Weapon light for Tavor

Looking for a decent weapon light for my Tavor X95. Any recommendations? Thinking of keeping the price under $200 or so but all opinions are welcome

Disclaimer, I do not/have not ever owned a tavor.

However Ive got a surefire mini scout on my AR, If you can get a good mount for that it'd be my first recommendation, Would be a bit over your price range but in my opinion well worth it. Otherwise the new stream light rail mount lights would be a good alternative for a similar light.

I'm going to put a TLR1 HL on mine with a conversion for a the pressure switch to use the button on the handguard. Mine is not an x95, though. Youve got more flexibility because of the rail location.

I'm also going that route for light weight.

I had a TLR H1 on my Tavor and will be using it on my X95. No problem using the stock rotary switch (which straddles the trigger guard when mounted on a pistol).

I am just jealous that you guys have them to put a light on

I had a TLR H1 on my Tavor and will be using it on my X95. No problem using the stock rotary switch (which straddles the trigger guard when mounted on a pistol).

I did pull the TRL 1 off my glock and on the x95 last night and it was not bad at all with the rotory switch. Mounted it on the left hand rail (I'm right handed) and was able to use the rotary switch with my left hand rather easily. I might just stick with that for now.


I do love the rail covers and would like to get a new one so I could cut it around where the light is mounted. Anyone know who sells new rail covers? Don't really want to cut up the one that came with it

I'd call IWI US customer service. They'll find a way to get you one.

I have an Inforce light, the 200 lumen version is $125 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Haley-Inforce-Output-Weapon-Mounted/dp/B00I8V9GDA/ref=sr_1_2? ie=UTF8&qid=1468893157&sr=8-2&keywords=inforce+weapon+light
There's also a 500 lumen version for $155 https://www.amazon.com/INFORCE-Multifunction-White-Weapon-Mounted/dp/B00JL58DX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468893157&sr=8-

Either light would be a viable option for your budget. Works great, easy activation.

I called IWI customer service about buying an additional rail cover so I could cut one to make room for the weapon light while sill covering the resort of the rail. Without hesitation he asked me my address and said a new rail cover was on its way free of charge. Big +1 for IWI customer service.

Nice! Yep, IWI Customer Service is great.

Anyone do much investigation of the aftermarket handguards with the spots for flashlights in them?

I have the extended Midwest Industries handguard with a SureFire Scout light inside (can't remember exact model). Works well for me.
