Fenix GL19R Rechargeable LED Weapon Light

The Fenix GL19R is a rechargeable weapon mountable light, and features a maximum output of 1200 lumens from the Luminus SFT40 LED.

It is designed for handguns with a picatinny rail or a glock style rail and comes with two rail key adaptors (1913 and GL) to make it compatible with a wide range of handguns. The GL rail key is fitted as default and can be swapped out for the included 1913 picatinny rail key if required.

The attach and release mounting system allows for quick deployment, and features a swing arm mechanism (QD lever) located on the edge of the torch that when released opens up the mount allowing you to easily attach and detach the torch to the gun rail. With the correct rail key adaptor fitted, lift the QD lever and slide the GL19R onto the accessory rail of the gun, ensuring the rail key is in the rail slot. Once in position, close the QD lever then adjust the rail clamp bolt on the other side to ensure the GL19R is securely fitted to the gun rail.

Two ambidextrous switches and are located on the back of the light and are pushed from the back for easy activation of the light while attached to a firearm. A quick press and release of the either button will turn the light on in the last used output and another quick press will turn the light off. If you don't press and release the button quick enough it will trigger the momentary operation (holding for over 1 second) and the light will stay on until you release the button.

To change between high and turbo quickly press and hold one button while single pressing the other button when the light is on or off, and release to lock in the desired output. Momentary strobe can be activated while the light is on by pressing and holding either button for over 0.5 seconds, and once released the light will return to general mode.

The handy lockout feature prevents accidental activation in transit and is activated by simultaneously holding down both buttons for 5 seconds. If either is pressed while in lockout the battery indicator will flash red and green to indicate that the GL19R is locked. To exit lockout mode press and hold both buttons simultaneously for 1 second.

A Fenix 18350 1100 mAh lithium-ion battery is included with the GL19R, which has a high discontinuous discharge current of 10 A in order to access the high output of the torch, and charges inside the torch via the USB-C charging port for faster charging. The hidden USB-C port is revealed by removing the dust cover from the underside of the light, and the cable can then be inserted and connected to a USB-A power source. The LED charging indicator will go red to indicate charging is in progress and will turn green once charging is complete after approximately 2 hours.

The LED on the side is also a battery level indicator and will light up for 3 seconds when the torch is first turned on, with either a green, green flashing, red or red flashing light to show the battery power remaining and notify you when the battery needs charging.

The torch will generate a lot of heat when used in turbo, therefore the overheat protection will automatically reduce the output when the internal temperature reaches 60° in order to protect the LED from overheating, and once the torch has cooled the turbo mode can be reselected. If the battery voltage drops below the preset level the torch is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until 50 lumens output is reached, at which point the battery indicator light will flash red to remind you to charge the battery.

Product Features

Operational Modes

Turbo: 1200 lumens; 1 hour run-time; 210 m beam range*
High: 350 lumens; 2 hours run-time; 110 m beam range

Note: *The turbo output is measured at total run-time, including output at reduced levels due to temperature or the built-in protection mechanism. The over-heat protection will drop the turbo brightness level if the internal temperature reaches 60°C.
