Reviews & Ratings for Klarus XT11S Tactical Flashlight 1100 Lumens — 4 reviews — Page 1

I love this light. I like the 1100 lumens of white light focused in not too large of a beam pattern.

The only shortcomings that I have experienced since I've had it was the sometime delay of the strobe function, but the main problem is the micro-charging connection. It became easily worn after constant use because of the design and now I cannot charge it at all.

The industry concerning charging has moved to the "C" USB Charging method which is much better and stronger. To be able to charge any of these devices once the Micro-USB port becomes worn, one has to buy a Lithium charger and remove the battery for charging which of course becomes inconvenient. Meaning that you will now have to carry an independent charger around to charge your flashlight.

This is the best flashlight I’ve owned. I used it in the basement to help run some speaker wires to go to room upstairs. It worked great. Very bright. I plan on using it camping and for some night fishing. I took it outside the other to see how well it worked and I was impressed especially given its size.

I like it so far. It seems rugged. I charged it last week when I got it and it still has a strong charge. I was a bit upset when I got it to read that it was made in China. For a guy trying to buy American that was almost a deal breaker.

I have several "tactical" flashlights and while the light form all of them is good the practical use in a tactical or defensive situation hasn't always been great. The XT11S really seems to git the bill and for the price seems a great value. I like the "syringe" technique when using a flashlight with a defensive handgun and the finger ring just above the clip works very well allowing a positive grip and easy activation of the button light switch. The rear lever mode selection work well, is quick and easy to change brightness and mode (strobe) and provide a degree of protection for the rear activation push button activation switch, which is a problem with many lights. As some lights can easily be turned on accidentally when the light is in a pouch or pocket. The protection around the rear button, while not totally eliminating this, does greatly reduce the change of inadvertently turning on the light and running the battery down. Another really nice feature is the on/off/mode button on the light body, in a normal position for most flashlights. When using the flashlight just as a flashlight the front switch falls easily to hand and is very convenient to use. You can change modes by a pick push of the button or hold the button down for 5 seconds to turn the light off. The light patters in very good and on high very strong. All in all I think this light works as well as other I have that cost a great deal more and is a very good value for the money.
