Los Angeles, CA - (FirearmsGuide.com) – The Olight Valkyrie Turbo is a brand new weapon light from Olight. The Valkyrie Turbo is a single-output weapon light powered by two side-by-side CR123A batteries and it produces a max of 250 lumens and has a throw up to 530 meters. If you are not a fan of rechargeable Olight weapon lights that require a magnetic USB cable to be charged and you prefer replaceable CR123A batteries then read this review because the Valkyrie Turbo is a weapon light for you here: https://www.olightstore.com/s/IW6VJA

The Olight Valkyrie Turbo LEP with 250~60 lumens (70,225cd) is not the most powerful Oligh weapon light but is it still awesome, especially for indoor usage in the middle of the night. It is not too bright to blind you in the most sensitive moment in the middle of the night in your house. If you are outside, the throw of 530 meters should be enough to light properly any far object.

The Valkyrie Turbo LEP is the first Valkyrie light to adopt an eye-safe LEP light source. The new LEP technology achieves a 530-meter pure white beam with a very little spill, suitable for long-range illumination and target practice. As the first LEP light in the series, the Valkyrie Turbo LEP is designed to equip your setup with one of the farthest-reaching white beams on the market.

Please notice small nylon bag on the right. 1913 Rail Adapter, wrench and screws are in that bag but when you unpacking Valkyrie Turbo you won't see it because it is covered by printed manual.

 

The Valkyrie Turbo has AL6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy hard anodized body that is top quality and nicely designed with shooter simple and intuitive use in mind. That strong but light body of the Valkyrie Turbo has IPX6 waterproof rating and 1m drop-resistance. 

 

Package Includes:

Please note that all screws, wrenches, and 1913 adapters are located under the printed manual in the box. Located there, they are not easy to find so you may not notice them and wonder why you didn't get them. 

 

Please see GL Rail Adapter preinstalled on the Valkyrie Turbo. Lever that locks the light onto your gun is now in "LOCKED" position. 

 

MOUNTING: The Valkyrie Turbo LEP comes with GL Rail Adapter already installed but in the package, you will get a 1913 Rail Adapter, Allen Screws, and T6/T8 Socket Head Wrench to be able to mount it on the gun with 1913 rail. Just like with many other Olight weapon lights, mounting is simple and easy. The heavy-duty quick attach and release mounting system allows the light to have a tight hold on any firearm with a 1913 or Glock style rail. This system is simple and very effective.

Simply release the lever on the left side of the light and push the lever in towards the light. This opens up the left jaw of the mounting clamp. Slide the light onto your firearm and ensure that the rail adapter fits nicely. Once you have the light held on with your hand, simply pull the lever back towards the switches and it will lock on to your firearm. Once attached there is absolutely no movement. The system makes installation and removal a literal snap instead of having to hand screw a bolt.

 

CONTROLS: The Valkyrie Turbo LEP has an ambidextrous switch that allows the user to continue to use their preferred grip on the firearm while still being able to activate the switch at a moment’s notice in a high-stress situation. This user-friendly ambidextrous switch can be either pushed forward or pressed on either side to activate the light to temporary on, constant on, or strobe setting. These two switches are easy to use even when you use large gloves. When Valkyrie Turbo LEP is mounted, switches will be right at your fingertips. Using this ambidextrous switch is so simple that in high-stress situations, it becomes second nature to operate your weapon light.

 

MODES OF LIGHT: 

Constant On/Off: Single press either side of the tail switch for constant on. While the light is on, press either side of the tail switch again to turn it off. 

Momentary On: Press and hold down either side of the tail switch for momentary-on. Let go of the switch and the light will turn off.

Strobe: To enter strobe mode, it is necessary to press both sides of the tail switch and release, or to press and hold one side and then press the other and release. When in strobe mode, you have to press either side of the switch to turn it off. 

 

Snag free streamlined design and ambidextrous switch are qualities of the Valkyrie Turbo weapon light.

With a length of 3.55in/90.1mm the Valkyrie Turbo LEP will extend past the barrel of the most compact pistols but that is to be expected if you want a weapon light that uses replaceable CR123A batteries and that has 250~60 lumens (70,225cd) output. 

 

The Valkyrie Turbo LEP is powered by two CR123A batteries. 

 

BATTERIES: The Valkyrie Turbo LEP is powered by two replaceable 1600mAh CR123A batteries and Olight states that RCR123A batteries can be used but it does not recommend that. The Valkyrie Turbo LEP battery compartment features an easy-to-access lock to prevent accidental opening during operation. You just have to push the tab slightly and pull the pack to open the battery compartment. To be able to do that and to replace the batteries, you will have to unmount the light from your gun. After the batteries are replaced, you will have to mount the light again. A properly mounted light will sit so close to your trigger guard that the batteries compartment door is blocked and cannot be accidentally opened.

The CR123A batteries are widely accessible and they are used in many tactical accessories so we are sure that many of you have a decent stock of them, ready to be used. Plus, it is easier to change CR123A batteries than a built-in rechargeable battery. The Olight states that you should get up to 4 minutes in 250 lumens mode and up to 184 minutes in 60 lumens mode with this battery setup.

 

Conclusion: The Olight Valkyrie Turbo LEP is a great weapon light for users who prefer weapon light powered by replaceable CR123A batteries. It is powerful enough, simple to use, simple to mount, built up to the highest industry standards and it comes with Olight’s 5-Year Warranty.
