So I have been looking for a weapon light for night shooting, I have vehicle mounts etc.. but I don't like having to track targets with my light offset from my weapon, plus I don't always shoot with mates.
This will be going on a custom bracket off the rail to mount it above the scope...
Lets face it.. its a stupidly large light to be putting on a rifle...
And its going to cost me about $500.
But all the led junkies are telling me that you can't get the level of light I want, at the range I want with led..
0.25 lux doesn't really satisfy me safety wise if I'm going to send large peices of lead at high speed. 0.6 seems to be recommended as usable... as such I would like say 0.5lux at 1000m. Which should be more than sufficient for the ranges it will be used at.
So.. Two questions. ? Is this light going to give me what I need ?
Is there something in a similar price point that is going to do it better ?
