Looking for a good value light that’s mlok attachable without using a rail attachment.
I’d like 1000 lumens
TIA

Get a Streamlight Protac and then buy the Mlok mount for it. It has the same footprint as the Surefire Scout
Protac
MLOK mount
I use the cloud defense switch mount on 2 of my AR's and really happy with it.

As said earlier the Streamlight Protac is an really nice light. It is a little bigger than the surefire scout. I also have a olight odin mini which I really like. I really like the quick detach mount it comes with.

I would recommend Cloud Defensive or Modlite for AR mounted lights. I chose the Cloud Defensive Rein. I bought the 2.0 version at the time, with the 3.0 being available now. I like my light and have no complaints.
With the Modlite, you have 3 choices. PLH, OKW, or HOG.
PLH - 1350lm 54,000cd
OKW - 690lm 69,000cd
HOG - 1350lm 120,000cd
And on the Cloud side, you have the Rein.
Rein - 1250lm 100,000cd
If you aren’t aware, candela (CD) is more or less a measure of throw. If you take a light with 1000 lumens (total amount of photons emitted) with 50,000 candela or one with 100,000 candela, you can expect a very tight focused beam that goes a longer distance with the 100,000cd light, or a more wide beam that lights up a whole room with the 50,000cd light. This is entirely up to your situational usage. On a farm with acreage or want to punch through car windows? Go higher CD. Inside an average sized home and want to illuminate the living room? Maybe a wider beam with less CD is better.
You want the 18650 models, unless you’re using an pistol/SBR setup, and rail space is limited. 18650 has both more capacity and higher current discharge, meaning a brighter light.
I think they are both very good, albeit expensive, lights.
The Cloud Rein comes with an MLOK mount (my 2.0 did not, I purchased separately), 1 battery, and a charger for $400.
The Modlite packages include a charger and battery. Notably, the Modlite excludes a remote switch, which is standard on Rein lights. If you want the remote mounted switch, the Modlite OKW and PHL run $396 while the HOG runs $466, including the remote switch and inline mount.
In my opinion, I would go the Cloud route, especially considering the mount I paid ~$70 for is now included in the package.
Surefire makes excellent light also, no issues with them. I am just more familiar with Cloud and Modlite lights.

Stupid question, but I guess mounting should be on the opposite side so it doesn’t interfere with line of sight?
Best place to put the pressure pad on top rail or side?

Completely up to your personal preference. For me, I had to just use the on/off switch instead of a pad. Big hands, bigger guy, and I tend to inadvertently squeeze hard with my lead hand Cgrip. No mater where I put it, I would turn it off and on while shooting. Not ideal for me.

Alot of my lights are older p6 knockoffs like solarforce. Who makes the best p60 hosts these days?
Posted on 11/2/23 at 10:00 pm to Whisky Dent
Ended up getting the protac 2.0 2000 lumen, arisaka mlok mount, and the cloud defense switch mount
