I have one that I use on my pistols, and while lamenting my lack of fundage to get a 910 or an LED Scout I thought of just popping the X200B on my rail. Application would be indoors 20yds and under.

I seem to remember Ned Christiansen the world-renowned 1911 gunsmith and M4carbine.net member as being a fan of X200’s on carbines. I think he even makes his own mount that is designed specifically for AR mounting up close to the FSB.

Not an X200, but here is my TLR-1 to give you an idea of what it would look like. :)

I have had very good luck running an X200A on the side of my RAS equipped MP5. The small compact light throws out enough power for the general range of this weapon.

I do like the idea of an X200 (preferably A not B in this case) as a very compact and durable backup light on the AR platform. It's powerful enough to get you by, robust enough to function, and compact enough to not be in the way with much added bulk or weight.

The newly realeased tail switch only adds icing to the cake in that package for me.

I was contemplating a somewhat similar question. I do have two sub-questions though.

1) What would be the best option for mounting on a rifle that doesn't have a rail handguard?

2) Can someone provide a link to pics and/or a retailer for the "tail switch"?

What is this new switch of which you speak?

Hmm, I was hoping for something like a pressure switch. I'm not too fond of remote switches.

My personal opinion is that the X200B is an excellent choice on a SBR or any gun that would be used for CQB. If you need a little more throw, then look at the X200A.

The new SF XT07 turns the X200 into a pretty good system IMHO. You get a removeable tape switch and a constant on switch.

Grant,

How does the X200a's throw compare to a Scout Light using a LU60 lamp head?

The LU60 or LU60A is the same as say a G2 (standard P60 bulb). The X200A is an LED (as you know) and does not offer as much throw.

Of the X200's, the A model has the farthest throw.

Thanks Grant, that's about what I thought...

After a few more dark place searches I am just not a fan of the LED's on a long gun. I know it is all subjective, but that just me. I still have my scout light on my 16in RR, but all in all I think it needs more light. Maybe more in the 90 lumen range. This is after getting pretty used to a 125 lumen 500A

In a recent search I found myself going back to my E2D over my L4 because I just was not getting the throw I wanted. I lost the L4 so now I don't have that problem. :mad:
