Greetings all,

I just came across this forum, and thought you guys would be the perfect people to ask: What would be an ideal light for mounting on my AR-15? I need the light to meet a few criteria:
1.) Lightweight as possible.
2.) Less than 1" in diameter (I want to use this mount: http://www.botachtactical.com/kzofm.html)
3.) As bright as possible (200 lumen range)
4.) Something that won't break the bank.
5.) AA Batteries would be ideal, but if it's the perfect light, I would be willing to go CR123.

I am a flashlight noob, so I will defer to you flashaholics. I want to learn, so feel free to throw suggestions or tips my way! I currently use a Quark Tactical AA2 for my EDC and love it. I would ideally like something shorter for a weapon light, though. I see the post about the JetBeam BC10, and I am very intrigued. Woudl this be an ideal weaponlight? Are there lights better suited to my needs?

Tank you for your time!

Welcome to CPF, Tolb :)

I'll move your thread to the LED Flashlights section for you. I'm sure you'll get some good suggestions from members, and there are some previous weapon lights threads you'll find there too.
