lol cuz they assume most people who would buy an $85.00 tactical light would know.

They take 2 x CR123A 3volt Photocell lights. All decent tactical lights use this same cell. Throws out alot of lumens, but the battery life is limited to 1-2 hours continuous use.

This specific weapon light is a copy of the Streamlite M3 weapon light which is about 2 x more expensive. The G&P light is a very good light and I've even used it on my real USP without fail. These use a real Surefire P60 bulb, so bulb replacements are relatively easy.


On KWA USP


On Glock 26 Advanced

There's another airsoft company called G&G that also make a copy of this weapon light. Not as good in design or build quality though.

they do make lithium Ion CR123A rechargeables though. I just dunno how good they are.

I did what Hans suggested though. I bought about 200 a few years ago around .90/pcs. 4 weapon lights and 6 surefire style ones use them up.

yeah, i'd be worried about the charge life of the rechargeables. I'f they act like NimH's your light will just die.

Nice find Scir. Prob with this setup is it won't power a 6 or 9 volt Surefire lamp. Any AAA, AA, C, D battery @ 1.5 v, won't power a Surefire bulb properly unless you added 4-6 cells and I'm sure your MaH would suck off store bats This is a good solution for anything liek red dot and lasers that use watch bats tho.

So you would just be remoting CR123a 3 volts which you'd only need to do for extra battery life.

yes, they are a custom double watch battery (It's actually 2 watch cells shirnkwrapped together, which i'm sure can me replaced with 2 non shrink wrapped versions) but that specifc reddot cones with an extra set of them and it uses very low power. So unless you just forget to turn it off it'll be fine.

But give a hollar over to AEX to find out which exact watch battery it is.

That scopes quality is good for the price, but not that great compared to other reddot scopes. If you're only out for the ACOG look then it's a good scope.

In general all reddot and illuminated crosshair scopes use a generic coin/watch style battery.
