About a year ago I received prototype dual flashlight mount from Gear Sector. The reason for it’s development was because Jason, the owner of Gear Sector, wanted a streamlined way of showing off Gear Sector’s low profile mounts on demo weapons.
Gear Sector already makes some of the slimmest low profile mounts for sling attachments and flashlight mounts and he wanted something that would be completely ambidextrous to allow activation of the light switch when shooting from either shoulder.
Gear Sector Dual Light Mounts on various AR's
Fast forward a year and there was enough demand that Gear Sector had a limited run manufactured. The result is an efficient and extremely sleek mount that allows the user to have 2 flashlights mounted on the weapon.
The advantages for having 2 flashlights on the gun are:
- Allow for activation of the flashlight when shooting from either shoulder without changing the support hand grip.
- Having a back up light on the gun in case one light dies,
- Configuring 2 different output bulbs so that you can have a higher output light on the gun if you need to scan a long hallway or a long distance if outside
- Utilizing 2 different types of lights such as using one white light and another IR light if using night vision
- Using a filter to allow for use of one light as a Nav or signaling light while retaining an immediate white light capability
The mount is lightweight and durable with only 3 allen screws, one for each light ring and one to mount the light to the rail. It is priced reasonably and when coupled with an inexpensive light such as the Surefire G2 it gives the shooter an extremely efficient but flexible light package.
