Recommend AR weapon light

[samson7x]

I started a thread for sling recommendations and the TGO voice was heard and I ordered the MS3 as suggested by the majority. I am happy with that purchase so here I am again in search of weapon light suggestions. I don't really have any specific requirements, but I would like to keep the price as reasonable as possible and I want a light that is as bright as possible. I generally look at the lumen rating as a good guide but this may not be the best method.

Thanks in advance.

One of the Surefire Nitrolons with an LED bulb, and a light clamp. Not the most tacticool solution but it should work. No need to go spend 350-400 something bucks on the weapon lights and pressure pads.

I bought a $350 surefire. Yeah it's a great light. Yeah it's bright and durable and looks great. But i would never spend that kind of money again... simply not worth it. There are plenty of moderately priced lights that are as good for 25% of the price.

Used SureFire weapon light. You can easily score 951/2's for $100ish, ScoutLights for $150ish depending on model, and X seriers for $150ish. I would not look any further.
