ClackClackBAM Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Thank you! I had an IWC mount on the way but was still looking for a light. Appreciate your help, along with Earl at IWC. I'll go with the M600DF model instead. Edited June 20, 2020 by ClackClackBAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I think you’ll be happy with that. If you want to shave some weight and have a better mounting foot, Modlite sells a replacement body, the 18650. With it, the light will only take rechargeable batteries.

ClackClackBAM Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I like the idea of a lighter body but I plan to run the 123A batteries since it will be sitting around most of the time. Plus I won't need the full power indoors, even for a brief flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Does anyone need a light? I've got a NIB M600IB that I'm not going to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Can't edit my last message, but the light is sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think I'm going to move my M300 to something else and grab a M600 for the B M4. What is the better light body option out of the two for the SF M600? Backbone body or Modlite 18650? I have the Backbone for my M300 and it seems to have more versatility in terms of mounting positions. I'm just wondering what the benefit of choosing the Modlite would be over the BB?

Milspec Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I may have partially answered my own question. It appears that you can not use: Lithium CR123 cells in the modlite body. They seem to be Surefire DF specific. Edited August 29, 2020 by Milspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If you’re using the M600DF, your only options at the moment are the factory body or the Modlite 18650 body. The Modlite body mandates that you use the rechargeable cells. The factory body allows you to use the rechargeable battery or the 123A batteries at a reduced output level. Modlite sells KeepPower 18650 cells which top shelf quality. You’ll want their 3,500mAh rated batteries. The NiteCore D2 charger is awesome. It gives you a lot of data about the condition of the battery. They’re inexpensive too. I have several 500 lumen Surefire M600C lamps which run on 123A’s. They’re output is decent. The M600IB is a step above the C with the auto gain benefits which help a lot indoors. Now the M600DF is several magnitudes above both in terms of flood output. I’m probably going to swap over to a DF on my AR15 and leave the IB on the Benelli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have a good source for SF light heads? I picked up my last one at Optics Planet with a coupon. I'm just wondering if I'm missing a less expensive option. Edited August 29, 2020 by Milspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Adding them to the cart at Impact Weapon Components has been the best pricing I’ve seen lately. 220 bucks for a DF model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
