    Disappointed in the new 800 lumen wml. Was zeroing a 300 BLK SBR and mounted a new WML. Had good luck with the 500 lumen on a 5.56 that's been through a couple rifle classes and held up well.

    When packing up after completing my range session i saw some cr123s on the ground and noticed the head of my light blew clean off. Tried stuffing the batteries back in and screwing the top back on to no avail. Whatever held the threads in place no longer existed. Light is no longer functioning. However, the picatanny rail mount stayed rock solid.

    Going to reach out to Inforce, but to my disdain I might be joining the surefire or nothing crowd.

    I think it may have been my mounting position. Muzzle blast might have been too much to handle.

    I have to second this.

    I had my WML mounted in parallel with my muzzle device and it started to loosen on the rail, so I moved it back, so the lens was flush with the hand guard, and haven't had any issues with it since.
