Equipped with a high-performance 1x XG2-S3 light chip , it generates 480 lumens of intense white light, overpowering shadows for target identification up to 180 meters while minimising glare.
This compact tactical tool provides versatile White Light and Strobe modes to disorient threats or sustain situational awareness during dynamic engagements.
Critical Performance Features: Robust Rail Integration Featuring a 3-hole adjustable rail clamp , the light mounts securely across 2 cm to 2.2 cm rails —compatible with most modern pistols from Glock to Sig Sauer.
Buyer guidance
Choose it for the right job
Plain, practical checks for UK buyers comparing thermal, night vision and rifle optics before paying.
Close pest control
Rats around buildings or feeders are usually short range. Prioritise a clear image, quick start-up and easy handheld handling before chasing maximum distance.
Rabbit and fox work
For rabbits and foxes, check realistic identification distance, LRF needs and battery life. A higher sensor and suitable lens matter more than bold marketing range claims.
Mounting check
If it is going on a rifle, confirm the tube, mount or rail fit before payment. Common checks include 30 mm / 34 mm rings, Picatinny or dovetail fittings and eye relief.
Compatibility checklist
Useful details to confirm before payment, especially for rifle-mounted optics and add-ons.
- Intended use: rats, rabbits, foxes, target shooting or observation
- Typical distance: under 50 m, 50-150 m, 150-300 m or longer fields
- Mounting: 30 mm / 34 mm tube, Picatinny, Weaver, dovetail, clip-on or handheld
- Accessories: IR illuminator, battery pack, charger, rail, case or tripod
