Is there a wire to bring it back to palm for on/off? Looking for a LGBT myself but want one I can turn on when I need it, not turn on and leave on while clearing stuff or sneaking up on anminals with my optics

I have no idea what LGBT is

It has a lever on the left side to choose from momentarily or click on/off. It has a guard to prevent AD's, it is a very well thought out light. I have not hunted with it, only cleared rooms and a few yard size open areas and it does fine. There are a few streamlights that do good also for that price range

That's what I use. It's brighter than incandescent 12v spot lights. I also have the TLR-1 Game Spotter. The Game Spotter has a bell end to focus the light for long range and uses a green LED. Works awesome for pig hunting at night.

You need to look into the Streamlight options. They have 2 packages that have light and pressure switch ready to roll for around $100-$150. I have 2 of these on my ARs and plenty bright.

a lot of the guys that use the thumb over bore grip with the AR platform place these lights on top and can easily be turned on with your thumb without having to reposition your grip.

All I can suggest is "you get what you pay for"

Surefire is another top brand. I like the INFORCE. its a natural on/off when mounted correctly.

This light has a unique angled push button switch. It was a little weird and looks weird but I can use it and use all my sights "more better"
By being on top it doesn't snag doorways etc.
One of those things you don't know until you try it.

I also like it because it has no pressure switch and in about 10 seconds or less o can take it off and have a flashlight

Surprised you don't have an SBR for your work rig. Did you buy that or was it supplied?
