The SME SMEWL Rail Mounted Pistol Weapon Light delivers 250 lumens of bright white illumination through its advanced Cree LED technology. This compact tactical light mounts securely to standard Picatinny rails, providing reliable target identification in low-light scenarios. Built for durability and consistent performance, it serves professionals and civilians who demand dependable weapon-mounted lighting.
What Makes This Different
The SMEWL stands apart with its optimized beam pattern that balances throw distance with peripheral coverage. While many weapon lights focus purely on maximum output, this model prioritizes practical illumination that won't overwhelm the user's night vision recovery. The aluminum construction withstands recoil forces from centerfire pistols while maintaining zero retention shot after shot.
