LIGHTS
SUREFIRE HANDHELD LIGHTS The best lights out there; the beam quality of any other light is judged by how it compares to the Surefire Equivalent. Surefire_Handheld_Lights Surefire G2 ----- Great cheap little lightweight polymer personal light. It can be fitted with Z32 shock isolated bezel to make a reasonable weapon light, but not a true weapon light with battery retention. Surefire G2Z ----- G2 with shock isolated bezel and D-Ring. Basically it’s a nitrolon Combat Light. Surefire 6P ----- Original high output top quality aluminum personal light. Surefire 9P ----- Same as above, but 9 volts. Surefire Z2, Z3----- Combat light version of the 6P with shock isolated bezel and D-Ring. Combat light does not mean weapon light Surefire C2, C3----- Combat light versions of the 6P, 9P with a D-Ring, shock isolated bezel, and pocket clip. SUREFIRE EXECUTIVE SERIES –----- Top of the line personal pocket lights with extremely small frames. E1L and E2L are LED models similar to the LumiMax series. All others have incandescent bulbs that do not have shock isolated bezels or battery retention (E1E, E2E, E2O, and E2D). These have tough bulbs that work well on weapons since the bulb and batteries don’t “float”. E1x means 3 volts, E2x means 6 volts. They can share LED heads with much of the LumiMax series. The KL1 and KL4 LED heads are great for weapons use on the Executive Series. SUREFIRE DEFENDER (E2D) ------ An Executive series light. Basically it is an E2E with a crenulated bezel and tail cap. Suitable for use as a strike weapon, but small enough to fit in your shirt pocket. It can be used as a cheap mans M600 Scout Light for weapons use, but does not have a shock isolated bezel or battery retention. However, the E series bezel keeps the batteries and bulb from floating, so battery and shock isolation is not as important. The LU60A (P60/61 bulbs) shock isolated bezel can be fitted to it for a lightweight and bright weapon system. SUREFIRE LUMIMAX SERIES –----- Small LED lights with great run times and many features. Since all are LED’s, they are all shock proof, but many lack controls suited for weapon mounting. L1, L2, L3, L4, L6, L7 Surefire_LED_Lights SUREFIRE MILLENNIUM SERIES –----- Top notch personal combat lights, can be mounted to weapons with great success, but don’t have the battery isolation you really need with a true weapons grade light. Turbo heads and LED kits available for all models. M1 IR Illuminator, M2, M3, M3T, M4 Devastator, M6 Guardian. M3T is just an M3 with a turbo head. Surefire_Millennium_Series_Combat_Lights SUREFIRE WEAPONS LIGHTS These lights are all designed to take the recoil of weapons fire. They will either have shock isolated bezels and battery retention or an LED. All can be mounted to a weapon or standard rail in some way. SUREFIRE SCOUT WEAPONS LIGHT –----- Smallest, lightest weapon light available and utilizes the 5w KL4 LED head. It can be fitted with an incandescent bulb using the LU60A head (P60/61), std. E series incandescent head (MN02/03) or the KL1 LED head. This is basically a SF E2E/D with the KL4 LED head, integrated mount and tape switch assembly. It does not have battery isolation or shock isolation, but the LED heads do not need it and the design of the E series bezels keeps the batteries and lamp from “floating” so that they will also hold up to weapons use. Surefire_Scout_Light SUREFIRE MILLENNIUM UNIVERSAL M9xx Series Weapon Lights –----- Basically like the Millennium series handhelds, but have battery retention and either a lever mount or thumbscrew mounts built in. They have complete parts interchangeability with the Millenniums. M95x ----- 6V Small head M96x----- 9V Small head M97x----- 9V Turbo head, has greater throw but weighs more M98x----- 12V Turbo head, a M4 Dominator weapon light The last number indicates mount type M9x1----- Thumbscrew mounts M9x2----- Arms throw lever M9xL----- Larue Adjustable Mount Suffix indicates tail cap type C ----- Two step pushbutton, part way is momentary; all the way clicks on/off. P ----- Momentary push button on only, but twist for constant on. SUxx ----- Pressure pad switch with xx length lead. Typically 5, 6 or 7”. XMxx ----- C type switch + a pressure pad switch of xx length built into one. The pressure pad can be disconnected and a rubber plug put in its place. Surefire_Millennium_Series_Weapon_Lights SUREFIRE M5xx SERIES WEAPONS LIGHT FORENDS ------ Hand guard mounted weapon lights for the AR15. Not the best ergonomics for activation for most people, but the next best thing to a vertical grip set up. The B series is the brightest light available for weapons use. Simply remove your existing hand guards and replace them with the system. These are heavy and expensive units and can get in the way of many slings. Newer models feature extra navigation lights along with the blinding primary. They have 4 switches. 