This is a compact, multi-fuel tactical weapon-mounted light designed specifically for short-barreled rifles (SBRs), carbines, submachine guns, and any platform with limited rail space. Released in early 2026 alongside the "Pro" variant (89024), the standard 1L-X offers high-output performance in a low-profile package with a traditional push-button tail cap — ideal for users who prefer simple, reliable activation without needing a remote pressure switch.

The 89026 model is the base version with a standard tail switch, making it more affordable and simpler than the Pro (89024), which adds the Jack-Cap® for push-button + remote redundancy. Both share the same compact body, multi-fuel capability, and high candela beam suited for short-rail setups. Early feedback praises its bright, focused output, reliability, and fit on SBRs/AR pistols where larger lights feel bulky.
