Good for the price, but not great. - SightMark SM25013 LoPro Laser/Light/IR Combo Green Laser Picatinny/Weaver

The controls are in a good spot, the tape switch has decent buttons, and the IR illumination is useful (but not great). With gen 3 you get about 50 yards of illumination. with a gen 1+ unit it seems to be about 20 yards of useable light. the white light unit is bright, and has a decently wide beam. good for close up work inside the woods or in the house but this is NOT a long range light or IR illuminator. I wish the tape switch would allow me to have multiple selections for what type of beam I can throw. Sometimes I want to use only the laser. but other times I want only the white light. sadly the tape switch is only an on/off. and you make your selection of which beams are thrown on the unit itself. Others have written about poor battery life, but I've used my unit twice for extended periods, and I've left the battery in for over two weeks now. Still running the cheap battery the unit came with.

also, when using the IR illuminator, sometimes there is a momentary flicker of the visible white light off of the LED. This could be a problem if you're using this unit as a cheap alternative to a more expensive unit for your airsoft or paintball games. It only seems to happen when you press the tape switch. and it only happens for a split second. and not at full brightness. but it still happens.