1-A pressure pad to activate the main light. 2-A constant on switch. 3-A lockout switch. 4-A small switch to activate the small navigation LED lights. M500----- Carbine length hand guards M510----- Round rifle length hand guards M511----- Triangular rifle length hand guards M520----- Sig 551 M560----- H&K G36K Carbine M570----- H&K G36 Rifle Suffixes indicated lamp assembly and voltage A----- 9 volt with small head AB----- 9 volt with turbo head B----- 18 volt with turbo head Surefire_Forend_Incorportated_Lights SUREFIRE M900 SERIES VERTICAL GRIP WEAPON LIGHTS ----- Integrated vertical fore grip and weapon light. Superior ergonomics for activation. A different tail cap is now available for selecting different modes such as lock out or constant on. They are very heavy and expensive. They also have LED navigation lights built in. They mount only to rails using either thumbscrews or throw levers. They have the same switching options as the M500’s, but have two pressure pads (one on each side of the vertical grip). You cannot mount a bipod with these and the LED navigation lights will interfere with many side attaching slings. M900----- Throw lever mount M910----- Thumbscrew mounts Suffixes indicated lamp assembly and voltage A----- 9 volt with small head AB----- 9 volt with turbo head Surefire_Vertical_Grip_Lights SUREFIRE CLASSIC UNIVERSAL SYSTEM WEAPON LIGHTS ----- These lights mount to weapons in various places. They have an aluminum body, shock isolated Z32 bezel, battery retention, a 7” tape switch, and available XM07 tail switch (tape switch + pushbutton). The first number describes the light or combination light/laser. 4xx----- 6 volt light + laser models 5xx----- 6 volt laser only models 6xx----- 6 volt lights 9xx----- 9 volt lights The last 2 numbers only describe the type of mounting hardware. x50----- no mounting hardware x59----- inside of front sight housing (light under or beside barrel) x60----- universal barrel mount x74----- front sight mount x76----- front sight mount x78----- front sight mount The most relevant models for an AR are the 650,659,660, 674, 676, 678, 950,969,960, 974, 976, 960, 460, 560, and 576 A suffix of “-05” or “-06” means a pressure pad tail switch of 5” or 6” long respectively. Surefire_Classic_Weapon_Light_Systems SUREFIRE SHOTGUN FORENDS ----- Classic Universal Light bodies mounted to custom forends that fit specific shotguns. All are 6 volts that use P60/61 bulbs except where noted. You can add the AXX extension to the 6 volt systems to use P90/91 bulbs, but the extra length can often put the bezel in front of the muzzle and adds even more weight to the front of the shotgun. 617FA / FGA- ---- Benelli Super 90 917FA ----- Benelli Super 90 (MN10/11 bulbs) 623FA / FGA----- Mossberg 500/590 621FA / FGA- ---- Mossberg 500/590 with 14” barrel 699S / T----- Remington 1100/11-87 618FA / FGA----- Remington 870 918FA----- Remington 870 9 volt light (MN10/11 bulbs) 636FA / FGA----- Winchester Defender with long for-end There are 4 switch configurations: FA----- pressure sensitive momentary activation switch and constant ON/OFF rocker switch FGA----- pressure sensitive momentary activation switch, constant ON/OFF rocker switch, and system disable rocker switch S----- Pressure sensitive momentary activation switch and system disable flag switch. T----- Pressure sensitive momentary activation switch and a constant-on flag switch Surefire_Shotgun_Forend_Lights SUREFIRE PISTOL LIGHT SYSTEMS Surefire has several different pistol systems with many features. Surefire_Pistol_Mounted_Lights SUREFIRE X200A/B The X200A/B have 5 Watt LEDs. The A model is designed for distance. The B model is designed for a lot of flood. Basically use the B for indoors use where you want to light up a whole room. The A model does not really have the range needed for and outdoor rifle, but it still has good range. Classic Pistol Light System . 6xx----- Classic System. Has the same bezel and bulbs as the 6V Classic Universal Weapon Lights. This system mounts to the frame of pistols with no rails and often has a replacement slide locks etc for mounting. A suffix of “R” indicates a constant on rocker switch with the slim line pressure switch. Otherwise they have only an integrated on/off switch in the frame. These are very long as they do not have side by side batteries. 607R----- Para Ordinance P14 w/slim line 610R----- Colt 1911 w/slim line 630----- Browning HighPower 637R----- Beretta 96F w/slim line 609R----- HK USP Full Size Frame 640R----- Sig P228, 229 614R----- Sig P220 633R----- Beretta 92F/SB Millennium, Nitrolon, Military Series Pistol Lights The other systems share a common naming system and mount to rails built into the guns frame. The first letter indicates the series. M1xx----- Millennium System. Has the same bezel as the 9V M3 and offers the brightest light (up to 225 lumens) you can mount to a pistol, but at a steep price, weight, and size. P1xx----- Nitrolon System. A lightweight polymer 6V pistol system. W1xx----- Military Series. These are rugged but heavier aluminum 6V pistol systems. The first number (second digit) is always 1. The second number (third digit) indicates whether or not the system has the grip activated momentary pressure switch shaped to the contour of the firearm. 