The Modlite ModButton Surefire Switch was designed to conserve rail space and deliver a switch that can handle the power needs of modern lights. It is an integrated momentary only switch and offset Scout mount that provides a simple clean mount in one convenient package. The ModButton utilizes a patented Unity Tactical design which supports power delivery needed by the next generation of high output weapon lights. A Unity built Surefire compatible lead allows ModButton to be backwardly compatible with all Surefire, Arisaka and Modlite Scout bodies as well as Surefire UE and DS00 tail caps. If constant on is a requirement Modlite recommends using a SF DS00 tail cap.

One problem that exists today is older legacy switches are not able to pass the current needed to run current and future generation lights. The older switch designs do no allow Modlite light heads to run at full power. Typically these switches reduce output by 15-20%. It utilizes an updated plug design as well as improved electronics that allow the ModButton to output at full power so all the lumens and candela can be put to good use.

The Modlite ModButton Surefire Switch is waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes and features more durable buttons than many competing pressure switches on the market. The offset mount will allow any Scout type mounting system to be used. It is compatible with the Unity FUSION Light Wing adapter which is designed to extend the light out to clear lasers or help push the light out in order to help reduce or eliminate shadow from suppressors.
