We are proud to announce that the KLARUS X1 FlatTac flashlight has been featured in Tactical Gear Magazin, one of Germany’s renowned publications specializing in tactical equipment and outdoor gear.
In this professional review, Oliver Lang, Editor-in-Chief of Tactical Gear Magazin, evaluated five flashlight models from a tactical application perspective, focusing on operational logic, reliability, and performance in real-world scenarios.
1. Instant Tactical Activation from Any Status
For a flashlight designed for tactical applications, one of the most critical features is the ability to instantly activate high-intensity illumination from any status — especially directly from the OFF state.
A tail switch that can be easily identified by touch and operated quickly is essential for reliable performance in demanding situations.
Among the five tested flashlights, only three achieved excellent performance in this category, and the KLARUS X1 FlatTac was one of them.
2. Reliable Lockout Function for Enhanced Safety
A complete lockout function is an important feature for preventing accidental activation.
Unlike traditional flashlights that can be disconnected by loosening the tail cap, most flat flashlights feature built-in batteries and require an alternative electronic solution for power management.
The KLARUS X1 FlatTac provides a simple and effective lockout function by pressing the flat red switch three times, helping prevent unintended activation.
All five tested flashlights performed well in this category.
3. Editor’s Personal Choice: KLARUS X1 FlatTac
Each of the five tested flashlights offers unique advantages. However, Oliver Lang selected the KLARUS X1 FlatTac as his personal favorite.
He highlighted its excellent tactical operation logic, integrated glass-breaking bezel for emergency situations, and simple, intuitive handling experience, making it a practical and reliable choice for tactical applications.
This recognition from a professional German tactical gear publication reflects KLARUS’ continued commitment to innovation and excellence in professional lighting solutions.
Moving forward, KLARUS will continue developing high-performance and reliable lighting products designed for tactical professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday carry users worldwide.
