We have had a lot of questions come in recently about the two of our most popular compact flashlight and laser combos. First the specs:
3 Watt LED 23mm Xenon IRB Bulb
120 Lumens output 126 Lumens output
CR123A x 2 CR123A x 2
Laser Max Output: <5mW Laser Max Output 2.5-3.1mW
Wavelength: 635-655nm Wavelength: 630-640 nm
Length 3.37 in. Length: 3.58 in.
For the money both of these lights are good options. I prefer the switch on the NC Star over the UTG, but both offer ether on/off or momentary on.On the UTG you can also leave the switch in the on position and add one of there pressure switches if you plan on mounting it on a rifle. They also both have three settings, flashlight only, laser only, and both flashlight and laser. The NC Star has a toggle switch on the back and the UTG has a rotating part behind the bezel to change it.
The NC Star is a little smaller and lighter then the UTG, but there is one obvious flaw I ran into.
The Quick Release mount on the AQPFLS did not fit the Glock I had on hand. It did slide on the PF9 but the back of the light hit the trigger guard before I was able to get it locked in. I put it on a rifle we had and it fit fine so just make sure your rail is to spec. before you buy it.
The Nc Star is LED so the light has a blueish tinit to it. The UTG uses a Xenon bulb so the light is more yellow. Both of the light seemed to put out the same amount of light.

| Right-UTG Left-NC Star 10 yards from the wall with the lights out. |
I prefer the size of the NC Star but the mount will limit what you can use it for. All in all both lights are a good deal for the money and as long as it fits I think you will be happy.
Make sure you stop by and take a look at all the gear we carry on RangeMonkey.com
