Description
The NEXTORCH WL11 is a compact, rail-mounted light that punches well above its size. It puts out 650 lumens with a 130-meter throw, which is plenty to light up a room, a yard, or a hallway and still keep enough reach to identify what you're looking at from across a property. The body is aerospace aluminum with a Type III hard-anodized finish, so it holds up to recoil and years of holster wear without babying it. At roughly 3 inches long and under 3 ounces, it doesn't throw off the balance of a carry gun or add noticeable bulk to a full-size pistol.
What Sets the WL11 Apart
The standout feature is the ambidextrous rocker switch. NEXTORCH designed the paddles so they're easy to reach for both lefties and righties without crowding your trigger finger, and you can flick between momentary and constant-on without breaking your grip. That kind of intuitive control matters when you're working in the dark and don't want to fumble for a button. The lens is shatter-resistant polycarbonate, and the whole unit carries an IPX7 waterproof rating along with a 1-meter impact and drop rating.
Mounting and Battery Options on the WL11
Installation is tool-free thanks to a self-contained thumbscrew clamp with a wide notch, so you can snug it down with a coin or the rim of a cartridge case if your fingers can't get enough torque. It fits both Picatinny 1913 and Glock-style rails, which covers most modern pistols from Glock, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Walther, Canik, Taurus, and plenty of others. It also mounts to patrol rifles. On the power side, the WL11 runs dual-fuel: a rechargeable 16340 battery for everyday use with USB-C top-offs, or a CR123A when you want a fresh cell ready to go. Runtime lands around an hour and a half at full output. For folks who like the layout of a Streamlight TLR-1 or SureFire X300, the WL11 drops into most TLR-1-compatible Safariland holsters, so you're not stuck hunting for gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guns will the NEXTORCH WL11 fit?
The WL11 is built for both Picatinny 1913 and Glock-style accessory rails, so it works with a wide range of mid-size and full-size pistols. That includes popular models from Glock, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Walther, Canik, and Taurus, among others. It also mounts to patrol rifles with a rail section.
Is the WL11 rechargeable or does it use disposable batteries?
It's dual-fuel, which means you get both options. The included 16340 battery recharges over USB-C for everyday use, and you can drop in a CR123A when you want a fresh cell on hand. Full output runs about an hour and a half per charge.
How bright is the NEXTORCH WL11 and how far does it reach?
The WL11 puts out 650 lumens with a beam distance of 130 meters. That's plenty for close-quarters target identification indoors while still giving you enough reach to light up a yard or driveway. It's a solid balance of output and throw for a light this compact.
Will the WL11 fit my existing weapon light holster?
It's designed to drop into most holsters cut for a Streamlight TLR-1, including many Safariland options. If your current rig fits a TLR-1, there's a good chance the WL11 will slide right in. Always check your specific holster model to be sure.
