TF-1133 Flashlight Green Laser Sight Combo

At this price point I wasn’t expecting much, I was sure surprised when I opened the box and held it in my hand. What a well thought out design. We own 100 acres of woods, I walk my dogs at night so there’s always a concern about skunk and coyote encounters so I carry a 22 rifle since center fire isn’t legal in my state after sun down. I wasn’t looking for much, just enough to light up the target to put my red dot optic on it. I’d been taking the Streamlight 7A light off my Glock and attaching it to the 22 each night, but it really doesn’t light all that well and eats batteries, so I ordered this light for the 22. I picked this one out from the million options available because of 3 main reasons. 1) Its the only light I could find that attaches directly to Magpul M Lok without having to hunt down and find adapters. Even the high end lights are still using only outdated mounting methods that require additional adapters. This works out of the box on M Lok or Picitany with no extra adapters needed. 2) It looks like it was actually designed to be a gun light, not a pocket flashlight duct taped to the end of the barrel. All the other options I could find are nothing more than just a handheld flashlight, bulky and stick out (especially after you add additional adapters to convert to M Lok) which snags on everything, and doesn’t look purpose built at all. 3) The specs were impressive, but I had my doubts they weren’t being exaggerated at this price point. I have higher end gun lights that are 500, 800 and 1000 Lumens that just weren’t giving me the light I wanted. The 1450 Lumens was one of the highest I could find. Upon trying it out the first time it was clear the specs are not being exaggerated. It lights the area out front beautifully, perfect range and the transition between spot and flood is the absolute perfect balance, the lighting is consistent for perfect night shooting range and great flood to the sides for fast running target acquisition. Its all aluminum, not plastic, doesn’t have a cheap feel to it at all. The USB magnetic charging is great, no plug hole to fill with dirt, I can charge it off my phone adapter in the house on AC or in my Truck on DC. Other high end lights won’t let you do this without ordering a AC or DC specific model. I also like the switching system on this, 2 separate switches in the perfect rear position, no funky multi function single switch of having to press and hold or press and release multiple times to do different functions, and no sloppy wires running to a separate switch. It sits low profile on the gun, initially I was going to mount it out of the way on the side, but found mounting it on the bottom gives me a quick index point for my hand when firing and serves as an aid rather than something being bulky and in the way like the more expensive lights. I’ll admit, I wouldn’t have paid $300+ for a no name light, but had I spent $300 on this light after trying it I wouldn’t be complaining. I have $300 lights that I like far less than this light. My only complaint is the rechargeable internal battery isn’t replaceable, no idea how long it lasts and at this price just buying another new light is about the same as replacement batteries any how, I’ll just hate the thought of throwing away such a great light when the day comes that the batteries no longer charge. 100% satisfied and I’m the type of person who loves researching things out to be sure I’m not going to have buyers remorse by finding something better later. Its unfortunate that sometimes all you have is a brand name and false hype to base a decision on. It often leads to paying more for the advertising that goes into a product rather than the quality. I’m ordering another one to replace the hand held flashlight I keep in my tool box.

Mounting was very easy, and it came with different mounting options. The magnetic charging cable is pretty short, so either you remove the light from your weapon or use and extension cord to your USB charger. (that is not included) The light is pretty darn bright! I can't verify the exact lumen output but it does light up my entire living room, and fans out nicely so it's more of a floodlight than spotlight. The flash is very intense and I'm sure will make whomever it's pointed at momentarily put off guard. I would buy this again, and in fact am considering buying one for my M4.

The light is bright with a combination of a spot light and wide dispersed spread. The green laser functions fine, seems to hold true. I chose this because the picatinny mount can be installed in 2 different positions either toward the flashlight or to the rear toward the buttons. I have it mounted with the picatinny toward the front/light which is ideal position on my Mossberg 590 20 gauge. We'll see how it holds up to recoil over time.

This is the second one of these I've purchased, the first one didn't have the laser. I bought this one with just to see how well it functions. So far, so good. Firstly, this light is NOT a good tactical light due to it's shorter battery life and not being able to quickly renew the power source in the field. The mounting system is also probably a little on the light side for true tactical use, but if you're attaching it to plastic MagPul furniture it'll stand anything the forearm will. BUT, for a weapon-mounted light on a home defense long gun it is a very good, maybe exceptional choice. The mounting system and power source issues listed above don't necessarily apply to a light used on a weapon that is going to be used in a home defense application. I've already listed the CONS so let's address the PRO's about the light. 1. It's inexpensive. For the price point this is a 5-star light. Two or more of these could be purchased and mounted on different weapons for far less than the cost of a single true tactical light. 2. It's very well constructed of quality materials. 3. It's easily mounted on different mounting platforms with the supplied adaptor to address different user preferences. 4. It's very light and not bulky. It doesn't stick out to hang on other gear or items. 5. The separate switches are well positioned and positive, but you can "light" touch them for temporary lighting. 6. It's bright. I have no way to truly measure the output of this light but using the old MKI eyeball it's plenty bright for any indoor use and all but maybe the largest of yard area. All in all I have no problem recommending this light for home defense use. If they could/would change the power system to use re-chargeable 18650 batteries to enable on-board charging or in the field substitution AND maintain the current size and shape I'd put this light on all my long guns that have a light.

I love this item I put it on an ar 15 on the right side just a bit past my fore grip and can easily press both button with my index comfortably, the size is good for me and fits great with my Mlok shroud. Since I have an acog set at 100 yard zero distance I set this one for 75 yards so this way I can quick scope onto a target in the event I need to. The quality is great because its a solid attachment, the durability is great as I have already put some use to it and it hasn't let me down yet, although laser does shift a bit with use so continue boresighting as it does have a slight issue with slipping however not by a huge margin like maybe 1/8th of inch so I am good with that personally. Worth while buy great product 10/10 would recommend.

Great light, very bright, shines a very long distance, mounts great on Magpul furniture

Brilliant very compact and very bright. Easy to control modes when in combat
