The Nightstick Compact Weapon Light delivers serious illumination in a package built for working guns. This 550-lumen tactical weapon light mounts securely to handgun rails and puts out a focused beam that reaches 136 meters, giving you the light you need for defensive and low-light shooting scenarios. Built from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a polymer rear housing, it's engineered to handle the recoil and abuse that come with real-world use.
What makes this weapon light stand out is its thoughtful controls. Ambidextrous rear-facing toggle switches let you run momentary-on or constant-on modes without breaking your grip or fumbling around in the dark. The compact footprint—just 2.5 inches long and 2.5 ounces—means it won't throw off your pistol's balance or interfere with your draw. It's sealed to IP-X7 waterproof standards and rated to survive a 2-meter drop, so it'll keep working even when conditions get rough.
The package includes everything you need to get running: the light, four modular rail inserts (pre-configured for Glock), spare Allen screws, an Allen wrench, and a CR123 lithium battery. The rail inserts let you set this up on most common handgun platforms, and the modular design means you can swap configurations if your carry gun changes. Runtime is 2.5 hours on a single battery, making it practical for extended range sessions or duty carry.
