These just became available and I got a couple for testing. They use a 5W LED and it appears to be very bright and well focused. It comes with eithe a momentary/constant on push button or a 6" tape switch. They also feature an ARMS throw lever mount. I really think that LED's make an excellent choice as a weapon light due to their ability to handle shock. It is great to see a small company like Laser Devices pushing the envelope on weapon light designs....

Cool!
Thanks for the headsup. Do they look like they've much electronics in them? Do they run hot? Are you going to do an comparisons with the standard OP6, or other brands? Thanks Al |

Hey Al! They do have a fair amount of electronics in the lamp module and I have already done some comparison with the standard OP-6. I wil be doing some head to head comparison between it and my SF L4. From I can tell so far, it is winner! C4 |

What is the approxamite lumen output of the 5W LED? Does it compare at all to the regular lamp assembly?

The Lumen output is around 67. A SF G2 for instance puts out about the same Lumens.... C4 |

What are these lights going to cost? I am looking for a weapons light for my rifle in the near future.

Grant- does the beam on this unit tend towards a flood pattern, like the SF L4? How does the beam shape and brightness compare with the standard OP-6? Do you know if the LED is regulated? Thanks in advance for your help.

The beam is more focused in my opinion than the L4 because of the larger bezel. I believe that the LED is regulated. No LED will throw as far as a Xenon gas filled bulb, but then again you really can't break them either!  C4 |

Grant, have you ever used the Streamlight TL3 LED light, and if so how do you think it compares with this one by Laser Devices? The TL3 LED is rated at 90 Lumens I believe, although that's probably optimistic.
Edit: I don't mean as a weapon light necessarily, just in overall beam quality and shape. The LD light is obviously a better designed weaponlight. |

Jason, I have not used the TL3 so I cannot compare them (sorry)... C4 |
