NEED HELP FOR LIGHT.

MR.MAGOO · #1 02-09-08, 10:29

i was wondering if anyone has experience or know about the Streamlight TLR-1 Led tactical light? im not really looking for something pricey for a light, something somewhat cheap, but alright for brightness. i was wondering if anybody has used it or how good it is. thanks.

What firearm will this be mounted to?

MR.MAGOO · #3 02-09-08, 10:38

a bushmaster m4 a3, with picatinny UTG rail.

I would recommend a Surefire G2 and Viking Tactics mount. That will get you an excellent tactical light placed in an ergonomic spot for $46.

MR.MAGOO · #5 02-09-08, 11:04

wow, awesome you basically nailed it on the spot. thanks a lot. i was looking at surefire before and thought they were all to expensive but thats a good exception. and i wanted a surefire brand because i heard they are an awesome brand. thanks

Here is a pic of my G2 with a Vltor mount mounted to my KAC RAS rail on my sbr. BTW, put the Surefire LED lamp assembly in the G2. Nice setup.

MR.MAGOO · #8 02-09-08, 14:19

wow that is very nice, love that set up, yeah i think im going to go for that g2 light, and i wanted an adapter like you have where i could mount it on the 12, 3 ,6 or 9 o clock position. very nice thats what im doing now.

I had a extra TLR-1 lying around and put it on my newest AR. Its mounted at 9:00 and its easy to activate using a thumbs up grip with my TD stubby.

MR.MAGOO · #10 02-09-08, 14:45

thats cool, is it bright enough?

They are an ok light, but would save the little extra money and get a SF X300.

I used a TRL-1 LED on my M4 for a short time while I was in Iraq. I ended up switching back to using my 6P because the TRL-1 simply wasn't bright enough when transitioning from the sunny, desert sands to the dark, dank interior of a mud hut.

Streamlight has been around along time and has made lots of stuff for the mil.

ok yeah, cause i thought only the x300 was for mostly pistols but i guess it really doesn't matter to much, so you say through experience, to take the x300 over a g2?

Shihan · #19 02-11-08, 17:03

It really depends on what you want. If you want to save $ go with the G2.

well i know i need to spend enough to have a good light, the x300 isnt to bad so im gonna save for that, i dont want to spend 150 or a little less and have something bad, so id rather spend a hundred or two more on a good light.
