I am looking to equip a couple of AR's with lights. I am just not all that excited about going down the rabbit hole of custom LED retrofits, optimal spill, lumens, and candelas, switches, this vs that mount, tape switch vs endcap switch, etc. Makes me tired to think about it.
Lights will go on suppressed 11.5 or 14.5 uppers, potential use is in home defense or dealing with whatever is trying to eat the chickens at 2 AM. Anticipated target ID/light up distances 50 yards or less.
Not afraid to pay for quality, don't want to get into trying everything on the market. No energy for that.
What I'm looking for is the "just buy a 6920" equivalent flashlight setup. Tell me what works for 90% of the users.
I don't currently run a forward grip. Pic rail side mount preferred. Thanks.
(Hesitate to add this, as I don't want to bias the responses. But FWIW I have a couple Surefire X300 Ultra and Streamlight TLR-1 HL laying around (both 1000 lumen). Not sure if one of them would get 'er done in the way others could. Don't have to use either but if they would be serviceable or could be modified to work with a new switch or something I'm all ears. )
