NEXTORCH WL15 Brings Speed & Simplicity to Weapon Lights
NEXTORCH North America has announced the WL15 Tactical Weapon Light, a rail-mounted illumination tool developed in Germany and built for law enforcement, military, and security applications. The light delivers a stated output of 1,200 lumens and 44,100 candela, producing a concentrated beam that the company claims reaches up to 459 yards (420 meters). Its purpose is to support quick identification of targets and surroundings in low-light or time-critical situations.
A notable element of the WL15 is its front-loaded battery system. This design allows users to replace the battery without removing the light from the firearm, reducing downtime during training or extended operations. The light also uses a quick-detach mount that attaches without tools, enabling rapid installation or removal if required. Controls consist of ambidextrous toggle switches offering momentary or constant activation, and the unit includes three interchangeable switch caps so users can tailor the interface to different grip styles or glove use.
To support a wide range of firearms, NEXTORCH includes five rail adapter plates. These are intended to provide compatibility with MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails as well as Glock-pattern rails and selected systems from S&W and Beretta. The housing is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum, and the light is designed to function under heavy recoil and environmental exposure.
The WL15 is aimed at duty use, defensive applications, and training environments where fast access to white light is required. Agencies across the U.S. can request participation in NEXTORCH’s 30-Day Test & Evaluation Program to assess the light in their own conditions. If you think you qualify, use this link to learn more.
