Constructed from billet aluminum, the build quality and machining are on par with lights twice the price. Starting at the top, the crowned bezel is snag free and protects the lens from directly contact. Olight doesn\u2019t specify lens material, but it feels and sounds like glass \u2013 which I prefer. The reflector is a traditional style reflector with the LED in the center and the laser emitter sits above it. Between the head and the body is the new mode selector ring. Olight moved away from their rear sliding mode switch to the new rotating ring. The ring is solid, tight, and clicks into place with ease. Just beneath the selector ring are the windage and elevation adjustment screws for the laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240207-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" class=\"wp-image-155151\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240207-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240207-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240207-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240207-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240207.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Here you can see the different light modes &#8211; light only, laser + light, laser only.

They switch between their \u201cSpecial\u201d weapon only cable, the 1A charging cable, and the MCC3 1A\/1.5A\/2A charging cable. It\u2019s usually not a big deal since they always provide a charging cable, but now I must remember which one it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240205-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" class=\"wp-image-155154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240205-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240205-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240205-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240205-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240205.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Size Comparison (Left to Right): Baldr Pro R, Baldr Pro, PL-Pro Valkyrie, Baldr RL Mini <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Use<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olightstore.com\/baldr-pro-r.html?streamerId=1428550950932369410&amp;channel=default&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"Olight_BaldrProR_Links\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Baldr Pro R<\/a> is simple and easy. It features a familiar quick detach throw lever that opens, expands, and closes tightly on the rail. Just make sure to switch out the rail insert if using it on anything other than a Glock.

Press and hold the switch for momentary use. A quick press and release will activate continuous mode. Double press the rear switch on either side to toggle between high and low output mode. This is for the LED only, the laser does not have multiple brightness settings. Press both switches simultaneously to activate the strobe. To switch between laser and LED, rotate the selector ring to your desired setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" title=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240170-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" class=\"wp-image-155155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240170-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240170-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240170-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240170-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240170.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Charging takes about 1.5 hrs. and the cable will turn green when complete.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Charging the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olightstore.com\/baldr-pro-r.html?streamerId=1428550950932369410&amp;channel=default&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"Olight_BaldrProR_Links\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Baldr Pro R<\/a> from dead to fully charged takes just under 1.5 hrs. To charge the light, place the magnetic charging cable near the base of the light and watch it snap into place. The cable turns red when charging and goes to green when it\u2019s complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first installed the Baldr Pro R on my unloaded and empty AA-19, it was noticeably forward heavy. The head of the light protrudes another ~1.5 in. past the end of the gun. However, with a loaded magazine inserted, the gun feels very well-balanced. On my full-size SIG P320 X-Five it feels unnoticeable since it\u2019s already such a heavy gun. But it does fit nicely under the barrel. The controls naturally land where my index finger rests and where my thumb is on my support hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240198-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" class=\"wp-image-155156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240198-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240198-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240198-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240198-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240198.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The controls are easy to manipulate on either side.

Sighting in the laser was just like any other \u2013 adjust windage and elevation until you\u2019re hitting where you want. There was negligible POI shift between the two guns, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olightstore.com\/baldr-pro-r.html?streamerId=1428550950932369410&amp;channel=default&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"Olight_BaldrProR_Links\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Baldr Pro R<\/a> held zero on the AA-19 I originally zeroed it for. After using my Baldr Mini RL, I really enjoy having a laser with my light. It\u2019s easy to identify what you\u2019re aiming at with the light while having an easy reference point of impact with the laser dot. You don\u2019t have to be aiming perfectly to get hits on target with a laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240177-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" class=\"wp-image-155157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240177-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240177-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240177-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240177-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PB240177.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Olight makes a tape switch accessory for the Baldr Pro R that would be better than using the rear switches when on a long gun.

I also tested it on a COX Arms 5.56 pistol. It had no problems handling the recoil from the AR pistol. This wasn\u2019t my favorite configuration since it was slightly awkward manipulating the switches when it was mounted. It sticks out from the rail a good amount. They do make a remote magnetic pressure switch which would solve this problem.

Inside the house, the low setting is way more than I need. The color temperature appears to be a cool white. On high, it\u2019s almost too bright. It is certainly disorienting at nighttime being on the receiving end, especially the strobe. The beam pattern has a noticeable hot spot with surrounding light flooding the area. It does a good job at lighting up entire rooms inside and providing enough spill to identify surrounding areas when outside. The green laser is bright and has a crisp, focused, dot. It is easy to see in the high and low setting. Olight claims the light will reach to 200 meters, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s an accurate usable distance for this light. I would say anything within 100 yards is easily identifiable. You could possibly see objects moving out to 200, but it\u2019d be a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"382\" title=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outdoor-1024x382.jpg\" alt=\"New Baldr Pro R Laser+Light Combo from Olight\" class=\"wp-image-155159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outdoor-1024x382.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outdoor-400x149.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outdoor-150x56.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outdoor-768x287.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/outdoor.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Baldr Pro R is an upgrade and improvement over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olightstore.com\/baldr-pro-r.html?streamerId=1428550950932369410&amp;channel=default&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"Olight_BaldrProR_Links\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Baldr Pro R<\/a>.
