X-Series · FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which X-Series flashlight should I buy?
Pick the X14 for everyday carry, the X16 for high-impact duty jobs, X30 for long-range outdoor work, and the XP40 for professional trade work.
How bright are X-Series flashlights and how far do they throw?
Brightness ranges from 1,400 to 4,000 lumens depending on the model. Throw distance ranges from the XP40’s 330 meters to the X30’s 574 meters.
Are X-Series flashlights waterproof?
Yes. Every X-Series light is rated IP68 — fully dust-tight and submersible to 2 meters — and drop-tested to 1.5 meters, so it keeps working in rain, mud, and snow.
How are they charged and what batteries do they use?
All models recharge over USB-C with fast charging — no proprietary dock. Cells scale with size: an 18350 in the X14, 18650 in the X16, and high-capacity 21700 cells in the X30 and XP40.
