Any Experiences with Surefire IntelliBeam Technology Yet?

**contax_shooter** · 11-01-16, 08:16

I am in the market for a new weapon light and the IntelliBeam is the newest thing out for one of Surefire's higher lumen output offered: M600IB.

Curious if anyone has been able to field it yet?

I have one on a rifle and haven't noticed much difference from my other Scouts or X300U's on my pistols. I need to run it some more to really shake it out, but no complaints so far.

I've had one for a few months. I haven't stretched out it really far, but I have used it a decent amount and t definitely works. I need to contact SureFire though because it does a weird thing sometimes where it doesn't always turn on until I slap it. It's only about 35% of the time but that's still pretty significant. Not sure if that's just mine or all of them. I did have it right next to a BCM comp for a little while before moving it back a tad, but I don't think it was enough that it should have messed it up.

Thanks for the feedback. Does it only come with the clicky tail cap?

Edit: called Surefire to confirm it only comes with the clicky tail cap.

Surefire M600IB + Arisaka Inline M-LOK + URX4 for those curious on the clearance. The IntelliBeam head is certainly larger than expected, didn't get a chance to run the rifle in a low-light class yesterday during the room clearances. It adjusts quite well when running around the house though.

Yeah it's a sizable head. I'd prefer it to be the same size as the 600U and offered in tan, but the technology behind it is still pretty cool so who cares.

The furthest point of the light flexes so in this case, the larger diameter of the head is a benefit with less damage to the mount, light or rail when considering the front end is bashed around with minimal travel/bending beyond damaging.
