Viridian Weapon Technologies has expanded its popular line of C Series of firearms accessories to include the new smaller Viridian C5L Micro laser sight and tactical light combo. Joining other popular models like the C5, C5L, CTL, and CTL+; the new C5L Micro reportedly takes innovation to the next level with more light output, redesigned features, and a smaller size.
The new laser and light combo unit is a compact version of the C5L. It offers the same features users have come to love from the family. These features include Instant-On technology, a rechargeable battery, and the SAFECharge magnetic quick-release charging system. Even with the smaller size, it still packs a wallop in power output. The <5mW Viridian Green Laser and 550 Lumen and 26,000 Candela high-output tactical light provide more than enough power from the sleek, compact 6061 aluminum body.
“Expanding on the product that put Viridian on the map, we’re thrilled to announce that the all-new C5L micro is now shipping and it’s better than ever,” said Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen. “We know human eyes see green better, and developing green lasers and lights that fit a wide range of firearms is our goal. The SAFECHARGE system is a game-changer; it adds ease-of-use and reliability critical to all shooting accessories.”
The C5L Micro works day and night. The tactical light includes low, medium, high, and strobe options. According to Viridian, the Micro has a 25-yard range during the day and up to a mile at night. Furthermore, the hard anodized body makes it durable. The Micro features a universal rail mount compatible with a wide array of compact pistols. From the Sig P365-XMacro to the Springfield Hellcat and many more, this light is compatible.
The Micro incorporates Viridian’s Holster Retention Feature, or HRF. The HRF gives a secure fit in the holster, regardless of carry choice. The HRF and Instant-On activation means the unit is always ready to go when needed. Like other Viridian products, the C5L Micro is covered by the company’s limited lifetime warranty. The Viridian C5L Micro laser and light combination unit has an MSRP of $229.
