Cloud Defensive REIN 18650 Legacy Body Kit

Finally. The REIN Legacy Body gives you the ability the run other tail caps and other remote switches on your REIN. Using a Unity Tactical™ or Surefire™ branded remote switch with a Surefire™ tail cap assembly, with their REIN 3.0 light head and a Cloud Defensive branded 18650 battery, you can expect 90,000 candela from your light. That reflects only a 10% drop from the 100,000 candela the proprietary Cloud Defensive REIN remote switching yields. By giving up that 10%, however (barely noticeable to the eyes), you gain all the cross-compatibility that many of you want and need. And your REIN system is still more powerful than any other option on the market when you factor in the combined lumen and candela capability.

An important word on that 10% loss: It’s approximately a 10% reduction in output and subsequent candela. They use the word “approximate” because that number will technically differ from tail cap to tail cap based on which one you choose. It will also differ from remote switch to remote switch, based on which one you choose. They strongly encourage everybody not to get wrapped up in the nuance of this reality. Instead, focus on the fact you are getting 90% of what the REIN is capable of, and you are getting that through tail caps and remote switches that you already have or want. You generally need dedicated equipment to see a difference in performance from 90% to 100%. And even at 90%, in the case of the REIN 3.0, the Legacy build gives you more capability than any other brand on the market when you factor in the combination of both lumens and candela.

The fuel source that your light head was designed for dictates the fuel source for the REIN Legacy body. All their REIN lights are optimized for use with our Cloud Defensive-branded Samsung™ flat-top 30Q 18650 batteries or 18350 batteries in the case of the REIN Micro. If you have a Dual-Fuel light head, you can still use your CR123A batteries as a secondary power source. They recommend only using flat-top batteries. Most button-top batteries are not compatible with the REIN Legacy Body.

The smaller diameter of the Surefire™ tail cap will yield a smaller tail-cap profile which will reduce the overall profile of your REIN light. When coupled with the Unity Tactical™ or Surefire™ switches, please be aware the overall length of your system will be a little longer than our own remote switch offering. As shooters themselves, they know size matters. Particularly when you start working your lights around other systems on the gun, such as laser systems and backup sights. With a small 1.3” bezel diameter and lower mounting lug height profile, it sits tighter to your gun than ever before. The full-size REIN is now right at home on even the shortest host platforms.

The REIN Legacy Body is fully compatible with any REIN light head from Cloud Defensive. This includes all REIN 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 light heads. Light heads from other manufacturers do not work on the REIN Legacy body. The REIN Legacy Body is fully compatible with Surefire™ and other branded tail caps consistent with the Scout™ size, diameter, and thread-pitch. In short, if it works on a Scout™ light tail cap, it’ll now work on the REIN Legacy body. The REIN Legacy Body is fully compatible with all the standardized Scout™ pattern mounts on the market, as is the standard REIN offering. If you have a mount for your light, you are good to go.

The REIN Legacy body was created for the purpose of allowing you to use other remote switches and tail cap assemblies with your REIN 3.0 weapon light. As such, it is widely and fully compatible with all the Surefire™ and Unity Tactical™ remote switching options commonly used with Scout™ – pattern lighting systems.

Switch Compatibility:

• Surefire™ ST-07
• Surefire™ SR-07
• Surefire™ SR-07-D-IT
• Unity Tactical™ Hot Button
• Unity Tactical™ TAPS
• Unity Tactical™ AXON
• Modlite™ Modbutton

Features:

• 90,000 Candela peak beam intensity (With 18650)
• 1100 Lumens output (With 18650)
• 65 minutes run-time (With 18650)
• Dual-Fuel capability. REIN 3.0 runs on 18650 and now can also run on two CR123 batteries. 18650 rechargeable battery provides the best output, by far. However, you can now use 2 CR123A batteries if needed. You will see reduced output with CR123A batteries (50,000 Candela, 400 Lumens and 60 minutes runtime, respectively).
• 3” Bezel diameter – smaller than the original REIN in diameter.
• Lower mounting lug profile keeps the REIN 3.0 closer to your rail than ever before.
