The Crimson Trace CWL-202 delivers professional-grade illumination for rail-equipped long guns with its powerful 900-lumen CREE XPL LED output. This compact tactical light transforms low-light shooting capabilities while maintaining the streamlined profile essential for rapid target acquisition.
What Makes This Different
The CWL-202 combines Crimson Trace's precision engineering with proven CREE LED technology to produce consistent 900-lumen output that cuts through darkness at extended ranges. Unlike basic weapon lights that sacrifice beam quality for raw output, this model delivers a focused hotspot with controlled spill pattern for both target identification and peripheral awareness. The black anodized aluminum construction withstands repeated recoil cycles while the low-profile design prevents snagging on gear or vegetation.
Key Features
- 900-lumen CREE XPL LED produces intense white light output
- Universal Picatinny/Weaver rail mounting system fits standard long gun rails
- Black Type III hard anodized aluminum housing resists corrosion and impact
- Ambidextrous rear-mounted activation switch for left or right-hand operation
- Compact 3.5-inch length maintains weapon balance and maneuverability
- IPX7 waterproof rating handles harsh weather and tactical conditions
- Momentary and constant-on switching modes for tactical flexibility
Field performance centers on reliable activation under stress and consistent light output across temperature extremes. The rear-positioned switch allows natural thumb activation without altering grip or sight picture, critical for competitive shooting, law enforcement operations, and hunting scenarios where split-second target identification determines success. The focused beam pattern illuminates targets at 100+ yards while maintaining enough spill light for close-quarters navigation.
