[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 3948947, member: 7629"] posted this how to years ago .. now days super bright LED lights with hot spot are common if one can adjust hot spot to match open sight's point of impact then one can aim and illuminate/ID night threats .. at the same time. not aware of any weapons light mfg with adjustments how I achieved LED adjustments is to use a Surefire weapons light with a light bulb. then insert a drop-in LED assembly. since it's all but impossible to mfg LED drop-in with perfect center. hot spot will be slightly off-center. simply rotate LED drop-in until hot spot matches point of impact of your iron sights. now you have a night weapon that shoots exactly where hot spot of light points to. then one can aim and illuminate/ID night threats .. at the same time. here's a good example of what can be done creating a night duty weapons light. that also functions well during day in all but brightest conditions. unlike laser being next to useless in bright sun for aiming.
