It is an aluminum sealed housing, takes two CR-123 batteries, is plenty bright, and comes with a rail mount and pigtail with pressure switch. The normal end cap has a pressure switch on the end of it.
It costs $15.99 USD with all of the accessories included. I saw this at a gun show, and my friend bought it. I thought it would not be good for the price, and I was definitely proven wrong. I used it at Pine Plains, OP Red Reign, and several other big ops with night games, and so far it still works great. |
Nice! Now I know what to get to mount on my Crosman 'trishot' shottie. Just with a different clamping system though.
Xenon bulbs have a limited lifespan, and also drain batteries faster. Add in the fact they have a yellowish light............... I used to have a Streamlight Scorpion, 80 Lumens I recall, would go through the CR123 batteries quickly, run time would be 1.5hrs.
Now own two Surefires, the G2 LED and the G2 LED Combat Light, both LED and same batteries, run time is around 12hrs and put out 65 Lumens of white light. They are awesome, and VERY bright. Don't need huge amount of Lumens (500 will likely kill a vampire), unless you are trying to spot bombers flying at 30,000ft in the dark in order to try to shoot them down with flak.
