During the 2017 SHOT Show, Lucid premiered their new C3 Weapons light. The Lucid C3 Weapons Light is a 300 lumen weapon light that is designed for use on a carbine rifle. The light housing is made of 6061 aluminum, and has an IPX8 waterproof rating. The Lucid C3 runs on 3 AAA batteries and has a run-time of 3 hours. These tough little lights are backed with a limited lifetime warranty.

The C3 Weapons light is 2.75 inches long and has a mounting length of 1.5 inches The C3 Weapons light weighs 22.5 ounces.

The C3 Weapons Light has dual CREE XPE2 LED’s.

I really like the C3 Weapons light. I would personally mount the C3 Weapons light at the 12’o’clock position on my Ar-15. In this position I could operate the Light with my right or left hand, depending on how I was deploying my rifle. I would not mount this on a pistol, nor do I think it was designed for pistol use. I am glad Lucid is getting into the weapons mounted light market. I look forward to see what they do in the future. I will be asking my editor to get one of these units for us to test.
