Definitely the best tactical light powered by 1 AA battery or 14500 battery.
The new Klarus XT series flashlights are no joke, high precision illumination tools, they have been developed with self-defense and tactical use in mind. Part of the XT (Extreme Tactical) range, which already includes the different XT11 and XT12 models, now welcomes the new XT1A which is a true tactical flashlight to carry every day (EDC every day carry). It uses 1 AA battery or a 14500 battery, of handy size, it is very easy to carry in a pocket or in a bag.
Despite being a small flashlight using 1 AA battery, the XT1A is brilliant, delivering 1000 ANSI Lumens when used with the included Klarus 14GT80UR 800mAh battery.
It is also controlled by the innovative dual switch, which you also find on the XT11 and XT12, to allow rapid mode changes (from high to medium and low) and to switch as quickly as a flash to the ultra-bright and confusing strobe mode. These advantages make the Klarus XT1A tactical flashlight a true self-defense flashlight.
