Holosun Solar powered dot that fits MOS cut out

I thought that was one of the light sensors. I suppose it could be doing double duty.

Me too, but I don't see anything else on the optic body that resembles a switch. I'm trying to create a preliminary QRC for it, maybe I will just wait till they drop the owner's manual to confirm.

Thanks.

Is this circled thing the button, do you think?

Yes, that's what they showed in the shot show video.

Thanks, that is a great close up at 2:30. I just need the logic for how that button actually works now, and I will bang out the QRC.

Appreciate it.

Cool, thanks for the video.

So does one need to buy a grow lamp to charge said sight?? Asking for a friend.

I find that even when I’m at the outdoor range I’m under cover, so in theory my sight will see little direct sunlight.

From what the Holosun rep said, any light will charge it. You won't need direct sunlight to charge it. And, if I remember correctly, but it's my bedtime, I think he said 20,000 hours of battery life. 800+ days. If the battery works half as well as they said, then I'll get 400+ days.

Literally just leave it under a window for a few days

I also recall a comment from Aaron Cowan that his had been fine for over a year without any effort to charge it.

Sarcasm??? Leave my carry gun under a window for a few days so anyone walking by can do a smash and grab?

Thats great. My regular Holosun does the same. However, when it isn't fine, I just put in a new battery and we are ready to go again in like 2 minutes.

Please dont misunderstand. I like the idea. Would have preferred that to be a closed emitter optic, but I've been carrying open emitters for years without any serious issues. My gun lives indoors, under a cover garment 95+% of the time. I'm at the range once a week-ish, but end up under cover most times when I cant redefine the firing line due to others being there. Even if I were to go out from under the cover I'm there for an hour or so. Is that enough to charge it or do I end up with a dead optic and need to take hours to charge it. Kind of sucks if I wake up and see the blinking dot and now what???

While my question was posed in a tongue and cheek kind of way it was serious. Can this thing be topped off with drawer lamp, or safe lamp or? How does charging work and get controlled. If one were to rig up a chagrin light in a nightstand drawer or safe, would it cook the battery eventually...

My understanding (and it could be wrong) is that it's basically a battery optic with a solar option to extend the battery life.
If it doesn't see a lot of light, just swap out the battery like a normal RDS.
