200 to start this works for meFinally looking at weapon lights. How many lumens would you all recommend for a primarily indoor weapon?
I am seeing some that go up to 1500 lumens, but am thinking that might actually be too bright.
I wouldn't use a weapon light outside unless hunting wabbits.But seriously, I woulds start at 400 and go up from there.
All my HD pistols get surefire X300U's, my rifles get Modlite PLH's (upgrade from surefire m300/600 scouts).
Being blinded by your own light is bullshit, and a total load of derp. I would much rather be blinding whoever I am pointing my gun at.
Also if you are actually ever going outside, you can really never have a light that is too powerful, distance, mist, smoke, photonic bariers, all kill output and throw really quickly.

Cloud defensive, the owl is the best weapon light I own. Inforce dosent even compare. You could go with a surefire also.

Thoughts on a light with bright center? To the uninitiated it seems like an advantage: blind them with the center but can illuminate a wide area without blind you.Also don't get tricked into thinking more lumens equals a better light. As an example lights that have a higher candela rating generally project light better at distance. It's possible that a light with lower lumens projects light further than alight that has higher lumens but less candela. YMMV
