More Lighting Solutions from Elzetta Unveiled at SHOT Show

As in past years, Elzetta brought some new lighting solutions with them to SHOT Show this year.  While stopped at one flashlight vendor’s booth as we roamed the halls of this year’s show, the booth staff asked me if I liked flashlights.  Before I could answer, he immediately answered his own question:  “of course you do, you’re a guy.”  He was probably right, judging from the quantity of lights around here – tucked in drawers, stuck on metal surfaces, hanging from hooks, mounted on firearms, and in pockets or bags for EDC.

Last year Elzetta introduced their 1-cell Alpha model, a prototype belt clip that would facilitate carrying their indestructible torches, as well as new heads with changeable lenses and automatic voltage sensing heads.

This year they didn’t let down lighting enthusiasts.  In collaboration with Impact Weapons Components, they have developed a new integrated weapon-mounted light:  the Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlight.  Based on an Alpha body, the new Mini-CQB weighs in under 5 ounces.  Despite the 1-cell’s dimminutive size, it delivers 315 lumens in a pattern optimized for close quarter engagements.

And since it is based on existing Elzetta lights, the Mini-CQB is compatible with any of six tailcaps to give it rotary, click, high/low, high/strobe, or tape switch functionality.  The Mini-CQB is available with multiple ambidextrous attachment mechanisms to suit most users’ needs, including the A1 model for M-1913 Picatinny rails or the A2 model that is compatible with keymod systems as well as Magpul’s M-LOK system.

Elzetta plans to begin shipping the Mini-CQB in April and is currently accepting pre-orders with prices starting at $210 for the A1 model with rotary tailcap.
