The Klarus XT12GT lamp is a powerful and innovative lamp equipped with two switches as well as a Cree XHP35 Hi D4 LED.
This lamp has 4 lighting modes, strobe mode and a maximum light output of 1600 ANSI Lumens.
It is controllable with one hand, you will only need your thumb thanks to the innovation of the double switch in the rear cap of the lamp. This XT12GT features a removable stainless steel bezel. The TRS1 remote switch is also compatible with the XT12GT.
The user interface is very intuitive, full power mode is activated every time you press the main button, there is no memory so no chance of activating low mode in a close combat situation.
