Viridian C5L Lght/Lsr Univrsl Fde
The Viridian C5L is a compact green laser and light combo built for shooters who want serious capability in a minimal package. Universal mounting puts it on nearly any handgun, and the combination of 650 lumens of white light, a 55,000 candela green laser, and Viridian's legendary INSTANT-ON technology makes it a go-to choice for duty, home defense, and range work. Unlike heavier, bulkier alternatives, the C5L proves you don't have to sacrifice features for size—it's machined from 6061 aluminum to be both durable and light.
What sets this generation apart is SafeCharge, Viridian's rechargeable power system that eliminates the battery swap routine. Charge it between sessions and it's ready when you are. The new Holster Retention Feature (HRF) improves compatibility with modern holsters, meaning your favorite carry rig has a better chance of playing nice with the C5L's profile. If you run an optic on your pistol, a light/laser below the barrel gives you a clean sight picture and faster target acquisition in low light.
Whether you're setting up a carry gun, duty weapon, or dedicated range pistol, the C5L delivers green laser precision and tactical illumination without the bulk. It's the kind of refined tool that separates "I have a light" from "I have the right light."

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the C5L fit my handgun?
The C5L has universal mounting, so it works with most handguns that have a standard Picatinny rail. Check your pistol's rail system—if it's a common tactical or duty gun, the C5L is designed to mount on it.
What's the difference between the green laser and a red laser?
Green lasers are more visible in daylight and at distance than red, making them easier to see and track in bright conditions. The C5L's green laser at 55,000 candela gives you a visible aiming point when you need it most.
How does SafeCharge work?
SafeCharge is Viridian's rechargeable power system built into the C5L. Instead of carrying spare batteries, you simply charge the light between uses, keeping it ready for your next session.
Can I use the light and laser separately?
The product includes both a 650-lumen light and a green laser; Viridian's INSTANT-ON technology ensures both activate reliably. Refer to the user manual for detailed activation and control options.