1 means pressure pad, 0 means no pressure pad. The pressure pads cannot be easily removed. The final digit indicates what pistols the system mounts to X1x1----- Glock X1x2----- Springfield XD X1x3----- Sig P220 X1x4----- Sig P226, 228, 229 X1x5----- H&K USP Full Size X1x6----- Beretta 92F, 92SB, 96F Suffixes indicate what type of switching and activation the system has. None----- Constant on shuttle switch. Light can be locked on. This is the standard arrangement. C----- Constant on shuttle switch. Light can be locked on. D----- Disable shuttle switch. Light can be locked off. DG----- Slim line reduced contact momentary and system disable shuttle. This was developed for special forces that wanted to lock the light out and be able to activated it with the momentary pressure switch only by pushing it in just the right spot. C-DG----- Slim line reduced contact momentary and constant on shuttle switch. D-DG----- Slim line reduced contact momentary and disable shuttle switch. STREAMLIGHT Streamlight makes pistol mounted lights used by police departments everywhere (M3, M6, M3X, M6X). They are shock isolated with tough bulbs, but the switches are known to be on the weak side. Other than that they are excellent for pistol use or indoor carbine use. Streamlight_Tactical_Lights Streamlight handhelds are also great lights for the money. The TL series now feature lights advertised as shock proof and kits are available with pressure pad switches and light mounts. These lights should be fine for weapons use. PENTAGON LIGHTS Cheap and effective personal lights. Shock isolated bezels that seem to hold up to weapons duty quite well. The batteries and bulb are separated by the design. Their krypton bulbs have great throw and peripheral. Typically they have 95% of the performance of the Surefire weapons equivalent, but at less than half the cost for the personal light models. The X2 typically has a slightly better beam than a surefire P60, and the X3 has a beam slightly better than the P90. The models with rail mounts (throw lever or thumbscrews) typically cost much more, but the only difference is the mount. The L2 and L3 are LED versions which are basically shock proof and seem to have a beam that’s equivalent to the incandescent competition. For the money, these are the best weapons grade lights you can buy. The LED’s seem to be the way to go for a bomb proof cheap weapons light with average 6 volt throw. Pentagon_Weapons_Quality_Lights X2-HA H3-HA NIGHT OPS GLADIUS A revolutionary LED handheld light with a beam slightly better in both flood and throw than typical 65 lumen rated incandescent 6volt bulbs. It has a strobe mode, lockout position, digitally adjustable output, and momentary on switch positions. Built as handheld, but the LED and quality construction makes it great for weapons use with just a good mount. A tape switch is coming soon. Knight_Ops_Gladius_Weapon_Quality_Light LARUE TACTICAL BATTLE LIGHT A new high quality LED dedicated weapons light from the maker of some of the best hardware and mounts found on AR’s. The integrated body mount limits mounting positions, but typically works for 98% of us that use a vertical fore grip. This is a 9V LED with awesome range, a good hotspot, and long runtime. The light now comes with a spare body so you can use the light as a handheld as well. Larue_Tactical_Battle_Light LASER DEVICES Very good lights and weaponlights at reasonable prices. They are shock isolated and have great beams. Laser_Devices Laser Devices OP-6 with push button and built in throw lever top, OP-9 with switchable tailswitch and throw lever bottom LAS/TAC2 Laser Devices OP-9 with tapeswitch PELICAN LIGHTS Great personal lights. They are generally light, small, and balanced with beams similar to the competition. INOVA High quality LED lights with great performance and a tube like appearance. They are not bright enough for tactical use, though great for a general light or navigation. (I need some good commentary and information on these) BRINKMAN LX MAXFIRE This is a cheap Wal-Mart light known to start fights between AR15’ers because it’s cheap, but works pretty dang good as a weapons/tactical light. DO NOT TRUST YOUR LIFE TO THIS LIGHT, but its perfect for a plinker and makes a great cheap handheld. TAC-STAR Cheap Lights. Ok for fun. Not many people have used them or like them. DIGILIGHTS Cheap. Not many people have used them, and probably for good reason. |

