I use a custom built light too.
Solarforce L2P host in an MT 45 offset mount. The light pushes 1250lm high and 200lm low, with mode lock. Runtimes are 1hr and 6hr respectively. Takes a bit of secret sauce to build a light this bright and take repeat recoil. But it can be had for under $100. |

The SF L2M host was my dedicated WML in the past. Dual fueled bore is nice. I would, however, like to have the same L2m lego style slimmed down on the outside, and dedicated CR123's only to reduce profile.
What's available for long range thrower heads? |

A LED and smd circuit board really don't need shockproofing if the soldering is good and as long as the metal holds and you've loctited the screws a mount is a mount. Something to consider is the Bayco Tac 300B-K01. Comes with a workable tape switch and a picatinny mount. 200ish lumens, a good 5500-6000k tint, potted module, waterproof body. |

Not sure if you're serious or joking.. Hopefully the latter. Not all LED lights are weapon lights. |

O'lights ... I've used them for wildlife management on Benelli 12ga. Hold up well even under 12ga pounding. Have a pretty good pressure switch. I use the M3XS Javelot on longer range AR15 or .223 bolt rifle work and/or the Benelli if I want to really light them up. Or the M22 for the shotgun or a crossbow in a lighter weight & smaller package. (Think it's M23 now) I have and still use a lot of lights, Surefires, Fenix, O'light, Thrunite, Deerelight, Streamlight, Nitecore, Klarus ... used a lot of them.

the fenix rco 5 is the nicest EDC handheld I have found it is rechargeable & bright.
For a dedicated weapon light get the tlr that fits your needs. |

G2X and GG&G flashlight mount both in Amazon for $70 with shipping. Hard to beat for surefire quality.

i use the nebo rm 190 its held up to recoil had gotten it for 29$ and it is easy to manipulate and has strobe option i once read anything over 100 lumens is overkill when clearing houses and if your hunting at night get a spotlight

For an EDC I carry a Browning microblast. For a weapon light, I don't need one, I can see in the dark. However I don't see the point in spending hundreds of dollars on a light because of a name. If it hold up to recoil and is reliable then it's all good on my book.
