Product Spotlight: Cloud Defensive Light Control System

Forget about rubber bands, zip ties, wire, Velcro® straps, shoelaces, or gaffer tape! The Light Control System (LCS) by Cloud Defensive helps you securely mount a weapon light remote pressure switch, and Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant shows us how to install it. In a previous Quick Tip ("How To 'Dress' a Weapon Light Remote Switch Cord"), Caleb showed us how to cinch down a remote switch's cable to keep it out of the way. But Cloud Defensive offers an even tidier, simpler, more elegant solution. The LCS consists of a mounting plate that is model-specific to a particular remote pressure switch. Caleb is mounting the LCS for the Streamlight ProTac switch; Cloud also offers a plate for the Surefire ST-07 switch. Separate side plates lock the mounting plate to the handguard rail. Why don't they come already attached to the main plate? Caleb explains. The side plates include cable "management" channels and holes for mounting screws. The holes in one plate are threaded, so it's easy to install the screws, with no wrangling of separate nuts or locking bars. The result is a very clean, streamlined switch assembly with NO protrusions to get in your way or gouge your hand.
