumen rating seems accurate. I like the color changing battery indicator light and the ability to charge it using an external plug without having to remove the battery. Buttons and configuration were easy to learn and use. Mounts very nicely in a picatinny , with your own mount supplied and the rear cal button makes that a breeze. Good light. China bad.

This flashlight has great power. When you charge the batteries remember to remove the paper on the contacts. It has several settings that are functional. How much more can you saw about a flashlight? I resent they make you write

This is a follow-up to a flawed review dated August 27, 2019. The XT11GT does not reach the boiling point in 30 seconds—if ever. And simply doing the math, I have no reason to doubt its 2000 lumens in the narrow center of light that projects that brightly. Probably only if smothered under something would it get hot enough to notice (a burning smell) and complain about. It takes seven full hours to charge one huge dead battery (2 5/8 inches long, little over a quarter-inch wide) in the Nitecore® digicharger wall unit. Also, there is an indication of a dying battery beyond the neat little red dot on the side toggle of the flashlight. When the flashlight starts powering down from its highest levels on its own, it’s time to change and charge and rotate the batteries. The three-battery plan has proven perfect. I’d rather a battery suffer an electrical malfunction while it’s out of the unit. This Klarus light is the most sophisticated and intelligent flashlight I can imagine, and the manufacturer has upgraded it since, no doubt with a more gigantic battery. The Klarus XT11GT I purchased last August has held up wonderfully all this time, and I simply have no need to manage a bigger light. Two thousand lumens is too bright up close. (Full disclosure, I am a crippled online shopper and no paid advocate for whomever manufactures and distributes these products. I was never a police officer but simply appreciate good gear. It started with old Surefire lights and their warm beams, replac...

The first problem began with the shirt clip, a necessity for me having shopped this flashlight very hard. I’ve abused it to the point of having the light’s black paint under the fingernail long term. No, do not follow YouTube and scrape this light with your BenchmadeUSA knife! (The right shirt/pocket clip is a little thing and will eventually break in.) Another potential little problem is the weak, flapping rubber cover for the in-flashlight USB charger (which takes an awful long time). It will be the first to break, hence my hesitation to rely on it, but what’s underneath is very solid and apparently water resistant. I immediately bought a Nitecore® digicharger wall unit, which also takes hours and am glad I bought the two extra batteries from BatteryJunction.com, which have just come in and will need to be carefully rotated. I never altered the XT11GT’s default settings as I found them ideal; and I never bothered to read much of the manual, preferring to fool around and learn it intuitively, and I’m old with brain damage. The default switch for the strobe rattles, rattling me a little. But that’s the extent of my concerns. Here’s what I got when I called OpticsPlanet.com, a distributor fully available by old-school telephone with very knowledgeable customer-service representatives supplying a solid, fourth-generation flashlight with turbo power built in China before the trade war. I do not believe the product projects fully 2000 lumens, but it doesn’t matter. The brightest ...

Flashlight is bright and like the compact size. Found it a little too big to carry in a front pocket compared to other EDC flashlights I own but not a dealbreaker. It charges fairly quickly and battery charge lasts longer than I expected

Extremely bright. Great as defensive tool with easy access, separate controls. Recharging reasonsbly fast with USB, so no need for spare batteries. Carry with me whenever/whereever I travel. Four brightness levels for any situation. Case, wrist strap and clip providd multiple carry options. Solid construction, bezel shape plus bright strobe (can be activated 2 ways depending on carry position) make this a great additional defensive tool and when other options are not possible.

This flash light has a very long battery life which is very nice also it's very bright and has many nice features on it like different settings and modes there is a strobe paddle and different brightness levels and it is waterproof up to a certain depth. I would recommend this flash light if you need a bright flash light with long battery life. This is a very well built and heavy duty light that is not that heavy klarus Did a very good job I give it 5 stars.
