Looking for the best weapon lights for the FNX 45?
We have used over 7 different pistol lights on this awesome handgun, and we have narrowed down to a couple that we liked based on beam performances, durability, control ergonomics and value for money.
Let's check them out...
Surefire XH30 - Best Overall
Why we picked the XH30 - XH30 is by far the best next-generation SF X300U that Surefire has to offer. The overall quality and durability are superior for anyone looking for the best weapon light for the FNX 45.
Multi-Lumen Intensities - Choose between 1,000 blinding lumens or 300 lumens for low profile applications.
Widest Flood Beam - Never miss a thing in the dark with Surefire's new TIR beam that spills far and wide to cover anything in the dark from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock.
Multi-Lumen Intensities - Choose between 1,000 blinding lumens or 300 lumens for low profile applications.
Slide Always In Battery - The extra light bezel length sticks out to prevent the slide from getting out of battery when muzzle is pressed against the target to save your life.
Disorient Threats - Use strobe to blind close up threats with intense flash and disorientation.
NOTE: The XH30 will not fit holsters made for Surefire X300U due to the difference in the front lens.
Features:
- 1000 Lumens
- 11300 Candela
- TIR Lens - Super Wide
- 2 CR123A Batteries
- 4.8 oz
- 3.7 in
- IPX7
Streamlight TLR 1 HL - Best Control Ergonomics
Why Buy The TLR 1 HL - More lumen intensity from the previous TLR 1 model. The Streamlight TLR 1 HL is lighter and by far has the EASIEST toggle switch to operate the light for home defense and professional use.
Easy Toggle Switch - By far the most user-friendly control switch for two-hand or one-hand operation without the need to hard press the switch to activate the light
Replaceable Lens Bezel - Repair the front lens due without having to replace the whole unit saves money and great for worry-free force on force simunition training.
Strobe Mode Added - Double tap for strobe for signaling, tactical applications, and blinding threats
Features:
- 1000 Lumens
- 15000 Candela
- 2 CR123A Batteries
- 4.18 oz

Olight BALDR Pro - Best Throw
Why pick the the Olight BALDR Pro - Similar to the Surefire X300U but at 1/2 the cost. The light does anything the X300U can but with brighter output and wider hot spot.
Increased Lumen & Candela - The PL Pro has about 1500 lumens and 19600 candela, which is 2X what the Surefire X300U offers so the shooter can positive ID targets further in the dark.
Ambi Control Ergonomics - Works for both lefties and righties
- 300-1500 lumens
- 19600 candela
- QD lever mount
