The Crimson Trace CMR-208 delivers professional-grade illumination with dual output settings of 110 and 420 lumens, providing tactical operators and civilian users with adaptable lighting solutions for close-quarters and extended-range target identification. This rail-mounted tactical light features advanced LED technology housed in a black anodized aluminum construction built to withstand harsh operational environments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single-output tactical lights, the CMR-208 offers dual brightness settings that preserve night vision during close-range operations while delivering maximum illumination when distance identification becomes critical. The universal rail mounting system ensures compatibility across multiple firearm platforms without requiring weapon-specific adapters. Advanced circuitry maintains consistent output throughout battery life, preventing the gradual dimming common in budget tactical lights.
Key Features
- Dual output LED system: 110 lumens for close-range work, 420 lumens for maximum illumination
- Universal Picatinny/Weaver rail mount fits most tactical firearms and accessories
- Black anodized aluminum housing resists corrosion and impact damage
- Ambidextrous activation switches accommodate left and right-handed operators
- Regulated LED driver maintains consistent brightness throughout battery cycle
- Compact profile minimizes snag hazards during weapon manipulation
- Water-resistant construction performs in adverse weather conditions
Field testing demonstrates the CMR-208's effectiveness across multiple scenarios, from home defense situations requiring precise target identification to law enforcement operations demanding reliable illumination under stress. The 420-lumen high setting penetrates darkness at extended ranges while the 110-lumen low setting prevents over-illumination in confined spaces. Weather sealing protects internal components from moisture and debris during outdoor use.
