I just got this in today, so I mounted it up in various positions to see what I preferred. I thought I'd take some photos in case anyone was interested in how the light works in this position.
The 9 o'clock position on the rail was too far to move my thumb from its spot on the top, so I put the light on at 12 o'clock, relocated the front sight back a few inches, and it seems to be a good fit.
The irons also clear the top of the light. The only downside seems to be that the light intrudes into your sight picture when using an Aimpoint CompM4, but I don't think this will affect me much, since it occupies about as much space as a permanent iron sight would anyhow.
The light is blisteringly bright at 200 lumens. The switch is angled very well and resistant enough that you can rest your thumb on it if you like, but you have to deliberately press it to activate it. Still, I'd rather just leave my thumb on the rail. The button is momentary only, with no silly power levels to worry about.
Another interesting feature is the lockout bar that you can raise to prevent any NDs with the light. This is a good option for travel, as well since you don't need to worry about unscrewing the bezel or removing batteries anymore.
