Any good low budget weapon lights besides primary arms weapon lights? Im not to keen on spending money on surefire lights, im sure there good but those prices on some are crazy! I hear very good things on primary arms weapon lights, just wondering if there is anything else I should look at?

I have a UTG model ZL168. it was around $30 with the mount and remote switch included. 126 lumens and so far pretty durable. One day I'll upgrade, but my budget doesn't allow for me to.

Just keep in mind that the reason the quality lights are more money is because of things like the circuit protection. A lot of the cheap lights can't handle prolonged recoil. 500-1000rds may be too much for some of them. If you're using a weapon light, it must be for defense. The last thing you want is for your light to fail at the wrong moment.

Yeah I do understand you get what you pay for, 400.00 for light is a bit much... budget is around 100.00 or less.

$400? What light are you looking at? You can get an inforce wml or apl under $150

Streamlight TLR-1

WML/APL and the TLR1 (and family) can be had in that price range.

Handgun or long gun?

 

I have a trl-1hp on my handgun and a surefire fury 500 lumen on my ar. Both were right around your budget

If your talking handgun mounted, you can't go wrong with a stream light tlr-1. I really like mine and it's a great light around $100

I got the trl-3 from Streamlight and I have put a few hundred rounds through the G17 G3 without issues.  I also had it on my FNP9 and it was fine, stuck out about 3/4 of an inch. This one fits perfect on my G17 comes right the the end of the barrel.

 

That was about as cheap as I was willing to go.  I think it was $75 last year

Tlr 1 or tlr1s they are both bright enough. been using the tlr 1 for around 3 or 4 years now. No problems and a great durable light. If it hangs past the muzzle it will get burn marks on the top but who cares if it works.

Streamlight , Insight M3 should be right around your budget. Good light.

In all seriousness, you spend $1800 on a Tavor and then want to "budget" other things like a weapon light? That doesn't make any sense. It kind of reminds me of the guys that spend 2 grand on an AR15 and then put a Truglo red dot on them with some POS mount.

 

I'd go TLR-1. It throws some serious light out there and is made by the runner up to Surefire, Streamlight. I have a bunch of TLR1s and they are awesome.

For example these surefires are they really worth 400.00 price tag? I dont think so, 100.00 my price range I dont think there is any wrong with that?

Are they worth it?  Yes.  Are they worth it for YOU? Maybe not.  No one said you have to buy the highest priced item.

SureFire X300 on Amazon for $200. Streamlights are in the $100 range. Any cheaper, you get what you pay for.

Are they worth it?  Yes.  Are they worth it for YOU? Maybe not.  No one said you have to buy the highest priced item.

Exactly...

Yes, but throwing a POS optic/flashlight/hand guard, etc...to save $50 on top of $1500 is asinine as well.   Surefire is a company well known an respected for putting out a quality product. Here's mine I got for <$100.  500 Lumen. 

So a potentially life saving piece of your weapon carries a lower value? You bought a very expensive rifle and want to put a low cost alternative on it. In the end, you'll learn how buying 3-4 $50 lights, will eventually equal the expense of one higher quality light. Don't put regular gas in a Corvette, and don't use shitty accessories on a fighting rifle....unless you're hanging it over your fireplace or slinging it in front of a mirror.

Never said I wanted a 50.00 light...

I was speaking more figuratively.  I'm just saying, save a little and buy something quality if you have to.  Don't get something "budget" just to get it now. 

I have a klarus xt11 handheld light that you could get a mount for and put it on. Look them up. 800+ lumens 3 output settings and strobe functions. I love mine. Cost me $80 on ebay shipped and I've seen all good reviews.

done

I may try one of those inforces on my other ar.  I don't know if I want more than 200 lumens though. 

question with the inforce, what is it made of? is it a polymer housing or aluminum?
