[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1860482, member: 229"] What's available out there now days? I've not owned a rail-mounted light for a pistol in a few years and it seems to me that the LED technology is forging ahead in all of the smaller companies, but not so much in the larger (and most weapon-mounted lights that I know of are made by larger companies). Not really looking for light/laser combos, just a good solid small-form-factor rail-mounted LED with more than 100 Lumens for more than an hour. Surefire's X-series are all too large for me. I'm not a fan of the larger Streamlights either, but the TLR-3 seems to be a good size/price and the output exceeds what I'm looking for (110L / 90 mins). BTW, did L3/EOTech buy Insight (or start re-badging Insights under their own name)? I'm seeing EOTech lights that are identical to Insight lights. I like the XML / X series from Insight (and the similar models from EOTech) for their size and they seem to have LED versions of both the XML and the M3, so they seem to be my best choice (the M3 is on the large side). I'm not crazy about CR2 batteries, but I can live with them if the size justifies it (batteryjunction has good deals on CR2 batteries). S&W has a tiny (appears to be re-badged from someone) LED light too, but I don't know who makes it or how reliable it is. Anyone know anything or have a suggestion? [/QUOTE]
