Lets talk WML (Weapon Mounted Lights) all encompassing

[Podmonkey]

1865 Modlight body, clicky tailcap with OKW head. Mounted via a Arisaka inline, MLOK mount. I post some pics later after I wake up and it's light out. Nobody seems to like the warm incandescent look lighting I have in my place. In the meantime-


Very impressive performance. The furthest shot is over 200 yards. What also impressed me was the spill. I had always thought Modlight's OKW head just put out a lightsaber beam of light and not much else but as we can see the is a good, usable amount of illumination on the periphery as well. It even does a decent job indoors, tge beam diffuses off walls and kind of floods the room, without blinding you.

Yeah man, the OKW is a solid setup. I know teams that mainly train CQB 90%+ of the time and they run OKW’s. Tactics and techniques with high candela lights trump high flood lumen lights with poor technique because they’re worried about blinding themselves.

I like the mount combined with the longer 18650 body let's me push the light forward to provide clearance for a sling swivel and BUIS. I might put a little electrical tape on to protect the body from the sling loop.

Just let it get scratched and used. No need for tape. lol

This has me thinking I was better off with the Modlite anyway.Thoughts?

I think it's only logicall that with the REIN pushing PLHv2 level lumens at OKW level candela that it would have to draw additional current to do so thus shortening the battery life.

The REIN 2.0 has longer runtime. Comparing both 18650 so it’s an apples to apples comparison, the PLHv2 has approximately 75min of runtime, where the REIN 2.0 has approximately 150min of run time. What you’re seeing is the step down to prevent thermal degradation. It’s built purposely into lights to prevent internals from being destroyed be themselves due to the heat. Most lights, especially weapon lights are normally not run constant on for long periods of time. They are most of the time used momentarily. When being used momentarily like it’s intended purpose, it wouldn’t normally need to go that far into its thermal step down. But if you stopped using it for a little bit and let it cool, it goes right back to the original output. Cloud actually just released a video on this as well.