The Big Flashlight Comparison Chart
Weights should be the weight of the light or system with batteries installed, but are not guaranteed correct. Lum is the factory rated output in Lumens. XX/YY denotes two different bulbs avaible and their respective output or runtime. Bezel Diameter is the OD of the bezel. AA/BB means a bezel with AA diameter, but other restriction such as bumps or raised patterns that can make the effective diamter BB. The AA dimension would be used when choosing filters.

THROW DISTANCE RATING CHART
This Chart lists the bulbs/heads/LED's of various lights and ranks them by their ability to "throw" light over distance ID range will be considered as the max distance where you can still tell the difference between 2 peoples faces in complete darkness considering only light factors, not distance/eyesight factors. I own none of these lights, so comparisons and actual experiences/tests are welcome. Hotspot @ 10' is the diameter of the "hotspot" of the beam in inches measured from 10 ft away. Please don’t go on about my X is a lot better than Y without doing a physical, personal test and comparison. Im looking for actual comparison with comments like; " X and Y have the same throw" or " I could identify the target with X from 10 yards farther away than with Y". __ ____________________ __ ___ Lumens _ Run _ ___ _____ Hotspot _ __ 150 - blinding_________ Volt ___ Rated __ Time _ ID_ Range at 10' _ Comment________________________ _1 SF MN21 Turbo Head__ 18V __ 500 ____ 20 ___ 160 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _2 SF MN61 Turbo Head__ 12V __ 350 ____ 20 ___ 130 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _3 Pentagon BX-4________ 12v __ 250 ____ 60 ___ yd___ 0 in.____ Not released yet _4 SF MN20 Turbo Head__ 18v __ 250 ____ 60 ___ 100 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _5 SF MN60 Turbo Head__ 12V __ 225 ____ 60 ___ 90 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _6 SF MN16 Turbo Head__ 9V ___ 225 ____ 20 ___ 90 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _7 SF MN11____________ 9V ___ 225 ____ 20 ___ 80 yd___ 0 in.____ Better throw due to reflector _8 SL TL-3______________ 9v ___ 200 ____ __ ___ 75 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _9 SF P91______________ 9V ___ 200 ____ 20 ___ 70 yd___ 0 in.____ Lots of flood __ ____________________ __ ___ Lumens _ Run _ ___ _____ Hotspot _ __ 100 - 150 lumens_____ Volt ___ Rated __ Time _ ID_ Range at 10' _ Comment________________________ _1 SF MN15 Turbo head 9V ___ 125 ____ 60 ___ 70 yd___ 0 in.____ Awesome throw, tight hotspot _2 SF MN10____________ 9V ___ 125 ____ 60 ___ 60 yd___ 0 in.