Modlite PLHv3-18350 Light Package, Black
The PLHv3 improves upon the previous generations by boasting 1500 lumens and 60,000 candela in the same compact form factor.
This light package contains a PLHv3-light head, 18350 body and tail cap. It also includes a single KeepPower 1200mAh 18350 battery and a XTAR MC2 charger. While lumen output with this light is similar to the Surefire® M600DF head, the throw is much better suited to allow PID (Positive ID) at greater distances at more than three times the amount throw than the M600DF. This light is a significant step forward from previous options. Lumen output is about the same but throw is greatly improved. It is the best balance of flood and throw available.

Awesome little light. I am going to be switching my other lights to one plhv2 and maybe try the okw. As usual Rooftop shipping is great.

Ran the gauntlet of lights starting with a Streamlight ProTac, tried the Arisaka and Malkoff, grabbed a 600DF and finally ended up here on the Rooftop. Modlite is the Mecca ladies and gentlemen. This little light is amazing in every way. The flood, the hot spot, the size, the weight, the sexy ass design, the sheer brightness and dopeness is all best-in-class. This thing destroys the 600DF. Not even close, seriously. All you need to decide is if you want 30 minutes of eye melting awesomeness with the 18350, or 75 minutes with the 18650. Grab a UE cap and the switch of your choice and enjoy the last light you’ll need until the next generation of LEDs comes out in 5-10 years.

I upgraded all my surefire lights to the PLHV2 and i am so impressed. Worth the every penny. Rooftop is by far the fastest and easiest to deal with, you guys are leading the way. I appreciate you

Excellent performance in a small package. Out shines my surefire scout lights by leaps and bounds! As usual, shipping was lightning fast and customer service from rooftop defense is top notch.

It is a tiny little light, but don’t let that fool you. Its beefy hunk of photons emitted out the front should have come with a girth certificate. I ended up replacing my M600DF with this little guy. The sacrifice of run time is worth the ounces and inches for my application.
