Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
That's a heck of a good price for name-brand AND a mount.
If it has a momentary position on the tail cap this will be a top contender.
(I HATE that you need to become a detective to find out basic info like this - "momentary switch" is something that should be clearly stated in the specs)
Funny - the light I have here at the house is about the same size - all I'd need is a mount.
That's teh one with the broken tail cap switch - a momentary switch. Ugh.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Yeah, I like the ergos on that light (at least from looking at it in pics), but wasn't sure if it would be small enough.
I think after needing to mount it on a rail to attach to an MLOK slot, it may stick out too far to retain it's ideal design for the angled button access.
Maybe.
I know the current ones are better - and that 400 lumen is shorter than the brighter version.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Higher lumens is not always better. I took a low light shooting class and found that the sweet spot was about 150-200 lumens for a weapon light. This was due to splashback from barricades. My personal favorite hand carried weaponlight is a StreamLight night fighter, which has an output of 160 lumens I think. Run some drills in low light with barricades and see what I mean...

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Exactly - and I've never done any night shooting, but I've recently gotten some really high output "China lights" for general purpose/finding dog poos in the dark, and they are obnoxiously bright.
High output for a RIFLE or something intended for long distances OUTDOORS is fine.
Indoors though, it becomes more of a hindrance with the only real benefit being that you can totally blind a bad guy - while partially blinding yourself.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
Also thought I'd mention (too late for you, and may not have been any better) that I read that they were bought by S&W and there's a S&W version that costs less - BUT doesn't include the same mounting options, so that factors into it.
$51 direct from S&W - I haven't priced it elsewhere
Check it out. https://store.smith-wesson.com/delta-force-rm-10
(and I'll assume BOTH brands have momentary tail cap switches based on a graphic found on S&W site)
For MY purposes, the only drawback on THIS light is that it only has one brightness setting - "ON".
But for the price, it's hard to beat.

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
I'm really digging the idea of something like the Olight PL Mini's.
Gen 1s have 400 lumens and can be had for around 80 bucks.Si vis pacem, para bellumμολ ν λαβέWhat country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms!

Re: SMALL Weapon Lights for AR15 Pistols / SBRs
As I said in my post from yesterday it's a great lite but the toggles won't be practical a rifle with a side or 45 degree mount.
