I have a few Surefire weapon lights and I am trying to figure out which one would be the best for my Sig 556's or M4geries. Right now, I have the X200 LED on my 556 HD because it already had the P adapter on it and I didn't feel like converting my other ones. I was also told the X200 LED would be a better choice than the X300 in terms of range. This seemed strange to me, but is it true? Which one for a carbine-X200 LED or X300? |

X200A Tightly focused 60 lumens X200B Widely focused 100 lumens X300 Focused somewhere in between the 2, 110 lumes. The 200A may give you more range than the X300. But LED's generally don't project light as far as regular bulbs, due to the wavelenght of the light. |

Which X200 do you have? There's an A and a B, and they're exact opposites of each other. The X200A has a very narrow beam and puts all of it's output into a very small area. It is all throw (range) and no spill (flood). The X200B has a very broad beam, with all spill and very limited throw. I haven't played with one yet, but my understanding is that the X300 is a combination of these beam types. It uses newer LED technology so it also has more output and runtime than the X200's. For any kind of rifle, I would go with an X300. |
