Question WML for my AR

I’m trying to lock down a decent light for my AR setup. Budget is around $100–$200, and I’m looking for something that pushes at least 1000 lumens.

Streamlight ProTac HLX is pretty solid

Can say that’s what I run and the streamlight pressure switch is great. Get the big duel fuel battery.

Wait for primary arms to do a surefire sale and you can get one for just a little more than that. Better yet if you know any first responders, PA has a hell of a discount for us. Have somebody order a surefire turbo for you

Rooftop Defense also does a great discount on Surefire lights for LE/Mil

HP-X.

Despite what everyone here will tell you you dont need a 500 dollar light

Appreciate the suggestions, y’all. Decided to grab the HLX!

Stream lights will flicker under recoil. Get a surfire gx2 and a Magpul light point that’s under 100$ get the one that’s only one light mode

I had the opposite issue, my Surefire scout flickers and dims (even upgraded the tail cap) but my Streamlights have had no issues. They're only on ARs though.
