Element – M3X Long Tactical Light
The Long Switch Assembly Includes a Rotary Switch and female connector for the tape switch. With the Long Assembly attached, you probably cannot use this light on a railed handgun. Element also makes a short tail cap switch for handgun use.
The Rotary Dial has 3 positions: Off, Monetary On and Constant On. In Momentary on, the Tape switch or Tail Cap can be depressed to turn the light on. The dial has a very positive operation. Very easy to operate, even with gloved hands.
This light take 2x CR123 batteries and uses an LED bulb.
Element – AN/PEQ-16A Integrated Pointer/Illuminator Module(IPIM) Laser Device
Element – AN/PEQ-16A
The Element – AN/PEQ-16A is a multifunction aiming device. This specific PEQ device is not to be used as a LIPO battery case for lack of internal room. All functions are powered by 2x CR123 Batteries. Battery housing has metal threads on the cap. The sticker on the top of the unit shows the batteries go in a certain way, but this is opposite of how they should actually be installed.
The unit has an on/off switch on the top of the unit, and can also be controlled by a tape switch assembly. The selector mode switch on the top of the unit is easy to operate and set in specific modes. Details are very good.
The Element – AN/PEQ-16A Operates in the following modes:
Please note: Element does state that there is an Infrared Illuminator as well. But none of my IR viewing devices could pick up anything from the device when switch was in the IR position.
