RL-100 (Shipping Late Fall 2026)

Delivery Update: Late Fall 2026.

RL-100 production is underway. We'll be racing to fill all open orders the day these lights land at our facility. We are all looking forward to getting these lights into the field - and to getting your feedback. We exist because of you guys and we know the RL-100 is going to serve you great.  

The First of it's Kind: The RL-100.

Introducing the most dominant rifle light the category has ever seen. The RL-100. The first entry-level weapon light you will be proud to run on your rifle. 

Simple. Loaded with critical features. Everything you need in one box. Reliable. Tested. Proven. Brutally cost-effective. The completed evolution of what the LCS started and Cloud's dominant answer to the HLX® series. 

Testing

We've been putting the RL-series lights through training and live fire for well over 18 months now. This is not a new product to us. It's just one you have not seen. If you were paying attention at SHOT Show in January in 2025 you might have seen a prototype sitting there on the counter. This is a very proven light.  

Limited Pre-Order Opportunity

Pre-Order is now closed. If you have a pre-order in place, congratulations! You paid less than anybody else will. And we genuinely appreciate all of you. 

Why Offshore? Why Now?

Because we refuse to let price keep good people from running quality life-saving equipment. Period.

Our American-made REIN line remains the professional / top-tier standard with features nobody else has. This is known. Nothing is changing there. 

But the RL-100 is the bridge — giving budget-minded civilians and agencies, access to something actually capable and worthy of field-use.

Some context:  RL-100 is first time we’ve ever seen a light at this price point perform and endure in a way you feel comfortable betting your life on. That was our threshold for making this product. Let that sink in. 

This is not a race to the bottom.

This is Cloud Defensive expanding the high ground. For everyone. Our design. Our specifications. Our standards. Being applied to the most cost-effective WML we've ever produced. 

A Word on Performance

The fastest performance summary ever: The output and beam profile is the same as the REIN 3.0, which is unmatched. Massive throw capability with useable spill. Optimized for rifle-mounted applications. There is not a better beam profile on the market.

We could have changed this for the RL-100 but we refuse to limit your ability to perform. The seriousness of this performance can not be over-stated. 

Output & Specs

• 100,000 Candela
• 1,250 Lumens
• 65 Min Run-time
• 1.3" Bezel Diameter
• 6.17" Length
• 6.9 oz Weight (W/ Battery)

Same as the REIN 3.0 in those regards. 

Innovation Merged with Simplicity

Our REIN series utilizes our battery-jack. The RL-100 does not. It's not needed. The RL-100 uses a USB-C Rechargeable 18650 battery. And the system is optimized for that. This maximizes life-saving performance. This minimizes technical issues. This simplifies design. 

Switching Matters

Each RL-100 ships with the same remote switch design that the REIN uses.

Constant-on at the remote switch with a momentary over-ride feature. And a push-button forward-click activation at the tailcoat for operational redundancy. That feature is critical. One of many that sets it apart from the others.

Yes, it will work with our domestically-made switches, including the dual spectrum switches for light/laser integration. 

The cable length is still 6", just like REIN.

Integrated Cable Control included. As always. 

The tail cap housing features similar geometry as the REIN, allowing you to "clock" it's orientation relative to your hand guard for optimal wire housing and protection. 

Light mounts

We ship RL-100 with a simple, familiar inline MLOK® mount. You don't need to source a dedicated new mount unless you want to. Same Scout® style mounts. No friction there. 

Warranty

Limited Lifetime Warranty. Like everything else we offer you. We have your back on this. As always. If it fails under normal use, you get a new one. And yes, it's just as tough as the REIN.

Construction

Engineered to be shockproof, dust-proof, waterproof and built to last. The RL-100 will handle the abuse of real world situations. By utilizing REIN design and Type III Hard Coat anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, we are able to achieve an ultra robust system that can take the hits. Our strongest-in-class lens is made from 3mm thick glass. This is what we are known for. The RL-100 is the same. The machines that make it simply sit on different soil. 

Power

RL-100 runs on a rechargeable button-top 18650 battery. ANSI/PLATO-FL1 performance standards, as usual.

RL-100 weapon-mounted light
Remote Switch & Tail cap insert (Single Button Constant - Standard Offering)