____ Better Throw due to reflector _3 Pentagon BX-3________ 9V ___ 135 ____ 60 ___ 60 yd___ 0 in.____ Much like theSF MN10 _4 SF N3 + LED_________ 9v ___ 140/20 __ 40/150 60 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _5 SF N2_______________ 9V ___ 105 ____ 60 ___ 60 yd___ 0 in.____ Interchangeable with MN15/16 _6 SF N90 + LED________ ___ 140 ____ 40 ___ 60 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _7 SF P61______________ 6V ___ 120 ____ 20 ___ 55 yd___ 12 in.___ Great outdoor weapons light _8 LD OP9_____________ 9V ___ 125 ____ 60 ___ 55 yd___ 0 in.____ Adjustable spot to flood, but overrated _9 LD Lac/Tac2 (5W)_____ 6V ___ 125 ____ 60 ___ 55 yd___ 0 in.____ Lots of flood 10 Streamlight M3X______ 6V ___ 125 ____ 60 ___ 55 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ 11 SF N5_______________ 9v ___ 110 ____ 50 ___ 55 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ 12 SF P90______________ 9V ___ 105 ____ 60 ___ 50 yd___ 0 in.____ Good flood. 13 Larue Tactical Light 5W 9V ___ 100 ____ 90 ___ 50 yd___ 0 in.____ Best LED __ ____________________ __ ___ Lumens _ Run _ ___ _____ Hotspot _ __ 60 to 100 lumens______ Volt ___ Rated __ Time _ ID_ Range at 10' _ Comment________________________ _1 LD Lac/Tac2 Xenon____ 6V ___ 95 _____ 60 ___ 45 yd___ 0 in.____ Adjustable spot to flood, but overrated _2 LD OP6_____________ 6V ___ 95 _____ 60 ___ 45 yd___ 0 in.____ Adjustable spot to flood, but overrated _3 Laser Devices OP-6____ 6V ___ 90 _____ 60 ___ 45 yd___ 0 in.____ Overrated Lumens and useful run time _4 Gladius (5W)_________ 6V ___ 80 _____ 90 ___ 45 yd___ 0 in.____ Great Throw for LED, adjustable intensity. _5 SF N1_______________ 6V ___ 65 _____ 60 ___ 45 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ _6 Streamlight M3X LED__ 6V ___ 125 ____ 60 ___ 40 yd___ 0 in.____ Great handgun light, lots of flood _7 Pentagon BX-2________ 6V ___ 70 _____ 60 ___ 40 yd___ 0 in.____ Like SF P60_______________________ _8 SF P60______________ 6V ___ 65 _____ 60 ___ 40 yd___ 12 in.___ Minimum Performance for weapons light _9 Brinkman LX__________ 6V ___ ?? ______ ?? ____ 40 yd___ 12 in.___ Not a quality beam, dark spots etc 10 Streamlight M3_______ 6V ___ 80-90 __ 60 ___ 40 yd___ 0 in.____ Great handgun light, lots of flood 11 Pentagon L-2 (5W)____ 6V ___ 70 _____ 60 ___ 40 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ 12 SF KL3 (3W)new______ 6/9V ___ 19 _____ 255 __ 40 yd___ 0 in.____ Very small hot shop, no real flood 13 Pelican M6 (3W) 6v ___ ___ _____ ___ ___ 40 yd___ 0 in.____ ___________________________________ 14 SF MN03____________ 6v ___ 60 _____ 75 ___ 35 yd___ 0 in.____ Small, very tough bulb.

