GWLE April 2015 Weapon-mounted lights Crimson Trace Lightguard — Crimson Trace Lightguard: Best known for making laser-aiming devices, Crimson Trace developed an Instinctive Activation pad switch that it carried over to a line of weapon lights. These illumination products give an officer the ability to instantly activate the light without moving fingers around the triggerguard. Lightguard products are available for full-sized Glock, Springfield XDM and Smith & Wesson M&P pistols. A version of the light is also available for certain 1911 pistols without an accessory rail. For more information, visit crimsontrace.com or call 800-442-2406.

For more information, visit crimsontrace.com or call 800-442-2406.

The 300-lumen light is rated at 2.5 hours of run time, while the eye-safe laser will run for more than 45 hours. For more information, visit streamlight.com or call 800-523-7488.

GWLE April 2015 Weapon-mounted lights Viridian CTL — Viridian CTL: Claiming to be the smallest weapon-mounted tactical light in the world, the Viridian CTL is a 100-lumen light that mounts to the accessory rail of most pistols. Its diminutive size allows it to be carried easily off duty and by plainclothes officers on compact handguns. Even with the small size, it puts out 100 lumens of light and can strobe at 140 lumens. Its run time is 60 to 80 minutes depending on the mode. When used with a Viridian holster, the light can instantly turn on when drawn. For more information, visit viridiangreenlaser.com or call 800-990-9390.

Viridian offers the Reactor Tactical Lights (RTLs) for several popular backup guns, including the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, the Ruger LCP and the Ruger LC9. These tiny units pump out 140 lumens of light and offer both constant and strobe modes. For more information, visit viridiangreenlaser.com or call 800-990-9390.

In constant-on mode, the light throws 178 lumens, while the strobe cranks the output to 224 lumens. A single CR123 battery will power the light and laser for 60 minutes. Only using the laser or light will extend battery life up to 10 hours depending on the mode. For more information, call 800-990-9390 or visit viridiangreenlaser.com.

Until recently, weapon-mounted lights were rarely seen on police firearms, and then were often reserved for tactical teams.

The lights were expensive and relatively fragile. The current crop of weapon lights use advanced LED technology to produce very bright light in a compact, rugged platform. LED-based lights are also very efficient on power use, so a run time of one hour or longer is typical.
