We are excited to announce our collaboration with Impact Weapons Components in developing the new Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights.
Based on Elzetta Alpha technology, the new Mini-CQB delivers 315 375 lumens of diffuse neutral-tint light in a beam pattern optimized for close quarters battle engagements. The Mini-CQB is available with any of six Tailcaps (Rotary, Click, Alpha High/Low, High/Strobe, or Tape Switch with 5" or 12" Cable). It is also available with two ambidextrous attachment mechanisms developed by IWC; M-1913 Picatinny or Keymod/M-LOK ™ . The Keymod/M-LOK ™ system fits both mounting systems by utilizing the patent-pending reversible nuts in one direction for Keymod and flipped for M-LOK ™ . Weighs less than 5 oz and operates on a single CR123A battery. Pre-orders are now being accepted with deliveries beginning in April. Prices begin at $210.00 for M-1913 version and $235.00 for Keymod/M-LOK ™ . Video of SHOT Show introduction: |

Nice light. Mind telling us what flash hider that is? View Quote Looks like a Griffin QD brake shield. http://www.griffinarmament.com/mobile/product.aspx?ProductCode=gaqdbs&404;http://www.griffinarmament.com:80/Griffin-Armament-QD-Blast-Shield-p/gaqdbs.htm= On topic, the dual use mount is very clever.

I'm confused.
It comes on both single and dual output depending on the tailcap?

i've never been able to get myself into elzetta lights, but this! my lord! any chance there will be a dropwing style mount - something that pushes the light out a little farther forward, in the future? |

It kinda looks like you have to unscrew it to remove it from the mount?

Magpul's attorneys have contacted us to make sure it is clear that, "M-LOK™ is a trademark of Magpul Industries Corp."
Now you know. |

Is it possible to get a lens for this that will gear it more toward throw vs. flood?

Ooooh ... tagged ... this may be my first Elzetta.
Can I get a shot looking at the business end of the gun with the picatinny mount on the top rail? I want to see the profile of the light |

Mine showed up today. It is all that they say it is. Mine is the single mode 315 lumens. It is now mounted on my complete MI rifle. (Keymod)
The mount is reversible so it can go on either side. The fit and finish is great. More when I get to wring it out a little. |

I wasn't sure I'd like the beam. But the more I try it in confined spaces, I like it.

We are happy to announce that Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) has begun on the new Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights and the first units have begun shipping!
Orders are being processed in the sequence they were received. We hope to have all pre-orders shipped in the next two to three weeks and we appreciate your patience. We are also pleased to announce that production models are producing 375 lumens (not 315 as promised). Our engineers were able to increase Lumen output without increasing peak Candela making the new Mini-CQB the ultimate weaponlight for close quarters battle/home defense. (See this thread for explanations of Lumens and Candela.) Here is a pic of one of the first units off the line: |

Do these have enough offset to not interfere with BUIS sights on the slimmer rails such as the SLR and Bravo Company KMR rails? I am having an issue being able to run an offset light next to my troy BUIS at the front of the rail.

Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights are hitting the street. Have you gotten yours yet?
Here is a quick review from Brian Hartman of PFC Training. We are honored that the pro's at PFC recommend Elzetta Lighting Products exclusively and offer them through PFC Loadout. |

Are their any other heads that will fit this light specifically thinking Malkoff as I have a few laying around anyway and would like more lumens out the front..... For me this isn't about fighting inside my quarters as would be used in varmint interdiction around livestock....light weight,small footprint, handy with lots of lumens & not much spill to pinpoint stuff in open pasture. |

View Quote Malkoff does not make anything for the Mini-CQB. As its name implies, the Mini-CQB is designed specifically for Close Quarters Battles and therefore has a unique high-lumen/low-candela beam. It is optimized for engagements within 50 meters. For longer range missions, you would be better served with an Elzetta Bravo or Charlie in your choice of mounts. |

Quoted: What is the "stand off" of the bezel from the rail? What I mean to ask, is this... ...NSR, Wedgelock, etc. are very narrow rails. Will the light be mountable with the bezel even with a front BUIS, say, an MBUS PRO? assuming the widest part of the bezel is dead-even with the screw on the MBUS? Maybe my question is hard to phrase, and I'm sorry if it's coming across poorly, but I think I conveyed the concept? Is the bezel's extreme edge on the inner aspect closer to the barrel of the weapon than is the mount that interfaces with the rail on the side? http://i62.tinypic.com/s6n9n8.jpg View Quote Hopefully this top-down photo of a Mini-CQB on a Rainier Switch Rail with MBUS Pro will help: |

Is there a trick to the mount in keymod "mode"?
I have mounted it to my KMR and no matter how much I tighten down the screws I can just wiggle the light/mount and work it loose fairly easily. I made sure it is in keymod mode and not mlock. Any ideas? Edit: Nevermind....I am just an idiot. |

I'm sorely tempted. May just buy one. Are the lenses swappable if damaged? I seem to recall they are. |

can you post a business end pic of one of these mounted off the 12:00 picitany?

On a regular keymod mount you put it in the large hole and slide it forward into the slot. On this mount you put it in the slot and slide it backwards into the hole. The nuts have two sides. One side is squared off, and one has a rounded edge. You want the rounded edge facing the light mount. That way it will match up with the rounded part of the hole on the keymod. For MLOK you reverse the nuts so the squared off part is facing the mount. It is somewhat problematic getting it to seat on a keymod rail, it takes some fiddling around. On my MI rail it was really tough because of a lack of clearance between the inside of the rail and the gas block. There is or was an animation on the IWC web site. |
