Viridian CTL Compact Tactical Weapon Light - 525 Lumens | ShopTaurus

Blaze a path through the dark with the ultimate compact weapon light. The Viridian CTL Compact Tactical Light (SKU: 930-0025) packs a blinding 525 peak lumens into an ultra-durable, CNC-machined aluminum frame equipped with patented INSTANT-ON® technology.

When the sun goes down, positive threat identification is everything. Engineered specifically to fit compact and full-sized railed handguns, the Viridian CTL (Compact Tactical Light) delivers an astonishing 525 peak lumens of target-flooding white light without adding unnecessary bulk to your muzzle profile.

Machined from premium 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the CTL is built to survive hard duty use, dropping temperatures, and heavy recoil shock. It features multiple modes of operation, including a high-output constant beam and an aggressive tactical strobe to disorient targets in defensive situations. Best of all, it features Viridian's patented INSTANT-ON® technology. When paired with a compatible holster, drawing your firearm automatically activates the light instantly—meaning no fumbling for switches when every millisecond counts. When it is time to power back up, the built-in rechargeable battery easily hooks up to any USB power source via the magnetic charging port, making it fully compatible with Viridian's SAFECHARGE power bank system.

Storefront Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this light fit my micro-compact Taurus GX4? A: The Viridian CTL requires a physical accessory rail to mount. It fits rail-equipped frames like the Taurus G3, G3c, and GX4 Carry. Standard micro-compact GX4 models do not have a Picatinny accessory rail, meaning they require custom non-rail clamp lights instead.

Q: Do I have to use an INSTANT-ON holster to turn the light on? A: No. The CTL features fully ambidextrous, tactile manual buttons on both sides of the light housing. You can tap either side at any time to activate the constant-on or strobe modes manually.

Q: How do I charge the battery? Do I have to take the light off my gun to charge it? A: No, you do not need to remove the light. The CTL features an external magnetic charging port located on the bottom of the housing. Simply attach the included magnetic USB charging cable directly to the unit while it remains safely mounted to your firearm.
