Mepro M22 Light Module Kit Review: Illuminating Your Optics for Any Scenario
When your defensive rifle’s optic needs to perform flawlessly in shifting light conditions, the Mepro M22 Light Module Kit offers a seamless solution. Designed to complement Meprolight’s self-illuminating M22 red dot sight, this add-on bridges the gap between Tritium’s reliability and battery-powered versatility. After testing it on a Springfield Armory Hellion rifle, here’s why this kit deserves a spot on your shortlist.
The Mepro M22: A Self-Illuminating Powerhouse
The Meprolight M22 red dot sight is a battle-proven optic combining Tritium and fiber optics for illumination, eliminating the need for batteries in most scenarios. Its radioluminescent Tritium source (with a 12-year half-life) and ambient light-gathering fiber optics ensure visibility in low-light environments. However, transitioning from dark interiors to bright exteriors can overwhelm the reticle—a problem the Light Module Kit solves.
How the Light Module Kit Elevates Performance
The $125 Light Module Kit bolts onto the M22, adding a CR2032 battery-powered boost with three brightness settings. Key features include:
- Seamless Integration: The polymer shell fits snugly around the M22, maintaining its rugged profile.
- Battery Backup: Enhances reticle brightness when ambient light isn’t enough (e.g., moving from shadows to sunlight).
- Zero Maintenance: Swap batteries without dismounting the optic, and enjoy uninterrupted use alongside the M22’s passive systems.
Tested on a Springfield Hellion, the kit proved indispensable during rapid transitions between indoor and outdoor environments. The reticle remained crisp, even when sunlight threatened to wash out traditional Tritium/fiber setups.
Versatility Meets Durability
Compatible with platforms like the SAINT or SOCOM M1A, the M22 + Light Module combo thrives in dynamic scenarios. Pair it with a magnifier for extended range, and you’ve got a “set it and forget it” system. At $499.99 for the M22 and $125 for the kit, it’s a mid-tier investment for pro-grade reliability.
