I'm looking to put a light on my AR-15. It'll probably go in a viking tactics mount. I'm looking around 80$ or less I just want a good durable light that's bright. i was looking at the surefire G2 LED. So I just want to get yall's input before I do anything. Any lights y'all recommend?
Thanks in advance. |

I have one of these and I really like it. |

Quoted: I use a Fenix E21 with a cheap set of walmart scope rigs to mount it. It beats the hell out of my buddies surefire any day and has a bright and a dim setting. Just my 2 cents. The E21 is a nice AA light. I gave out a bunch of the limited edition Neutral White lights last year for Christmas. Nice and simple user interface, high and medium. |

Quoted: Quoted: I was also using a Fenix TK11(I think) in an elzetta mount. Total around your price range. How long does the full brightness last on that thing? Etc. And is it holding up pretty well? I thought the TK11 was replaced by the TK15? Or was it the TK21? There are more than one version of the TK11 out there. |

My Dad has 3 Fenix E21 lights. One on an SKS, one on an AR, and one on his duty belt. He's been a Deputy Sheriff for 15+ years now, he sold his 2 Streamlight Stingers off.
I have one E21 which is mounted on my MAK-90 and plan to get another one for EDC. I like the E21 over the other lights because of it's simplicity. High low cliky tail cap and that's it. And the tailcap doesn't control power output you have to twist the head. |

| just going to put a plug in for looking the boards/craigslist and finding dedicated surefire weapon lights for cheap. You can quite often find m951's for cheap. I picked on up NIB for $100, came with a body extension, a HUGE extra head, multiple bulbs, the dual input tail cap, and two different length pressure pads. Oh and batteries and locktite |

I have an Olight Warrior mounted on my Rock River Operator. I'll never use any other light. Order from bearcreektacticalgear.com and he offers lifetime warranty on the lights he sells. Or here http://www.batteryjunction.com/ to save a couple of $$ John |

Quoted:
Battery Junction doesn't have a lifetime warranty Sorry, my mistake on the warranty. Here's the Olight warranty (from their site): "OlightTM warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. Within 30 days after receipt, any defective lights will be offered free replacement by OlightTM distributors unconditionally. OlightTM will repair or replace, at its option and without charge, any product or part which is found to be defective under normal use and service within 24 months counting from the date of purchasing with proof of purchase. Such repair or replacement shall be the purchaser sole and exclusive remedy under this warranty. This warranty does not cover normal maintenance and service and does not apply to any products or parts which have been subject to modification, misuse, negligence, accident, improper maintenance or repair by anyone other than OlightTM. As to those exceed 24 months of the purchase date, Olight will still provide with warranty service. Labor is free but cost of parts will be charged. Freight should be paid by customers." FWIW, I have no affiliation with Battery Junction. I've just received good deals through them. John |

I got a NIB surefire M961 off ebay for 135 shipped. As much as I like PA stuff, Why buy a china knock off when you can have the real thing for not that much more? There are tons of these things on the market right now since we are bringing alot of the troops home. I would strike while the getting is good. The smaller 6P based M951 can be had for around 100 NIB with a little looking. |
