The Mission First Tactical TORCH Backup Light-White (TBLW) is a Picatinny-rail-mounted firearm light that weighs less than an ounce and stands less than an inch high, making it an unobtrusive addition to any home-defense gun. A single CR2016 battery provides 12 hours of illumination, and a recessed, pressure-activated pad quickly turns the unit on and off. While the TBLW features two white-light LEDs, a model utilizing one red and one infrared LED (TBLIR) for nightvision use, is also available. Price: $50.
