    Default Elzetta Design mounts & lights.

    ELZETTA Design LOW PROFILE mounts and High quality and high output weapons lights are available in SA.

    For info see here: http://www.gunsite.co.za/elzetta.html

    These mounts provide the lowest profile light mounts on AR's and other picatinny/weaver equipped rifles.

    Pricing for a picatinny mount and compact weapons light is about R1k cheaper than a Surefire 600C Scout Light would cost in the US with the Elzetta light providing nearly twice the lumen output of the surefire.

    Excellent quality, compact and affordable high performance weapons light systems.

    Here are links to 2 independant reviews of the Elzetta M60 Light

    http://www.laymanslights.venturous.org/blog/

    [ame=http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=234511]http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=234511[/ame]

    And a review:

    While the review referenced above is from a self-described "Layman", the review described below is from Jim Schecter (owner of Jim's Preferred Precision Products, www.JimsFlashlights.com ). Mr. Schecter is a true authority on LED Tactical Flashlights. Although Mr. Schecter is an Elzetta Dealer, as a former employee of a major U.S. Tactical Flashlight Manufacturer, he was initially skeptical of the new Elzetta ZFL-M60 so we sent him a unit for Test & Evaluation. Below is the email that he sent us after testing the ZFL-M60. The text below, shared with Mr. Schecter's permission, is unedited except for removing the specific brand and model name of the competitive flashlight that was tested along side the Elzetta ZFL-M60.

    This flashlight is as tough as any I've experienced! I don't think that more abuse is required to establish its' toughness.

    My abuse was simple once I found a nice concrete slab at a local gas station.

    I spun the light about 15 Feet in the air 20 times while on. All 20 times it landed on its' ends and middle and all 20 times it came crashing to the concrete it was still on!
    Between you and me the [Popular Imported Light] died on its' 2nd hit. Dead. Caput. No mas. That was quick.

    I took the light home to the concrete slab of my garage and proceeded to slam the light 25 times to the ground as hard as I could from my 5'8" frame.

    After about 3 hits it turned off. Don't worry, the light was fine. The problem was the front battery positive post got squished which destroyed the battery. A new battery and all was well again. The same thing happened again at about hit #21. This damage was from obvious frontal crash which deformed the battery. The deformation is the result of the transition of the potting material where the spring enters. There is a high spot which seems to mirror the damage. This could be dealt with in the manufacturing process by Malkoff if deemed important. I doubt that many people will abuse the light like I did. In any case, a new battery fixed the problem. The positive spring became a bit deformed also but still functions fine.

    I took some damage pics and will attempt to attach them to this email. The total size may require more than one email.

    Conclusion:
    This is a very tough light. In my opinion the value just increased substantially.

    Justin have a look here http://www.gunsite.co.za/forum/index...0.msg35430#new

    and just remember that is a weapons light and does not have different "modes" - it's push button temp on, and turn perm on - nothing to go oh-f&%$.

    I will be VERY surprised if you get a Surefire at this price with the same performance - even in the US.

    The lighting unit will be drop in upgradeable when in furure we have a Malkoff 235++++++ lumen emitter.
