Inforce WML

[a1madrid]

Ok so I am thinking about buying an inforce WML for the AR. I understand they have several models and on the inforce website I see an WML (not the WMLx) that has both the continuous on function and the momentary only function. I want one with these 2 functions but when I look elsewhere all I see are ones with momentary only as the only function or a continuous on function with a dimmer setting and a strobe. Am I just really confused? Also, I know that the WMLx has both the momentary only and the full and the strobe. I don't mind paying the extra coin for this one, but is 500 lumens too bright for inside a house? Big question I know, but any help is appreciated. Thank you.

both the current WML and WMLx function the same. they have a momentary-only setting and a full function setting, which includes the constant on. the WMLx is better suited for outdoors.

But is the WMLx TOO much for indoors?

I had a WML HSP 200 lumen model for a while, and then sold it.

I bought it to save money so not to have to buy a Surefire, and I like the idea of having a mount and off/on switch built-in to the light rather than having to deal with A light, a mount, and then some kind of tape switch to go with it. I quickly realized though that WML was not for me, I couldn't find a spot on my rifle that was comfortable to use it. I tried multiple locations and every time I found myself hating having to use the light.

I sold it and got a surefire fury, SR07 switch, and a HSP SBR light mount and haven't looked back.

IMO the HSP WML is a really good flashlight, that being said I do not think it is a good weapon light.

How did you try mounting the WML?

As a lefty shooter, I tried the 12 and 3 first, then I had a offset rail I tried to use, still couldn't get it comfortable for myself. I tried the 6 o'clock and using my knuckle to activate it with a VFG, then reaching around the rail with VGF removed with the light at the 9 o'clock.

Every time it would have to loose my grip on the rifle while trying to use the light, to give up ability to use the rifle reliably to use the light is a bad trade-off in my book. It was too forced.

You should have said it just didn't work for you not that it is a bad weapon light. I run mine on a Haley offset mount and the position is perfect for thumb activation. We are all different.

I have been very happy with the WML and WMLx. Excellent lights and with an offset mount you can achieve almost perfect placement. I am right handed and have only used it from that standpoint.

Same experience as GH41. I have the momentary on version and like it. The HSP mount puts it in the perfect spot for me.

I've read a few reports about the WML burning through batteries even when stored in the safe.

What are your experiences with that?
