Exploring the Modlite ModButton Lite: Design, Function, and Tactical Application

Tactical mounted weapon lights (MWLs) are now every bit as important for a mission as your weapon and ammo loadout. If you can’t see what you want to hit, you definitely cannot risk taking a shot. That’s why any light—even for a moment—is critical for the success of a mission. 

The Modlite series of ultra-tough torches are tailor-made to handle the demands of field use in the most rigorous conditions. In a nutshell, they are built to hold up regardless of how roughly you handle them. 

However, a torch is only as good as its power system. The best tactical weapon light mounted on your AR won’t do you much good if its switch and wiring are compromised during a mission. 

You should mate your dedicated MWL to a high-quality ignition system. Here, you would want a switch that is every bit as tough as your weapon and its mounted tactical light. One that can handle even the most demanding missions without breaking or malfunctioning. After all, you have to rely on it with full confidence.

The ModButton Lite: The Ideal Running Mate for Your Modlite WML!

This is a slightly smaller and more compact variant of the original ModButton. It is also lighter than its full-size counterpart, so it won’t affect the balance of your combat shoulder-fired weapon. This switch also features the same momentary-only activation capability that is standard with the original ModButton. Apart from that, it is also equipped with the same high-quality, high-power cable as the older and bigger ModButton. However, the overall package is slightly smaller since it comes without an integrated mount. 

This switch has been made from heavy-duty injection molded plastic and has been fully potted as well. This means it can provide extra protection even when you have to operate in very harsh environments, so it is built to hold up alongside your dedicated WML.
