Anyone here done it? Any universal picatinny or tube mounts that youād suggest? Fenix has a weapon mount but Iām not sure itās robust enough for my liking.

3,000+ lumens??! Is that Chinese lumens or true lumens? Lumens ratings on flashlights are like wattage ratings on car audio products , donāt believe any of them and, with few exceptions, you generally cut them in half to get the real number.Yāall are going to make me go back through 2 days of browser history to find that one obscure āmade in Italyā reference that stuck with meā¦..
ā¦.but that would be pointless lol
Soooo, who makes a 3000+ lumen, weapon mountable light that uses at least 5000mwh batteries, in a non communist country of origin.

I have some lights rated 1,000-2,000+ lumens and theyāre too bright for indoor use unless Iām just trying to blind someone and am wearing sunglasses myself. If weāre talking about lighting up a football field with something that fits in your pocket, OK then.
This is basically my experience. Iām not gonna throw out my Fenix but Iām not gonna buy another either.Ive got one or two fenix lights. Good lights but I wouldnt bet my life on them. Surefire is my go to light brand and what I take into the deep woods. 3000 lumens is a tall order. Lots of heat to disipate and lots of battery that will drain down fast. My experience with 1000 lumen lights is most will get really hot and then throttle down from the heat and voltage drop. Never had anything over 1200 lumens. Nightforce parent company made/makes high power hunting lights but I have no experience with them. Good luck.
Not a Fenix. I have 3 Streamlight dedicated weapons lights I use for this purpose.Have you ever weapon mounted one?
