3d printed, 10oz. Meets rule requirements. I can 3d print it to any light profile. A lot more cost effective than the brass one, took 4 hrs to print, maybe an he to assemble because it's my prototype.

I know a post like this comes with criticism, you're welcome to offer it, I can assure you I'm uninterested in any snideness. If you have engineering inputs I'm always trying to iterate!

I hope the light works better than the pictures.

If you look closely you can see it has a light in it.  One of those little push button leds so it is a 'functioning light' per the rule but really the idea is the weight to help with recoil.

Here's the final iteration. Also the link for download if you wanna make it.

That's awesome, nice job OP.

I am trying out a standard TLR-1 with some lead tape on the bottom (which adds very little weight), but I like the feel of a couple extra ounces of weight on a plastic gun.  What material is it made of?  Are you planning on offering them for sale?

Could just throw these tungsten “batteries” in. Mine TLR-1HL weighs tight around 10 ounces with these in. The light works at a reduced output as well.
