Consider your AR naked if it isn\u2019t equipped with a tactical light. When installing a tactical light on your AR15 the idea is to make activating the light intuitive, simple, and a no-brainer. In real-life use, you need to focus on operating the rifle. Not how to turn on or turn off your tactical light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-what-to-look-for-in-a-weapon-mount-light\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">What To Look For In A Weapon-Mount Light<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-left-or-right-handed\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">Left Or Right-Handed?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-tactical-light-mounting-basics\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">Tactical Light Mounting Basics<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-thumb-activated-tactical-lights\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">Thumb Activated Tactical Lights<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-pressure-switch-activated-tactical-lights\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">Pressure Switch Activated Tactical Lights<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-cable-management\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">Cable Management<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-do-you-need-a-tactical-light-on-your-ar15\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-level=\"2\">Do You Need A Tactical Light On Your AR15?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-look-for-in-a-weapon-mount-light\">What To Look For In A Weapon-Mount Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The features I look for in tactical light are simple. It needs to be lightweight, waterproof, and rugged. If I dropped the light, I expected it to continue to work. High lumens are a must. My minimum is 1,000 lumens, which can create a high-noon-like condition in pitch-black spaces. Don&#8217;t under estimate the blinding power of a strong blast of light. It could disable a bad actor just long enough for you to get the upper hand. I\u2019ve come to appreciate lights with a rechargeable battery. Rear activation button and pressure switch compatible, is a plus. Easy mounting to an <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/brand\/ar15\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\">AR15<\/a> is also a must.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3302-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Streamlight ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount tactical light\" class=\"wp-image-200482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3302-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3302-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3302-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3302-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3302.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Streamlight ProTac 2.0 light is rugged, uses a rechargeable battery, and throws 1,000 lumens of light.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A tactical light that checks a lot of the boxes is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/protac-2-0-rail-mount\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\">Streamlight ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount<\/a>. Your list might be different for a weapon-mounted light, but the same rules apply when mounting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-left-or-right-handed\">Left Or Right-Handed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few variables when mounting a tactical light. One variable is whether you are left or right-handed. A second is how you plan on activating the light; via a pressure switch or pressing the button at the end of the light. The length of the gun barrel and the length of the rail are other variables. On short-barreled guns, like an AR15 pistol or SBR, there might not be room to mount a pressure switch. Your only option is to activate the light with your support hand thumb. Let&#8217;s look at some of the basics when installing a tactical light on an AR. Then we will look at how these variables affect tactical light placement on your AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tactical-light-mounting-basics\">Tactical Light Mounting Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoulder your AR15 in your normal off-hand <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-foolproof-field-positions\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2372\">shooting position<\/a>. Notice where your support hand grasps the rail. You will want to mount the tactical light slightly forward from your support hand. Make sure that the lens is behind the muzzle device. If you use a muzzle brake, burning gases are diverted to the left and right of the muzzle. If the tactical light is in the way of that blast the light will get the full brunt of that concussion force which might rattle the light useless. The lens will get some carbon buildup when shooting and that\u2019s expected, so make sure you clean the lens when you clean your rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your light is compatible with your rail, so that means a Picatinny rail, M-LOK, or KeyMod design. You might need to buy an adapter as the interface between the tactical light and the rail. Midwest Industries, Magpul, and other manufacturers offer 45-degree and 90-degree offset light mounts that can tuck the tactical light into the rail and make operating the light more comfortable. The offset can position the light higher, lower, or closer to the rail so it is easier to operate the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3303-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Tactical light mounted to MLOK rail.\" class=\"wp-image-200483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3303-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3303-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3303-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3303-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3303.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Remember to keep the light clear of the muzzle device and the button on flip-up back-up sights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you run a set of BUIS sights, make sure you can access the button to flip them up when needed. Now that you know the general locations, let\u2019s go back to the type of light you will be using. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-thumb-activated-tactical-lights\">Thumb Activated Tactical Lights <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide on activating the tactical light with your thumb, then you need to mount the tactical light so it can be turned on and off with the thumb of your support hand. For a right-handed shooter that means mounting the light on the left side of the AR between the 9 o\u2019clock and 11 o\u2019clock positions. If you are left-handed then the light should be placed on the right side of the AR in the 2 o\u2019clock to 3 o\u2019clock positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3283-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"thumb activated tactical light on AR15 with a quad rail\" class=\"wp-image-200488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3283-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3283-400x288.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3283-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3283-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3283.jpg 1191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If you are righted, a mounting option is on the left side of the AR15; here the Streamlight is mounted at the 9 o&#8217;clock position of a quad rail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An exception to this can be if you run a vertical grip. A vertical allows the support hand to form a fist around the grip which places the support thumb on the opposite side of the AR. So if you are right-handed and using a vertical grip an option is to mount your thumb-activated tactical light on the right side so your support hand thumb has easy access to the light\u2019s activation button. The reverse is true for left-handed shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3282-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"tactical light and vertical grip on ar15\" class=\"wp-image-200489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3282-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3282-400x264.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3282-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3282-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3282.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An alternative mounting position for right-handed shooters using a vertical grip is to place the tactical light on the right side of the AR15; when you grasp the vertical grip your support hand thumb can easily activate the switch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pressure-switch-activated-tactical-lights\">Pressure Switch Activated Tactical Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the mounting location for the remote pressure switch, shoulder the rifle in your normal off hand shooting stance and look where your support hand thumb most naturally falls on the handguard. If you use a traditional cupped hand hold with your supporting hand, then the 9 o\u2019clock position is a good option for you right-handed shooters. That would be the 3 o\u2019clock position for you lefties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3300-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"streamlight ProTac 2.0 mounted to Springfield Armory saint victor mlok rail\" class=\"wp-image-200485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3300-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3300-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3300-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3300-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3300.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Streamlight ProTac 2.0 tactical light is mounted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/ar-series\/saint-victor-ar-15-rifles\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\">Springfield Armory Saint Victor<\/a> with an M-LOK rail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use a bore over or thumb in line grasp then the 12 o\u2019clock position is the place to locate the pressure switch.

A dangling loop can snag on your environment and ruin your day. Zip ties looped through the rail slots keep the cable secure, and they work just fine. Tighten the zip tie and cut off the excess, then rotate the zip tie so the sharp edge from the cut is inside the rail and away from your hand. Some tactical light manufacturers include zip ties in the box.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3293-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"zip tie a pressures switch to an Ar15 rail\" class=\"wp-image-200487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3293-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3293-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3293-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3293-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3293.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A zip tie can secure the pressure switch cable to an AR15 rail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/magpul.com\/wck-wire-control-kit-m-lok.html?mp_global_color=118\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"where-to-mount-a-tactical-light-on-an-ar15\" title=\"Where To Mount a Tactical Light On An AR15\">Magpul Wire Control Kit (WCK)<\/a> does a nice job of squaring away all those loose ends when you run an M-LOK rail.
