Nextorch WL11

Nextorch Industries is unveiling the new WL11 Rail Mounted Tactical Light. This new rail mounted light throws out a 650 lumen beam while being able to be recharged via a standard USB-C cable. Besides the ability to be recharged, this light is also compatible with CR 123A or 16340 batteries. Its toggle switch activation is suitable for both left and right-handed use and is therefore fully ambidextrous. As the Nextorch WL11 is primarily meant for use on handgun railed dust covers, Nextorch made sure the toggle switches were not too close to crowd out the hand and fingers around the trigger guard, but also not too far away so that most people with standard sized hands would not be able to reach the toggle switches.

“The WL11 is a great addition to our weapon light offerings,” said Jordan Brothers, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, NEXTORCH. “It’s poised to become our number one weapon light with our Law Enforcement partners thanks to its fantastic ergonomics, rock solid reliability, and unbeatable value.”

Installation to any M1913 Picatinny railed surface is straight forward with the Nextorch WL11’s self-contained thumbscrew. It also has a wide notch so that the end user could some something like the edge of a cartridge case or a coin to tighten it. The WL11 has a runtime of approximately 1.5 hours.
