I had a third gen. Inforce WML in the sand colored polymer. I knew that there had been reports of the sand polymer cracking, but it was a screaming dream on Amazon compared to the black and FDE WMLs and I needed an IR light for NV.
Anyways, the polymer begins to crack near the bezel, I finally get around to contacting Inforce on September 30th, and after a few exchanges of emails that day I have a RMA and their customer service rep has asked what color light I want for my replacement since they are no longer making lights with the sand colored polymer. I think I returned the cracked light on the 3rd or 4th. Yesterday the replacement shows up. They sent me a Gen. 4 WML to replace the Gen. 3 WML and the Gen. 4 is a noticeable improvement over its predecessor. The toggle switch between IR and Vis feels tighter and locks into place requiring slightly more force to change. The safety now locks into place with an audible click sound. Anyways, a fantastic customer service experience and they replace a defective product with not just a working product but an improved product.

Have they improved the beam on the IR setting (is there ANY spot at all now)? I'll check this weekend for ya Thanks. They need to make an AL version (body and head).... I would buy one for each rifle I own. |

If you screw the head off are the threads metal for the body now? Is there still strobe? Can it be disabled? Threads are metal. in the video EnlistedDate linked above, the guy begins telling how to disable strobe function at the 9 minute mark. Also, he says the latest version is the Gen. 4 WML, but I posted this thread as Gen. 2. Updated thread title and the OP. |

Awesome. I want one of each. Where to buy the WMLx G2? You can find them several places, but I found them the cheapest on Ebay. WMLx Gen 2 |
| I really like my WMLx but I wish they'd just listen to us and make an aluminum body version. Polymer is good for things like pistol grips, not housing electronics on a gun. They clearly crack in light to moderate use. No way on a prime time gun - not for long at least |

I have had one on a work gun for 4 years and its all beat to shit but no cracking. |

Any update? Thanks Quoted:

That being said the IR corona is so large and bright that I think a spot inside the corona would make any object inside a spot too bright. We were under clear skies with no moon and some ambient light from the cantonment area not visible on this image but about 700 meters north/north west of the red dot. I was standing about where the red dot is on this imagery and was able to use the IR light to illuminate 80-85% of the treeline that was ~240 meters away (the treeline that is highlighted).

I have a couple of the last gen WMLx's that are growing on me.
The only concern I have with them is that the 16650's I use in them are just a bit too long to fit in there comfortably. I may have to take one of the cells into my local shop and see if they fit any better in these new ones. |

For those of you not running them on the top rail, what is your preferred method of mounting these? I use keymod and I think the thorntail that is compatible would put the WML too low and too far out to the side. Thoughts on other options? Seems this thread has fallen idle, but I just found it and wanted to answer your question. I run my WML in a thorntail that has it sitting around 10:00-11:00 on my rifle and in perfect reach of my thumb.

OP, do you mind saying how you got in touch with them? I reached out regarding an issue through the "contact us" form on their website last week and didn't hear back. |

DVOR has an InForce WMLX on sale for $98.99.
Not a bad price, but how do I make sure that this is the current Gen, and not the first Gen? You will have to log in to DVOR in order to see the price. DVOR InForce WMLX I just want to make sure that this is the right one before I burn the money. |

Just wanted to share that the Gen 2 InForce WML clears the Unity Fusion Micro hub perfectly using their offset rail. It sits perfectly at the 10 o'clock position. http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/sdrake100/Mobile%20Uploads/20161211_144815_zpsjse2mwqo.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/sdrake100/Mobile%20Uploads/20161211_144839_zpszo08wxz0.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/sdrake100/Mobile%20Uploads/20161211_145028_zpsz2ercot2.jpg http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd448/sdrake100/Mobile%20Uploads/20161211_145036_zpsgth6n5jl.jpg Sweet. No real chance it would clear a CQBL, would it? |
