Viridian C5L

Viridian has reintroduced its entire C Series of pistol-mounted green laser sights and lights, and—as the only SKU incorporating each of these elements—the C5L represents the lineup’s most versatile offering.

The unit features both a brilliant green laser pointer (<5 milliwatts) and a four-setting, user-adjustable white light that puts out 650 lumens and 55,000 candelas when set to high, and each of these can be used either separately or in conjunction with each other.

Each member of the C Series now also comes with a SafeCharge rechargeable power source and a magnetic charging connector that allows the accessory’s internal battery to be quickly and easily recharged; the C5L touts a constant-on runtime on high of one hour, and a full recharge takes about 90 minutes.

MSRP is $229. For more information, visit viridianweapontech.com.
