I know nothing about Tactical lights and saw something that looked very cool (saw it in a movie please don’t give me to much Hollywood crap lol).
Some French spec ops guys were clearing a building and they had low light LED lights for navigation. When they saw someone they would press switch and blast the enemy with 500 lumens of light (or something like that) resulting in him blind at least that was the idea. Whether this would work or not I don’t know
Thanks

LED navigation lights exist on the Surefire 900 and 910 series dedicated weapon lights.

There may be others, but I don't know anymore particulars.

Also dose this concept work?

The Millennium M500B WeaponLight replaces the weapon's original handguards and features built-in switching without any exposed wiring. Because of its lightweight and integrated design, this model is most recommended for law enforcement applications and civilian home defense. Each unit is equipped with four separate switches: (1) A pressure sensitive momentary activation pad (2) a constant-on switch (3) a system disable switch to lock the light in the OFF position for covert operations or to eliminate accidental light activation during storage, and


(4) a second, smaller momentary switch to control two low-output LEDs that are useful whenever there is a need for a very small amount of light (stealth navigation, nighttime breaching operations, etc.)

Yes it works very well...  Tac light is on one side and navigation light "led's" are on the other side

The only other from Surefire is the M900 series you were told about in the first response.  Also you could use a Gladius to get Nav/Strobe/High outputs. Then there is the Pentagon DuoLight but it has lower output than the Gladius.

Surefire is the way to go on this one.

Surefire 910A has LED navigation lights and choice of 125 lumen or 225 lumen main light. Pressure swiches are built into the handle. Mounts to pic rail.

Is there any thing like the Millennium M500 that can be mounted on a four rail hand guard that dose not have a vertical grip made by surefire I have looked but don’t know what has nave lights and what dose not
Thanks

No you have been given all the options.  We are not hiding anything from you.

It's not a dedicated weapons light, so no tape switch, and without the shock absorbtion (it's only .223 though, so it's not like you'd be blowing bulbs every couple shots), but you could get an A2 and a generic mount.  It's the aviator model with the 60ish lumen IIRC main bulb, and a couple LEDs.

L2 light depression of switch gives you 15 lumens and full depression 100 lumens.  Put in mount, attach to rail.  Taa Daa....    Dont know if there is a tape switch for the L2, though it can be used as is.
