I voted for "Other". I'm seriously "Old school".......

I have a TRL-2 by Streamlight.

It's kind of hard to use sights with NVGs on but I still want a pair   I've used high power green lasers at night to light up cars when I was a gunner. Yeah a green laser can light up a dark room

I've thought about a duel flash light set up for a bout 2 seconds but never saw the point. Every light I've seen has enough light to light up a room or reach out to the max effective range of a shotgun.

 

I like the TLR-1 a lot. seems like a lot of people like them for the same reasons, light, bright and durable.

I've yet to add a weaponlight to my Saiga, but recently picked up a small personal light from Fenix, the PD 30. It's really freakin bright (up to 265 lumens, they say) and has a strobe effect to supposedly disorient an attacker. Not sure how well that works compared to a non strobing light, but whatever.

 

Not sure if I'd want to mount it to the Saiga or not, but so far, I like it.

Anyone ever try LED LENSER?

LED battery life, but super high intensity lighting.

 

They're actually a Laser led projected through a lens.

 

I got one for Pops & he loves it.

It's the only LED light I've seen that can project like conventional lights.

They have modles that can mount to rails & produce 220 lumens while retaining a crazy long battery life.

They even have a 1000 lumen light. (not for mounting though)

What model does he have that mounts to a rail? Picture?

I got Pops's at a gunshow, so I'm not sure what the part #s are, but they do have different sized picatinny mounts up to 1 1/8" that can hold their 200+ lumen flashlights...

Their single AA light will work with any AA mag-light compatible mount & is 85 lumen.

 

But you have to be careful with these things.

They're banned on the highway in Germany because it really is a big laser going through a magnifying lens & they instantly momentarily blind people if shined in their eyes... And you wouldn't want that... now would you. ;)

It takes a few minuets to reorient & have your sight back fully after being hit by them & they CAN damage your eyes if you look at them very long... But it physically hurts to look into their beam, so a person can't look. They instantly look away out of pain. Which I guess is a good thing for safety.

 

There're warning labels on the lights & warnings all over the instruction books to this effect.

The 100 hour battery life :up: is what REALLY does it for me. :D

 

 

I posted the site I did up there, because they don't sell anything.

 

I wouldn't want to post active links to vendors because it's against the forum rules. :angel:

 

A quick google search using key words like LED Lenser gun / picatinny mount would likely lead a person to more info. They have both remote wired switches & rear mount buttons available.

There's a few different lumen options... You just gotta search.

 

Here's some demonstrations.
