Powerful and lightweight - SureFire M1 Infrared Illuminator Pocket LED Flashlight

I purchased this for work as an additional IR light source and because of its size. At approximately 3.5 x diameter and powered by one CR123 it packs a punch in a small package. The twist on or off or momentary on via the tail cap is built well as all Surefire lights with machined aluminum construction. the M1 does not come with any weapon mounts but can be easily adaptable with a number of 1 weapon rings and mounts. I used a larue ring mount to put this on my carbine. The beam from the unit was a clean solid circular beam due to the quality reflector. My testing showed that this was effective up to atleast 75 yards.
Its reliable and durability will never be in question due to the machined aluminum construction.
Pros: Battery life, size
Cons: none
