What type of light on LPVO equipped carbine? Why?
July 4th I ordered another carbine, BCM 14.5 ELW upper and a Centurion F-15/Nuke lower because Independence Day. Undecided on an optic at this point. I currently have Aimpoints and a PST II 1x6x24 to swap around until I decide. Currently the PST lives on a 16” gov profile with no light. It previously had a P3X Fury but the weight of the entire rifle was more than I wanted.
Currently leaning towards another PST II for this carbine and I’m curious how people have decided on the type of light to use, if any, paired with a LPVO. Do you opt for a “red dot” light like a U boat or RML for use at the 1X dot level or go to the other end of the spectrum with something like a Cloud Defense “all the candella” for the higher end of the optic range? Less interested in brand, more interested in why and the use case.
Thanks!
