Arisaka 300 Series Light Body

IMG_2681_largeArisaka’s new 300 Series Light Body offers a more streamlined alternative to the original light body that is included with the light. They reduced the bulk of the mounting interface to only what is necessary to work with aftermarket light mounts which tend to hold the light closer to the rail. This clears out space around the light, providing clearance for items like your front sight. This is especially important when the light will be used on an offset light mount that holds the light very close to the rail.

The availability of this body also opens up the possibility of building your own light from components including those from Malkoff Devices.

JTT Edition SL1 Sight Light at Special Price

The SL-1 Sight Light from ROSCH Works is one of the best pieces of gear to ever pass through my hands (see the review here). I am impressed with it, not just because of the design or the quality, but because I believe it represents an important development in weapon lights. That is why I am excited about the JTT Edition SL1s that ROSCH Works will be offering for a limited time at an excellent price.

I have always considered the SL1 to be reasonably priced at it’s normal retail price of $235. That price gives you a premium weapon light with a fully potted Malkoff designed LED module, aluminum construction, Cerakote over hard anodized finish, and a front sight that is actually an improvement over the standard front sight post. It costs less than many premium light options but provides both a light and front sight. On top of all that, it is the lightest way that I am aware of to mount both a light and front sight to your carbine.

ROSCH Works is selling the JTT Special Edition SL1 for $175 which is a savings of $60. It will be just like the regular SL1 except it will sport a handsome laser-engraved JTT logo which probably adds 25 lumens of output (not really) and helps regrow hair (not really). I receive no compensation from this. I just think the product is excellent and I like the guys behind ROSCH Works. They have inventory to reduce and I am glad to help.

Go to ROSCHWorks.com and use code JTTsale at checkout to save $60. The code is only good for the purchase of the SL1. There is no limit. Orders containing other items will be canceled. The coupon is good through the end of the year.

Elzetta on Potted Electronics

In past reviews and posts, I have made a big deal about the very few lights I come across that have potted electronics. Elzetta, one of the few manufacturers who goes through the trouble and expense of potting their circuits, explains what it is and why it is a big deal in their latest video blog entry.

 

 

Foursevens Bolt-Action Light

pic_bolt-action-xlYou know about bolt-action rifles. You may even know of the very cool Fellhoelter designed bolt-action pens. Well, now Fellhoelter, Tuff-Writer, and FOURSEVENS are collaborating to bring you the first Bolt-Action Light!

The bolt action mechanism on this light is unique and functional. It can be depressed for momentary on and locked “in battery” for constant on. Shuffling through modes is accomplished by depressing the sliding bolt mechanism in succession. There are 7 outputs (3 main outputs and 4 special modes) to choose from and the light “remembers” the last output setting. The brightest mode boasts 498 out the front lumens for 2.4 hours thanks to the CREE XM-L2 emitter. That is impressive for a light that is roughly the size of a permanent marker.
