Looking for a Weaponlight

[RWK]

80-100 lumens...100+ HOURS BATTERY LIFE.

I checked their website and read 167 lumens and 130 hours on 4 AA's. Do you happen to know over how much of that 130 hours the 167 lumens is sustained?

BTW, their link to their "preferred online vendor" bombed.

There are different models. So it varies. I got mine I think on amazon.com.

In any event the chip controls the lumen output and I can't find my owner's manual,so I'm not sure how it exactly breaks down, but from what I remember you can actually set the dimming effect. IIRC at SHOT the owner said it that in "non-battery save mode" it produced full power full for 70% of battery life, then dims to 30% lumens until it goes dead.

Ok, so here is the deal. I am looking for a durable light for my carbine, because the cheap piece of shit that I have currently no longer works. The criteria I am looking to meet are 1. Must be durable, 2. Use CR123a Batteries, 3. Activated by a pressure switch, 4. Be in a reasonable price range (not really looking to spend $300+ on a f**king flashlight)

I realize this may be a tall order to fill, considering I am only looking to spend about $150-250. I had the opportunity to by a pentagon light MS2-LED for $125 and I passed it up like an asshole.

Personally I'm fond of the Surefire G2 nitrolon held on by a VLTOR mount and using an upgraded Cree LED element. Cheap (less than 100 bucks total) and very effective. You can also add a tapeswitch to that rig if you want.

I've gone to the G3Led in a Vltor mount for my carbines. I'm right at the $100 mark with this. If you added a tape switch, it would push you slightly over the $100 mark.

I just found this light for $130.00 shipped. I like Pentagon lights and you get the lifetime warranty just like Surefire. There also American Made. =0)
Don't no what I'm gonna do with it as I have a set up right now But I'm a sucker for a good deal........

Larue or Vltor offset mount with a G2/3 would be a good platform to start with.

Anyone tried out or know more about Laser Devices Inc. OP-6|OP-9 Weapons Series lights? Their both come in LED and Incandescent. I believe they're also Made in the U.S.A.!

After some serious thought on the realistic use of a 5.56 carbine I settled on ditching the idea of a rail all together and using the factory M4 hand guards with a surefire "tactical iluminator" mount on the hand guards in the 2 o clock position... I combine this with a X-300 that I keep on my belt as my hand held light...

Just my .02

P.S. I also almost exclusively use 20 round magazines... The 30s were really designed for machine guns and are far to big to be worn on a waist belt... That and I can not think of anything that I want to shoot 30 times without reloading that I wouldn't be alright with if I could only shoot it 20 times...

LOL! This is great. I wholeheartedly agree. I'm gonna go place an order for some new 20rnd P-Mags from Grant.

Wait til the elephant comes a trumpeting.........then me thinks you'll wish you had the extra rounds.
