Hi guys,

I need to buy 4 weapon lights for my three AR's and one shotgun.

I am looking for the following:

1.) Something reasonably priced since I have to buy 4.
2.) A low profile mount that mounts at 1 o'clock.  (Gear sector maybe?)
3.) One light needs a tape switch for my shotgun.
4.) Strobing/different outputs a plus.

Please let me know if you have something in mind.  I really like everything I've seen 4Sevens and Surefire has served me well over the years too.  

Thanks!

Another option is Fenix flashlights.  Check the industry page.

Not sure if they will meet all your specs but I like my Fenix TK10s.  Now have the Tk11.  

Lower power for inside a house and higher power for outside.  

Got 2 of them on 2 carbines.

G2L's in Viking Tactics mounts will allow you to position them at 1 o'clock and will be under 100 bucks each.  Maybe a railed forend and pistol tac-light for the shotgun (with or without a tape switch).

Just posted this in another thread but it will apply here as well. You can purchase different tail caps for the 6P.

If you want a good light without spending a fortune many will have their own opinion. In a weapon light or any light I want a bare min of 120 lumens. I have used the following combo on 4 different rifles and I have never had a single issue. Go into the EE or the flashlight forums and pick up a used Surefire 6P, these can be had for under $40 and they are like new. Then order a Malkoff lamp of your choice. I prefer the M60. Don't skimp on the lamp, there are many copies but they aren't the same quality. The lamp will run you $60 so you are at a 100 dollar bill. For a mount you have to use what is best for your needs. I prefer a ambi position like 6 o'clock and I use the Elzetta 1500 mount on most of my rifles. If you think you want a offset mount look at VTAC or Gear Sector. The Gear Sector is quite a bit more than the VTAC, but very high quality. All you need now is a couple batteries.
If you want a excellent light check out the ElZetta M60 light. I have been wanting one for awhile now. Every review I have read, and I read a lot of them, were always positive. I finally found one like new in the EE for $100. 235 Lumens and this thing is built like a tank. You can purchase several different Tail caps that have different functions. If you have any ? you can IM me.
