Great light, everyone except my wallet agrees - SureFire M340C Mini Scout Light Pro 500 Lumen Compact LED Weapon Light

I cannot believe I spent this much on a flashlight. That being said, it’s great. The light is pure white and the flashlight body is very compact. I needed something that would take up minimal rail space on an AR pistol handguard. This was perfect for my needs. 500 lumen seems dim by todays standard, especially considering the streamlight is twice as bright for half the price. Yet the way the beam throws is perfect. I would definitely say it has a more focused flood than a beam. This light is more geared toward close quarters. I actually found that 500 lumen seemed to be better for home defense situations. It’s plenty bright without being so overpowering that you can’t pick up your red dot (which was the case with my 1,000 lumen stream light). The included M lok attachment is fantastic. I have around 500 rounds through this gun and the light hasn’t come loose. My only complaint is the color. I went FDE for this build and the Sure Fire light is more of a light sand color. It’s definitely lighter than say Magpul or Aero FDE. Unfortunately if you want a pressure pad, prepare to drop another couple hundred.
