Are blue laser weapon lights rare?

[Olight Vicky]

I always hear others talk about RL and GL beam. Do you know a weapon light with a blue laser? Its beam is brighter than an ordinary RL but not as glaring as the GL in close-range uses.

Baldr S BL——Compact Tactical Light

● Combining both a highly visible BL beam and 800 lumens of white light with a runtime of up to 140 minutes.
● Adjustable Rail: Slide the rail adapter back and forth freely to fix the light in the desired position. Quick installation and removal within one second
● Smooth Operation: Smooth momentary-on or constant-on activation through dual rear switches; easily switch modes with a quick flip in a concealed size.

Looks sick! What kind of warranty do these have?

Very neat!

Hi Sir,

This light is 2-Year Warranty. You can learn more about the warranty here: https://www.olightstore.ca/warranty.html

Your eye is a lot less sensitive to blue light so you need way more power to see the laser than you would a green one. If you can see the beam then you have to be super careful of reflections getting you in the eye. I have a couple of cheap ebay "5mW" lasers that are definitely not eye safe, they'll burn through a black garbage bag in an instant.

Will this light light mount on a standard Sig P226R rail, with what comes in the box? Every pic I’ve found shows it mounted on an MK25, which has the M1913 rail. I believe the 226R is specific to Sig.

Very nice. Any chance it’s battery only? I’m not a fan of rechargeable without the option to run batteries.

I'd like to see Olight take the lead on offering replacement batteries for their re-chargeable units..... if it saves one planet and all that stuff.....

What do you think Vicky? Is Olight working to reduce their carbon footprint?

As for your question, I first noticed blue lasers a few years ago and they don't really seem to be taking off so to speak, not sure if they are better then green but I do like green over red.

Rare? Not common that's for sure.

How far can the blue or green dot be realistically used?
The brochure says 130 meters but I assume that’s the white light.

Whoops, I just seen the special pricing is off so will look elsewhere…

Sorry Sir. The Baldr S does not have a battery version currently. I would recommend you browse this one if you don't like rechargeable light.

Thanks for your reply friend.

Olight doesn't offer replacement batteries for its rechargeable units currently, but this is a good idea. I will give feedback to our engineers.
Reducing our carbon footprint is what each of us should do, hopefully we can do better.

Hi Sir, sorry for the delay.

The light can't be used on Sig P226R rail. The following are its compatible firearms:


And these are in the box:

Hi Sir, the beam distance of the blue or green dot is 1500m.

1500M? Really? Maybe it could be seen from that distance but that’s not what I asked.

My question was “How far can the blue or green dot be realistically used?”

I run a valkyrie on my p226r with no marring and solid lockup.

It would depend on the rifle and how you have it sighted in but realistically out to 100 yards should be good for hitting steel plates in low to no light.

Daylight or cloudy maybe 25 yards maybe a bit more depending.

That's with Green, never tried Blue.

Being that a laser is set by the user for POI and doesn't easily adjust like a scope with turrets, it could be set for whatever distance you want. But because the beam will be perfectly straight and your bullet will arc, it will only be accurate for the one distance you've set it at
