I have never been a weapons light guy. No idea why not. Maybe it was simply for lack of having used one. With the Olight Pl-1 II Valkyrie (Amazon Link) things might have changed. 

Used to be there were little choices in firearms lights. You had Surefire lights and junk not to be trusted. Surefire was the standard in high-quality lights. And they charged for it too. 

Then companies Like Olight and Foursevens started to innovate. Whereas the Surefire rested on its laurels and overcharged. 

That is why I have never owned a Surefire. And why at this time Olight is my top pick for all my flashlight needs. 

Let’s get into the Olight Pl-1 II Valkyrie and why you might want to add it to your preps.

Olight H1 Nova And Olight PL-1 II VALKYRIE First Thoughts

Olight H1 Nova And Olight PL-1 II VALKYRIE First Thoughts

For today’s video, I have some cool gear from Olight. I unbox and give my first thoughts on the Olight H1 Nova And Olight PL-1 II VALKYRIE. 

Both lights take a single CR123 Battery. Good for standardizing your lights. 

Today is not a full review of either. I have much more testing to do. I don’t like to pencil whip reviews out. 

The H1 Nova

The H1 Nova is a headlamp and pocket light all in one. They took the inspiration from the much-loved Olight S10 baton. 

This headlamp can be removed from the headband and the pocket clip attached. While I love headlamps in my systems The versatility makes this even better. 

Oh did I mention that the H1 Nova has 500 lumens? I remember my first headlamp had a whopping 60 lumens and I thought I was carrying a collapsed sun on my head. 

 

 

PL-1 II VALKYRIE

PL-1 II VALKYRIE is a powerful weapons light. It is designed to work with both MIL-STD-1913 and Glock sized rails. 

This weapons light features a 450 lumen light. I looked up the settings and there are no other brightness settings. It has On, Strobe and off. The strobe mode is activated by pushing both buttons. 

In the video, I didn’t realize that the Valkyrie could be mounted on Ar rails. I said I didn’t think I have anything it could mount on. Oh, I certainly do and I’m loving it.
