Weapon lights/laser...Whats the best/brightest?
If you have a weapon light, post up your review here.
I am looking for a green laser and a weapon light and need some knolegable reviews on some of the brand names and no-name brands as well. I have heard that ebay is a good place to look for both. Im looking for the following. -Green lasers -I/R lasers -Tactical lights with over 120 lumens. Please post up pictures on and off your weapon/videos if you have them. Thanks -NOS |

Surefire M-500A Weapon Light, comes with two lamp assemblies, 1 kinda low powered, the other one is a Hi Output retina burner. Also, unless you know EXACTLY what you are buying stay far away from E-bay, most AR accessories there are cheap Air-Soft made in China garbage.

I'm not necessarily saying these two are the very best out there, but they're damn close (in my personal opinion).
Okay here we go... First is a Hellfighter Underboss by Dark Ops. 130 lumens L.E.D. fixed beam, light/laser combo. Has a push button for momentary on or constant and also includes a coiled remote pressure switch. Second is a Insight M6. Produces 90 lumens with an adjustable beam, but is not L.E.D., so the run-time isn't nearly as good as the Underboss. The Underboss is on the left in the outside light and light/laser comparison pictures, and is the top in the laser comparison picture. Size comparison pictures it is on the right (bigger one). As far as the light goes, two thumps up to the Underboss. The laser diamiter appears to be a tad bit smaller, but it may just be because the M6 produces a bunch of fussiness around the beam when on a target and the Underboss does not. The Underboss mounting system is not as speedy as the M6 because it uses a screw which has to be tighted in order to stay zeroed. One thing I do like a lot more is the rocker switch compared to the Underboss' push button which requires you to use your left thumb (if your a right handed shooter). But, I guess that's why they include an additional remote pressure switch, and the plug-in is already integrated into the back plate. To get a remote pressure switch for the M6 you have to buy an additional backplate which is VERY pricey! The Underboss is a bit heavier, mainly because its bezel is made out of aluminum and is also somewhat larger than the M6. But it kind of comes down to personal preferance. Underboss L.E.D. w/ included remote pressure switch = $169.95, & Insight M6 (non-L.E.D.) is in the $175-200 range. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