The following Surefire Bodies have threads (head and tailcap) identical to that of the Executive Series
E1E, E1L, E2E, E2D, E2L, E2O M600 Scout L4 The L1, L2 and A2 share the same TailCap (Z62 I believe) The L5 and L6 share the same bodies as the M2 and M3 The L7 shares the same body as the 8AX |

Haven't had time to look through everything but the above can be added. The XM & SU series can all be ordered in various lengths as well as the stand alone detachable tapeswitches coming in various lengths. |

Amend the above to: SUREFIRE SCOUT WEAPONS LIGHT – Smallest, lightest weapon light available and utilizes the 5w KL4 LED head. Can be fitted with an incandescent bulb using the LU60A head (P60/61), std. E series incandascent head (MN02/03) or the KL1 LED head. This is basically a SF E2E/D with the KL4 LED head, integrated mount and tapeswitch assy. It does not have battery isolation, but the LED heads do not need it. Personal addition: Due to its design it doesn't need shock isolation/battery retention with the KL1/4 or E series bezels. The batteries & lamp do not 'float' like in other systems. Also amend the following:

I thought Gladius was 3W LED not 5W LED.
|
|
|
Gladius is a T bin Lux III star based light.

Whoo Hooo.... Thanks new-arguy. I need a link to how to properly use a light for defensive/offensive use and the weights of light mounts and various dimensions ill describe above. Ill fix as many errors tonight as I can, but this may take a while to get straightened out. When I get it all fixed, Ill get forest or someone to put the Excel spreadsheet up on themarylandar15shooter site. |

In the Flashlight comparison chart, should I just take the last section (low battery runtime) out completely. Especially since it only applies to LED's and takes up room I could use to "neaten" things up.
Opinions please. |
|
|
You should list these with only the appropriate lamp & runtime for each light and then at the end put that it accepts both the MN02 & MN03. And, the MN02 lamp is rated 25 lumens. Also, here are some mount weights: LaRue Tactical customizable offset (for M95x/M96x/M97x/M98x) = 2.6 oz. LaRue 17 replacement = 1.7 oz. Daniel Defense offset = 2.0 oz. Viking Tactics offset = 1.0 Vltor CK & G series = 1.1 oz. Delete the Abrams ASAR mount as it's now the Vltor mount. |

Another correction:
The M1-IR uses the std. size tailcaps (comes equipped with the Z58) and the bezel is not interchangeable with the E series lights. |

Has anyone seen the new TacStar lights. I have 2 of them called the T9. its a 9-volt 135lumens for an hour+, shock isolated light. For $70 and under, they arent bad. I dont think TacStar makes them, I think they have either Pelican or Pentegon make them.

i would take a second look at digilight. i used to be a hardcore surefire fan, but they have let me down and i refuse to deal with them any longer, i don't know if they have gotten to big for their own good, but i there customer service has gone down hill. ymmv
I built a couple of digilights using their parts from distributors. I use there t12 with a range extender head and find it to be very adaquate for identifying targets out to 100yds. I just recently went 'yote hunting with it attached to my AR. I have also put close to 1000 rnds with it mounted on there(left off) but probably around 100-200 or so rounds where is was on for an extended amount of time mounted. price for putting together one was around 120.00 including the price of the mount. i also carry a t12 as my truck light and it has well with stood the abuse i have put it through. and i carry a t9 daily at work along with a inova 5led floodlight(which is a great little light by the way). and have a t6 mounted on my helmet(i'm also a vol. firefighter) I still have a few surefire lights and comparing digilight to them, the quality is pretty much the same if not a little better as they use glass lenses instead of plastic, and through my own experience they will melt in a short amount of time. and the cost of digilights is about the price of a surefire. and I deal with blackrifles.com as a digilight distributer and their customer services is absolutely excellent. I also have a friend that I bought a t9 for when he when over to the sandbox. he comes back home tommorow, but he is very impressed with how the light held up during his tour, including the life span of the bulbs, he had to change it only once while he was over there, he said he when through quite a few batteries over there. he leaves in a few weeks to go to afganistan, and he is taking the t9 with him. |

Thanks, I was just wondering. So what is your thoughts on this setup, as you have it shown?
For the record if anyone is looking for a tape switch only. CAA has one for $34.95 Part # PS8G2. dAvE |
|
|
So, will the XM tailcap work with Pentagon X2's or X3's?
|
|
|
No. Surefire stuff wont work with the Pentagon Stuff. Check with BrightFlashlights or Grant for tailcaps for the Pentagons.
And I gotta get back on this FAQ sometime. Lots of new stuff since December. |

Why are junky pentagon lights so junky they give junk a bad name? Someone MUST know
|
|
|
I only own Surefire so I dont have personal experience, but everything I have heard about Pentagon has been great. I plan on buying a few IF I ever get around to building my next rifle. Lousy negative bank accounts I would have to say most people think Surefire is first, but expensive. Pentagon is a very close 2nd and a lot cheaper. Where have you been getting your info? |

