I owned an early WML....loved the functionality....it broke....I haven't really trusted their products since.

Apparently they now have a second generation light that has been greatly improved. I'm looking at a wmlx.....but I can't tell whether it has all the latest improvements in terms of durability. Anyone ran one for awhile?

Search around as there are multiple reviews on the new versions.

Yeah I really liked them but they where apparently made of glass.

I looked at some reviews and product releases etc...They did a HUGE upgrade on them. The bezel where the head screws in- where they normally crack has been reinforced with an aluminum thread insert, also, they have changed their material to something more like a Glock frame- much less brittle. Lots of little tweaks but those are the issues I had really- durability. I ordered two of them so we'll see.

I had an earlier model that experience battery drain when off, I understood this to be corrected in the newer models.

Tagged for the review.  I have a couple original white light WMLs that work great and do not drain the battery.

I also have a pvs14 and dbal-a3 on the way and will be in need of more IR illum.

I just ordered one for $89.  Price was $140 until I logged in ($165 is the IR version).  The e-mail from DSG says "Must login to DSG Arms account for pricing."

Someone (Bedouin?) claims the IR function is fantastic. He said he could see the spot out @ 100 yds +.

Anyone know the Candela rating for the 800 lumen Gen2 WMLx? I haven't been able to find it. Thx!
