[ARCHIVED THREAD] - LED Light for 18" SPR

Posted: 6/13/2009 1:10:53 PM EDT

What kind of light should I be looking at for a 18" SPR with a free float rail and no front sight post and no vertical grip.

Not looking for a super expensive light but one around 100 dollars is what the budget allows. figure the light is not a primary light but it would be nice to have a weapon light for a rainy day.

thanks

That is probably your best option for $100

The M60 is baller.

Another $100 option. High output long throw LED . $99 shipped including mount, click tailcap and tape switch if you add a vertical grip. Malkoff makes a great product, I own several of his drop ins and that is a good option. My light will give you a longer throw if that is what you are looking for on your SPR. You can also add a diffuser to mine if you want to switch from long throw to room filling flood.

Tough to beat a Streamlight TLR-1 C4 LED Tactical Light, can be found for about $90. Bright, Light and good run time.

It is the Malkoff replacement Cree LED head for a Surefire 6P or 9P. He makes now makes several versions but the original is the M60 and sells for $55.

Here is his web site.

Thanks guys ordered one of the Primary Arms lights, just seemed to good to pass up and I'm looking for a longer throw for the beam of light instead of a room clearing wide light pattern.

However what is the diffuser that is mentioned as this is my only AR15 and the light is removed for other uses or it's used for room clearing drills.

It's basically a slip on, sometimes flip up translucent filter that converts your light from a spot to a flood.

If you're asking what diffuser works with his light ... dunno.

The Surefire FM14 diffuser fits my light. With it in place you get a room filling flood. The downside to a diffuser is you loose the ability to temporarily blind a opponent. The FM14 lens has a flip up function when you need to go back to a spot. Also my light has more than enough spill to be effective inside without the diffuser but the head is optimized for 150+ yards.
