HRT Advanced Weapon Light System

HRT has been working on a dedicated weapon light for some time. I finally got some time on it. The HRT AWLS, Advanced weapon light system, is a high output light setup to mount on any Mlok compatible rail. AWLS operates off an omnidirectional switch that activates a traditional pressure switch integrated directly into the back of the unit. It is a rechargeable battery light, but it can operate off a pair of CR123s. Expect performance indoor and outdoor with a 1700 lumen output and a 103 minute run time. this is the large version and there is a more compact version.

Joystick switch is neat.

[@ETHRON1]

Surfing youtube this morning, finally a video that's entertaining and informative...good job and thanks.👌👍👍

[@america2a657]

Love mine - Great light for a shotgun!

[@ChadKelly7]

HRT makes some great stuff. I have their carrier system and it has more capability than I really need, but I do know it's nice! I have been eyeing this light from them since announced. I had just got a Cloud Rein 2.0, so I can't really justify buying this just because it's cool. Some day I will need another high end light and this is on my very short list of 2. Another Rein or HRT AWLS are the only ones I'm considering.
Good look at a great product! Have a great week, dude!!

[@derek3154]

I like the switch, cool it’s a removable accessory if you don’t need it.

[@BattleChemist]

An interesting add-on, but I really do wonder about possible ND's with that switch... even just bumping against your equipment while slung could cause it to flash.

[@BlackRifleBear]

Agreed. What a stupid idea for a switch. Whoever designed this has no real world experience 😂

[@stealingfire5036]

Sensitivity is adjustable

[@TheHashtagSquad2K15]

@@BlackRifleBearthere’s several videos of people whacking it on things without it going off, on top of that the sensitivity is adjustable to require more force. Finally there’s a $20 piece of equipment that’s available that will cover the lens of any flashlight removing the worry of white light NDs that’s also extremely easy to flip off the end of the lens when you need the light…..

[@FireEyeEian]

When running a suppressor, the Trex lightbar might be a good option to push the light farther down.

[@jackglockstar]

I crack up when people think surefire is a decent light. The specs are terrible compared to lights from smaller companies.

[@jimmyschock9395]

I was in the same boat as you not long ago but their new turbo lights look promising but Ill probably stick with cloud.

[@jackglockstar]

Surefires latest pr scam still leaves subpar lights. Less power, less output, less throw.

[@jackglockstar]

And the surefire prices are outrageous. 4sevens.

[@jimmyschock9395]

@jackglockstar 47's isnt even a company anymore but they did make some cool lights but arent in the same league as surfire, cloud and the like. Surefires new turbos are rite up there in lumen output and candela with the best of them . 700 lumens and 100k candela for the scout df turbo, new rein still crushes it though with 100k candela and 1250 lumens

[@jimmyschock9395]

Is there room to throw some o rings around the stem or button itself to possibly limit travel so you have to overcome the oring to press?

[@rouchenelvann]

Since we’re doing product reviews, how about reviewing the maxim defense short barrel Tui rounds 👀 literally NOBODY has reviewed it and I’m curious of how they’ll perform.

[@runnerrobbie22]

Are you using the high output battery that comes with it or the ones they say are less powerful?

[@timjohnson8390]

I need this switch cap for the cloud rein

[@stealingfire5036]

Valhalla tactical makes them, they might have one that works for you.

[@timjohnson8390]

@@stealingfire5036 thank you

[@KevinNiven]

I'm in.

[@ETHRON1]

On your main rifle, night shooting, what optic was that??

[@timowens7214]

Great light but the tailcap is a no go for me. Any slight bump could cause an ND with light 🤷

[@TheHashtagSquad2K15]

There are plenty of videos of people slapping the cap without it going off and bumping it into things. It requires a very intentional press, and it’s also user adjustable to the point that you can lock it out if you’re in a situation where you’re really that concerned.
