Quote HistoryQuoted: @pumbaajk Thanks Do you actually run 2 lights OR this is just for the picture to show how it looks on both sides? I actually run two. The one on the left is the white light that is depressed with my thumb and the right side is the IR that's slaved with the unity taps and the dbal. I am playing with this setup right now and so far I am liking it for the cost. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I ordered the PLHv2 in the 18350 for my 8” SBR, I haven’t seen an update from Big Tex since I ordered on 3/24. There isn’t much rail space and I was trying to save weight. I’m running a Saker most of the time, but I still don’t want the light getting hammered by muzzle blast if the can is off. I’m not going to be able to get the light far enough forward to eliminate the shadow from a 7.5” can. I’m still looking for a mount that will place the light high and tight at 10:30 while clearing the suppressor cover. The BCM keymod Mount works with the HLX, but I’d like it higher. The Arisaka inline mount is too tight for the HLX but may work fine with the Modlite. The new Modbutton with the integrated mount may be just what I want for a mount. I’ll hold off on ordering anything else until someone here reviews it. I’ll probably end up ordering an old model PLH with the 18650 too. I’ll run the PLHv2 head with the 18650 body on the 5.56 and the PHL head on the 18350 body on my 8” .300 blackout that I use in the house. Same boat, well, 3/25 for my order. I ordered from modlight AFTER placing my order with Big Tex and got the package from them within 3 days  I sent them an email asking for an update today. 2-5 delay has now turned into almost a 10 day delay. BTW, mod button works great. It just limits your ability to run a BUIS next to the light AND marries the button position to the light. That fusion adapter wing may work for you if you're running a longer setup. ETA Just got my shipping notification. |

This looks like a great light. I'm wanting to replace my Olight M2R Pro with an American light that's on a SBR with an Omega. I went to their website and it doesn't seem to have a lot of details.
1. What's the total weight on this with battery? 2. Can I use an inline Scout mount? 3. I'm not used to seeing Candela measurements. How does this stack up against the M2R Pro for beam distance? M2R Pro says 22,400 candela and 300m. PLHv2 says 54,000 candela, but no distance rating. 4. Which tailcap do I need to get a momentary on and constant on with different types of presses? |

I don’t have a scale to weigh but the pro feels double the weight if not more than the modlite with an 18650 2. Can I use an inline Scout mount? the modlite is compatible with all scout mounts 3. I'm not used to seeing Candela measurements. How does this stack up against the M2R Pro for beam distance? M2R Pro says 22,400 candela and 300m. PLHv2 says 54,000 candela, but no distance rating. Obviously the higher the candela the longer the distance. The PLHv2 would probably be rated somewhere between 400-450m. I don’t live in a a region to test out to 400m, though in my experience how they rate the distance you could pretty much cut that in half for what the naked eye is actually able to see 4. Which tailcap do I need to get a momentary on and constant on with different types of presses? |

Thanks for the Big Tex links and code. I ended up buying the Modlite PLH v2. I wasn't sure what tailcap to get, so I just stuck with the Modlite one. I'm still unsure of the interface, but it sounds like it does momentary on with a slight button press and constant on with a longer button press?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does the switch not work well or something? Switch works fine. The modlite clickys take a pretty light touch to turn on in momentary mode (lighter than surefire imo). Pressing forward significantly further will put the light into constant on. I suppose under stress ine could push forward and accidentally go straight to constant mode instead of momentary, but that would be the same situation with any clicky tail cap. |

This is going on my home duty SBR. Been using my current Olight quite a bit for coyotes and it's worked well so far, but that's probably not under the most stressful situation. |

My Modlite with PLHv2 arrived today. I’m waiting for the batteries to charge and nightfall to test it out. I was on the fence between PLH and PLHv2 based on spill.
Has anyone received their Modbutton yet? I’m trying to figure out where the light bolted directly to it would be positioned and if it would be visible through a T-2. It looks like a great solution to mounting and the button. It also looks like the Modbutton as a mount will make it easy to switch the light setup from rifle to rifle, almost too bad it’s not QD. ETA: I convinced myself to order on from Big Tex along with some other parts I needed. The ability to easily move it gun to gun is a big selling point, no need to buy another light for a different rifle. Also no need for the Cloud Defensive switch mounts that I already ordered. |

I was also thinking it might be possible to modify and run the Unity FUSION LightWing Adapter on the wrong side, in my case the right side version with the modbutton bracket on the left, to move the light from 10:30 to 11 something and get the light over the suppressor. I also don't want the light so far forward that the assembled bracketry becomes fragile. Ultimately I may wish I'd have gotten the longer body of the 18650 over the 18350. I run a Saker 5.56 on my 10.5 and a Saker 7.62 on my 8" 300 blackout, both of which use BCM rails. The shadow doesn't bother me that much, with my HLX on the 8" there is so much spill that the reflection off walls generally lights the area. |

Just got my Modlite PLH2 in today. Great light with some nice throw and spill.
Only problem is that the shadow of my suppressor is much more pronounced than the Olight M2R Pro when running an inline Scout mount at 10:30. So it looks like the T-Rex may be a good solution. Another option may be the Unity FUSION LightWing adapter. I was hoping to keep using the clicky tailcap, but it doesn't look like an option. Is the ModButton the best switch to get or is there another option I should look at? |