Should this read that the Kt2 uses an N2 lamp? Does this also mean that I could put a KT2 on my 9P and then use an MN16 for 225 lumens with a turbo reflector? If so, that seems to be a good setup. I just got a 500 lumen M6 Gaurdian and would love to mount it on my forend. Are there any mounts available for the M6? Somehow, my poor little 200 lumen 9P with it's 91 is suddenly lacking... |

Yes, the KT2 uses the N2 lamp but you can use the MN15 & MN16 as well. There are no mounts that I'm aware of for the M6 Guardian. |

So you explained red and blue filters but what are the green filters good for, the streamlight thunder ranch light includes a green light filter
Just curious did some searching with no real results other than navigation. |

Not a clue myself. maybe someone else knows. |

Purchased a digilight T6 some time ago for $35.
it was rated for 70 lumens. For the money, it was "ok". Now that they're $55-$60, I'd pass (unless there's been a model upgrade I'm not aware of). brightness? with fresh batteries it was about as bright as my SF A2, but the beam wasn't as "clean" with little dark spots throughout. given the choice (considering the digilight's new price) I'd take a SF G2. The real champ here is the Pentagon lights X3 that I just received (thanks Calvin for the groupbuy). Plenty of "aura" for peripheral identification, with a super-bright, concentrated central beam that's positively blinding. The X3 is going to make a dandy weapon-light. |

As far as green filters go I have heard that they are good for hunting since they do not spook game and are supposed to preserve night vision. I have not put this to the test other than using in a hiking situation (A2 Aviator in Green) when we came across javelina on the trail at night. The pigs just sat there looking at us, but then javelina have never really run off when I have come across them in full light as well.

Can anyone shed any light on the quality and performance of the Pentagon UX200 and UX300 lights.
Thanks 11BLT |

This might be a stupid question but I am searching for a flashlight for my Dads Birthday. I cant stand seeing him working on airplane with a huge 4D battery mag light. How many Lumen are the Mag lights? I see allot of 80 lumen lights but dont know if thats enough. My dad works indoor allot but need as much light as possible. I read on page one that 240 lumen is too much for indoor. Yet allot of the 112 lumen flashlight are too big still. I want to get him a small one yet not blind his eyes.
|
|
|
Any of the good 60 lumen lights mentioned will have a brighter and better beam than a 4D mag light. Get him a Surefire G2, Pentagon X2 or their chepo light, or any of the other good 6v (2 battery) lights from Streamlight or . Be sure to get plenty of batteries online cause they cost $5 each at Wal-Mart. Thats the big advantage to a Mag Lite- D batteries are everywhere.
If your looking to spend over $100, get him an E2, Aviator, L2,U2, etc from surefire the Streamlight version of a Gladius. All are AWSOME lights that will last a lifetime |

Depending upon your budget I would strongly any of the following:
Surefire: G2 / G3 / 6P / 6PD / 9P incandascent models and I then I would also consider the KL3 LED head as an accessory. The Surefire K2, L2 & L4 LED's are also excellent recommendations. Pentagon: The eX2 is a great deal followed buy the X2 & X3 but I also believe the L2-3w LED would be an excellent candidate. Streamlight: The Scorpion & Scorpion LED are great buys but I also believe the Tasklight 2L 3w LED is a prime choice with its dual output modes. |

Hey Calvin I bought a couple products from you, two 6P's and a TLR2
Question: Why is the M600A so dam expensive? $375 retail is crazy! What features does it have to justify the cost? |
|
|
Hey calvin,
I got an L2-HA from you last september. I was wondering if I could put a tailcap with a remote tapeswitch on it. The Pentagonlight website was clear as mud on that score. Any light you could shed on the subject would be appreciated. Er, no pun intended. |
|
|
Sorry for not seeing this sooner... yes, there is a tapeswitch option for the Pentagon lights: TR1-BK is a straight lead tapeswitch with black tailcap housing TR2-BK is a coil corded tapeswitch with black tailcap housing TR1-HA is a straight lead tapeswitch with a hard anodized tailcap housing TR2-HA is a coil corded tapeswitch with a hard anodized tailcap housing |

Part of it's the KL4 5w LED head and part of it's the included tapeswitch, both are relatively expensive components when you look at their individual pricing. Just remember, sometimes it is possible to find better pricing if you'll contact your favorite dealer. |

