    I'm Trying Out a New Carbine Light for "Inside the House"

    https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/ne...series-lights/

    I purchased one of these over the weekend, and mated it with this bayonet lug mount.

    The whole point was to have a lightweight light and mount for inside the house.

    Now, if the theory is to blind an intruder with your weapon light, then this is definitely NOT the way to go. It is just bright enough to illuminate the target, and the red dot sight's dot is visible with either the red or the while LED.

    Pros:

    1. Very lightweight.
    2. Out of the way unless you need it.
    3. Easy to activate.
    4. Brightness compatible to use with an RDS.


    Cons:

    1. I had trouble mounting it to the KZ mount. Either the light's rails are out of spec or the KZ rail is out of spec. I had to tap it on with a rubber mallet and it was obvious the the rail was shaving material from the light.
    2. I uses somewhat of an oddball battery (2016). I would have preferred is use a 2032 like the RDS.
    3. It is definitely not bright enough to blind an attacker.
    4. It does not appear it would survive very much abuse.



    I'm also keeping my eye open for a better, brighter alternative in the same sized package.