The throw is nice for targets at distance, but the spill is certainly lacking for anything within 10-25 yards. The HLX on my other rifle has much better spill while still providing enough throw for me in an urban setting. I’m very pleased with the quality of the Modlite, but I may be returning the PLHv2 in favor of the original PLH. I would also go 18650 instead of 18350 if I return and reorder. I don’t like the position of the Unity Fusion LightWing, I want the light coming up over the suppressor as much as possible rather than putting the light directly on one side. I will have both the Modbutton and the SureFire/Cloud Defense setup in hand shortly. I’m expecting to prefer the Modbutton because the integrated mount will raise the light up over the suppressor better. |

Right now, I'm just using the Thorntail inline M-Lok at 10:30. The shadow isn't as bad as I originally thought. I don't see it when I look down the Aimpoint T1, so I may stick with this setup. Still debating if there is a better inline mount that may push the light a little farther out or go with a 12:00 picatinny mount like the Thorntail Offset Adaptive Light Mount (Picatinny) for the 10:30 setup. |

Just for an update. I have put about 1000 rounds through my rifle in the last month since I got the PLHV2. I have the light mounted right by the compensator on my 11.5 inch rifle. The light has been handling the concussion from the muzzle device really well. The lens has been completely black at times from the carbon, yet the light is holding up very well.
Not that anyone was questioning it, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the light can take some abuse. |

I have a m600DF and a PLHv2 head on the way. I run the SR07 tape switch through a DS00 tail cap. Modlite claims current tape switches reduce power by 15-20%, as opposed to their own or the Unity switch. So, if this is true, I should be able to see (or maybe measure, rather) a difference in performance when using the tape switch compared to the DS00 button, right? Seems like this would have been something noticed prior to Modlite saying it's true, as 20% seems significant. I don't have equipment to measure lumen or candela, but I would love to see someone test this with equipment. I can tell you with the DF head, I can't tell a difference between the tape switch and the DS00 button, but I know that my human eye may not be sensitive enough to tell. Just curios, really. Not planning on ditching my SR07 either way.

Quote HistoryQuoted: In what way is it better? I only have the Modlite clicky tailcap, but if the Surefire is worth the money... Oh man, it's really hard to quantify. But the button is a tad larger, less deep past the guard, and feels ever so slightly better when pushed. I wouldn't say you should go spend the MSRP on replacing the tailcap. The difference isn't that significant that it's worth 30-40 bucks... but if you were buying a light and had to choose between their tailcap and a Z68, I'd go with the Z every time. |

I'm wanting to try out a modlite with some more candella/throw.
I currently have an Arisaka, couple Surefire scouts, (one DF)... Put me in the "pretty happy with the DF output" category, especially on an HD gun. I probably don't know what I am missing, as many of you suggest. Question is: You can get a Surefire DF Pro on Big Daddy unlimited for $220 and that includes M-lok and picatinny mounts! Haven't tried one, but the new mount looks great to me... Modlite with a BoBro mount ( I want the pivot ) is going to be near double the price. So, it's good, but is it twice a good?

If not, you'll have no problem selling the head for close to what you paid for it. I need a whole new light set up for a new build. I think my hangup is that I actually like the new scout body more than the other options. I have 2 Arisaka mounts that have not been great for me personally, and the swing mount gives me the option to run uptight to HG for now, but swing out if I mount IR lasers in the future, or that's what I'm thinking at least... I'll probably just get a Scout DF Pro for now (whole light with mounts costs less then Modlite head!). Seems like the best value option to get a quality light on this gun ASAP, and then try a fancy(er) head later when funds allow. Unless I randomly find a Scout Pro Body cheap in EE or something... |

It was made before the PLH v2 was released. The PLH v2 will fall right in between the PLH and the OKW, and the specs come pretty close to the CD owl, the modlite will have a cooler temp. The video only goes out to 100 yards. Hopefully with the example above and with this video you get an idea.  P&S and InRangeTV Present: Weaponlight Comparison 2019 |

My PLHV2 arrived yesterday. Took it outside last night and it worked great - was lighting things up a couple of hundred yards out.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Switch works fine. The modlite clickys take a pretty light touch to turn on in momentary mode (lighter than surefire imo). Pressing forward significantly further will put the light into constant on. I suppose under stress ine could push forward and accidentally go straight to constant mode instead of momentary, but that would be the same situation with any clicky tail cap. This. Also, not modlite or mcclicky specific, but just in general how clickies do under stress. |

Got a PLHV2 to replace a Surefire M600U Scout and its definitely a much brighter. The Scout has a more evenly dispersed throw while the Modlite has usable scatter but a much more distinct hotspot. I like the color the Modlite puts out quite a bit better than the much warmer Scout light color.
I was a bit worried as I put both batteries on the charger (which rocks BTW) and after a few days of testing around the yard/house I was getting flickering and reduced output. Using the Modlite with a UE tailcap and SR07 pad. Took the battery out and put it on the charger to check the battery level. Was only 1 bar down from full. Unplugged the SR07 and reinserted. No issues since but didn't have any issues with the Scout. Will keep monitoring and I've been activating the light via SR07 as much as possible just to keep checking if the issue happens again but no further issues as of now. I do have several email alerts setup with various vendors for a Unity MLOK Hot-Button to replace the SR07. I'd like a Mod Button as well if they'd issue a version without the integrated mount. |
