Description
The Viridian CTL Custom solves a problem plenty of Hellcat owners run into: the Hellcat and Hellcat Pro use a proprietary rail that shrugs off most standard weapon lights. Viridian engineered this one to fit that rail specifically, so you get a snug, no-slop mount instead of an awkward adapter setup. It throws 525 lumens and 17,000 candela out to roughly 184 meters, which is more than enough punch to light up a room or reach across a yard when you need to identify what's in front of you.
What Sets the CTL Custom for Hellcat Apart
Beyond the fit, this light is styled to match the pistol. The housing carries the Hellcat lines and even wears the logo, so it looks like it came with the gun rather than bolted on as an afterthought. It's machined from 6061 aluminum with a hardcoat black anodized finish, giving you a light that shrugs off holstering, recoil, and the usual bumps of daily carry without adding much bulk up front.
Power That Stays Ready With SAFECharge
Instead of feeding it batteries, the CTL runs on an internal rechargeable polymer lithium cell good for up to 60 minutes of runtime. It charges through Viridian's SAFECharge system, which uses a magnetic connector and a portable power bank that holds several full charges. The magnet is the smart part here: if your light is topping off in a safe and you need the pistol in a hurry, it pulls free clean with no cables to fumble.
Instant-On and Ambidextrous Controls
Activation is fully ambidextrous, so lefties and righties both get easy access to the buttons for on, off, and mode changes. Pair it with an Instant-On compatible holster and the light fires up the moment you clear leather, coming out in whatever mode it went in. That draw-and-illuminate speed is exactly what you want in a defensive light, and it's a big reason Viridian gear ends up on duty guns. This one's a natural pick for home defense, everyday carry, or anyone who wants their Hellcat lit up and ready without the battery hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the CTL Custom fit both the Hellcat and the Hellcat Pro?
Yes. This light was engineered specifically for the Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat Pro's proprietary rail, so it mounts securely on either pistol without adapters. The housing is also styled to match the gun's lines for a factory look.
How does the SAFECharge system work?
The CTL uses an internal rechargeable battery that tops off through a magnetic connector and a portable power bank. The magnet means the light snaps free instantly if you need the pistol in a hurry, with no cables to unplug. The power bank holds several full charges so you can recharge away from an outlet.
Does this Viridian CTL for the Hellcat include a laser?
No. This particular model (930-0048) is a light-only unit putting out 525 lumens. If you want a combined light and green laser for the Hellcat, Viridian offers the C5L Custom in that same family instead.
What is Instant-On and do I need a special holster for it?
Instant-On is Viridian's tech that fires the light up the moment you draw, coming out of the holster in the same mode it went in. It requires an Instant-On compatible holster with a magnet system to work. Without one, you can still run the light manually using the ambidextrous buttons.
