Bought it at a police auction in a lot of other accessory crap.

This is the upper from about two days ago sans paint. I got stuck with the brace and tube in a trade with it. Already sold them off

1. It's the current contract light that's part of the SOPMOD (Block II) program. So, if you're building a "clone" of a modern U.S. military rifle, it's the correct light.
2. Because of its compatibility and features when combined with an ATPIAL. You can't review the WMX-200 on its own as just an individual light, because that's not its intended use. You have to review it as part of the "system", which is when it's paired with an ATPIAL. The WMX has two different lights, 1) a standard white light with a focused beam and 2) a low-power flood IR illuminator. These are two wholly separate LEDs and not just some "IR filter" applied to the white light LED. Both of these perfectly compliment the ATPIAL. The ATPIAL already has an IR illuminator, but it's extremely powerful and even at its widest setting is relatively focused. So the WMX's flood IR is incredible for indoors or CQB work. You can flip it on and simply guarantee that wherever you go the room will be completely splashed. If you combine that with a helmet mounted flood illuminator, you have the most perfect combination of IR flood to navigate around. It's a bit hard to explain, but in actual use, it's unreal.
The white light is also incredibly useful, in terms of the user interface. Soft momentary push for a very low white light, hard momentary push for high beam white light. Double tap for continuous high beam. Double tap momentary push for high beam strobe. The pressure switch plugs in to the rear of the clicks switch, meaning the clicky switch is still completely useable even with the pressure switch plugged in (and negates the need of a plug and separate button). The user interface is simply the best I've ever used on a weapon light.
Since both the WMX and PEQ are Insight creations, they use the same plug interface and accessories are interchangeable. Additionally you can get the Insight dual pressure switch that can control both from one minimal switch interface.
When shooting at night, it's a wonderful combination to leave the IR laser on full time, and then have the WMX's flood IR quickly available for when moving in to dark rooms or areas. Then you can switch the high power ATPIAL's illuminator on for when you're outside and need to illuminate farther targets.
And then finally, the WMX is small, lightweight, low profile, and has combat proven reliability.
No knock on Surefire, but as part of the "system", combined with the ATPIAL, I know of no other light that matches the capability, features, and interface. If you do any shooting at night, and have access to an ATPIAL, it's easily worth the price of admission. If you don't shoot at night, then I guess it's just to be "clone correct"?
Disclaimer: this is only based on my experience with full power ATPIALs. I have no experience with the civi PEQs and their illuminators.

Frustrated, I wrote a letter explaining what I did in the military, offered DD214, explained combat disabled, and offered VA paperwork with rating. I received an email back asking how they could help and how many I would like. They really took care of me, military discount and all. I even got the Hi-IR model that I really wanted.

Here's a pic of mine when I got it.

Basically, to my knowledge, the only way to get an IR-H model nowadays is second hand.
