Product Overview
The X-Series Tactical Light is a two-piece, integrated illumination assembly designed for AR-15 and M4-pattern rifles. It combines a powered vertical grip with a forward multi-emitter light head connected by an integrated cable. Unlike conventional offset-mounted illumination systems, the light head is positioned concentrically around the barrel. This configuration is intended to minimize barrel shadow and distribute illumination more evenly across the forward field of view.
System Components
1. Powered Vertical Grip
- Ergonomic textured grip body
- Integrated power/control function
- Electrical connection for the forward light head
- Metal interface/end component at the base
- Designed specifically as part of the integrated lighting system
2. Multi-Emitter Light Head
- Circular configuration surrounding the barrel
- Multiple individual light emitters arranged around the circumference
- Central opening accommodates the barrel
- Designed to place illumination close to the bore axis
- Forward-facing configuration intended to reduce asymmetric barrel shadow
3. Connecting Cable
- Links the grip/power assembly to the light head
- Flexible protective outer sheath
- Integrated connector at the grip/light-head interface
Design Characteristics
Bore-Axis Illumination
The circular emitter arrangement places the light sources around the barrel rather than exclusively to one side. This is intended to reduce the prominent directional shadow commonly produced by conventional offset illumination.
Broad Close-Range Illumination
Multiple emitters provide illumination from several positions around the barrel, producing a broad forward illumination pattern suitable for close-range environments.
Integrated Two-Piece Architecture
The grip and light head function as a single system while remaining physically separated. This allows the power/control assembly to remain at the user's support-hand position while the illumination assembly remains at the front of the handguard.
Platform Compatibility
Intended platform:
- AR-15 pattern rifles
- M4 pattern rifles
Handguard requirement:
The host handguard must incorporate an end-cap/debris-cap interface compatible with the light-head mounting arrangement.
Compatibility should be confirmed based on the specific handguard configuration before installation.
