WMLX 700 Lumens Gen 2 Weaponlight White Light with IR, (Black)

This is #5. I have straight up lights as well as these which are also infrared to support night vision activities. They are easy to install, have intuitive controls, are bombproof and last 2-2.5 hrs with quality batteries. Light pattern penetrates with a well balanced halo to cover what is a significant peripheral field. A simple flip up bail over the switch prevents accidental activation. There are definitely more expensive gun lights out there. Go buy one if you want to, I’ll stick with these. Hope this helps.

Fir what it is and the candela and lumens, along with access to IR light without adding another unit, these serve me well on my daily use rifles. I have far more pricey versions that are military resources, that do somilar...though they add thousands to the cost. If yiu are looking for a solid white light and IR option, for sure consider these.

The Inforce WML has been the standard issue for lots of police and military unit. Lots of complains about it are from misuse. The light can use only 3V CR123 primary cells, and people are killing the light with 3.7V 16650 rechargeable batteries. The only one that has compatible ergonomic is Streamlight RM2, but that light sits tall and will block standard height Eotech or Aimpoint on AR if mounted at 12. Although the body is polymer, the internal construction is metal. And the lens is proper glass, while the $400 Surefire uses polymer. 700 Lumen and 6000 candela isn’t the brightest on the market, and the flood is pretty wide, make it more of a CQB type light instead of thrower. The color tint of the LED seems to be a Cree older XPE type with the blue shifted tint instead of Surefire’s green tint (whatever that is) and Streamlight warmer tint (XML?). Battery life is ok, 1-2 hours is typical for most weapon light. The strobe isn’t really useful but you can turn it off by pressing the button and unscrew the head. Overall for the price of 1/4 of the Surefire and similar price of the Streamlight RM2 which is the only one compatible in ergonomic, this is a great light for the price. It is designed to be mounted on 12 position and the shape is extremely comfortable. The switch blocker is useless but you can lock the light by twist it just like any Surefire. Lastly, it is actually manufactured in USA.

So far so good. I bought it mainly for the IR and it doesn't disappoint for a compact light. Works well with my Sightmark Wraith digital scope on my Springfield Saint. Lit up across my pond (120yds) making a possum clearly visible. The lockout bracket is a nice touch, eliminating accidental power button engagements and saving valuable battery life. Overall a very good compact IR light.

Battery drain is real, it will be dead the next time you pick it up. I want to like these lights because the I like mounting lights at 12 to avoid shadow, but they frankly suck in every way. Temu quality.

So far, I really like this light, but there are some negatives. The light is super light. I have this on a lighter weight AR, and i can barely even notice its on the gun. My streamlight lights are much heavier. The locking bar is kinda cheap. It works, but it is wobbly when raised. it feels like it could snap off easily. I think it would be hard to ND the light because of the button design though. The button design on this is genius. I have mine mounted at the 12 position, and it is super natural to use the switch. The white light isnt as bright as some of the other lights out there, but the IR feature is the reason. The white light is plenty bright out to 75-100 yards. The IR light (when used with gen 1 nvgs) is good for CQB distances out to 50 yards. It is a flood IR light that cannot be focused. the spread is large. It is about twice as bright, and reaches twice as far as the built in IR illuminator on my Sightmark gen 1 nvgs. If you want an ir illuminator that goes farther than 50-75 yards, this isnt for you. The attachment mechanism isnt super robust, but it also hasnt ever come off, its a spring loaded clamp, with a screw that keeps it from opening. Overall, i love this light.

Works great! I use on helmet mount. Would purchase again.

Very good Light. very bright and clear to well over 100m further with scope. Fits very close to rifle. the switch is good and protector great addition. Now after many years I add to this it's still working and shines great best light I have ever had. Thousands of rounds out of rifle and this light is still functioning.