Does anyone have a pic of a Pentagon MS2 or MS3 on a rail? -I know they are excellent lights, but they sound a little large to mount on a forend?
Thanks in advance |
|
|
Anyone know if there is a CREE LED for a M951XM?
|
|

You can use Surefire's P60L drop-in LED module, it will work with both the s.i. bezel and the isolator of the M951/2 series lights as well as the Classic series & 6v shotgun systems. |

Calvin-
Will either the Vltor CK mount or The Larue LT-606 Mount fit my Surefire M3CB? Specifically the region north of the rubber baffle on the light and south of the bezel/head. |

Calvin (Kevin?), do you know what I'm doing wrong with my G2 Nitrolon? It keeps blowing bulbs.
My story: I bought it at a local gun shop about 6 months ago on impulse (it was hanging next to the ammo cans that I was looking through). I had read great things, but I thought, "$30 for a flashlight - this had better be worth it." I took it home, installed the batteries, and tested it - wow. I put it on my nightstand for "what was that sound downstairs?" patrol at night. I have since turned it on 3 times. If you add up all the times, it is about 5-10 minutes tops. The second time I turned it on - bright light for a split second, then dead. I tested the Surefire batteries - 3.09V DC each. I called Surefire, and they apologized and sent me a new P60 lamp assembly. I installed it, tested it for a minute, and put it back on my nightstand, assuming I had gotten a bad lamp from the factory the first time. Third time I turned it on just now (about 4 months later) - same thing: bright for a split second, then dead. I called Surefire again - apology, new P60 being sent out. This time, the guy said to keep both dead lamps in case it dies again and all needs to be sent back. What am I doing wrong? I am using their batteries that came with it. I have never dropped the light or spilled anything on it. All times I have used it, I twisted the tailcap on instead of pushing the rubber doohicky. My bedroom is neither humid, hot, nor cold. I don't let it run at all - just on, then off after a minute or so. Do you think I have some kind of intermittent short across the bulb or something, or do you think I got two dud P60s? Would buying an LED assembly for it make this go away? I just wish I had a working flashlight I could count on, since I paid $35 with tax for it. Surefire CS is great, but I want to be able to trust this thing and not need CS. I'm afraid it will blow another lamp when I need it most. You sell lots of them, so I figure you'd know more than anyone. Thanks for any info you can provide (and for all the great YHM gear you sold me in the past). |

Do have a 4 year old that likes to use your light as a hammer?
Seriously, I'm really not sure what's happening, the failures you've expierenced do sound like a defective lamp issue but the frequency is definitely abnormal for even the unluckiest individual. Send me an IM or an email via AR15.com along with your address and I'll replace the G2 for you. Just return the other and I'll play with it when it gets here to see what's happening. |

Nah, I couldn't ask you to do that. I bought it from a local gun shop, so it's not your problem. I just was hoping you'd say, "oh, because of the current regulator design, you need to turn it on at least once a month" or something. I have looked it over (what little I can see without destroying it), and it looks fine to me. I have had quite a few circuits classes, and I don't see any way it could go bad (no real way shorts could cause lamps to blow unless the short is in the lamp assembly), but I thought it was maybe more complex than it looked. I've never dropped it, and I leave it stored on its side on the night stand. I'll stick in the new lamp assembly and hope for the best. If it blows, I will send it all back to Surefire with the dead P60s too. Thanks for the offer to help, though. I really do appreciate it. |

I want to build an ar-15 upper and I want to use the 12 inch Yankee Hill forearm. I also want to get a tactical flashlight (the M900A Vertical Foregrip Weaponlight or the Pentagon MD3R LED Laserlight) but I'm not sure where to position it. I'm worried that where I want to place it may be too far back from the end of the forearm restricting some of the beam of light. Therefore I'm thinking that I need to get the shorter forearm so that the end of the flashlight lense area will be flush with the end of the forearm or stick out slightly further giving me more light. What is the rule for tactical flashlights to get the most optimum light. I really am interested in the 12 inch forearm because it allows more room to add other devices. What is your expert advice on this?? Am I putting too much thinking effort into building this upper or not?? Any help would be appreciated. I want to do it correctly the first time around.
