FAQ’s:
1.) How does the Surefire M340V stack up against other light brands and models.
One thing to keep in mind: This white/IR light is a COMPROMISE of function. The luxury of having white AND IR usually comes at a cost of performance in one or both of those categories. We are happy to report back that, although it might not be the brightest or most potent white light, it still features amazing throw and a great beam pattern. This white light will surprise you in terms of throw and brightness. It holds its own against the 640DF. If you are searching for a dedicated high output white light, this won’t be it. If you desire IR and white light function, and want an IR illuminator that is even worth a darn, this light will check your boxes.
2.) Who should consider the M340V weapon light?
This light really shines for folks who are just getting into night vision and need an illumination source for running at night under nods. This is especially true for folks running more compact rifles that require smaller weapon lights. If having a laser/illuminator is out of the question, the 340V will get you shooting passively for a relatively low price, especially compared to dedicated laser aiming devices. In some states it is also illegal to hunt predators with “lasers”. Having a dedicated IR illuminator eliminates the laser from the question and keeps you on the right side of the law. Passive aiming is also very effective. This IR light is also potent enough for clip on units like the PVS30 or UNS SR when shooting at distances of 125m or less.
3.) What is included with the M340V?
Inside the retail packaging is the light body, Picatinny adapter, MLOK adapter, (one) CR123A batteries, and Allen wrench tool for mounting and adjustment.
4.) What is the battery life like on the 340V?
The 340V has an advertised 1.5 hour run time in white light and 6 hours in IR. We can attest: expect a full night of run time under nods. This is a great run time, especially considering the output in IR mode.
5.) What about a warranty?
Contact Surefire if any problems exist with your light.
6.) Are these stocked or drop shipped?
We stock what is shown on our site here in our warehouse. These are NOT drop shipped. We hold the inventory, we ship at time of order.
7.) Are Surefire lights still worth it in the world of other great companies?
We think so. Are they for everyone? Probably not. The surefire reputation of quality and performance should be noted. For many people, they buy a surefire for the durability and reliability. For others, it’s in the name. We run many different lighting solutions on our rifles. We are very happy with the M340V and its performance especially in IR mode. No sacrifices are made and this is a very well rounded light in all modes.
The M340V does NOT include a pressure switch or tail cap for pressure switch. additional accessories can be purchased HERE.

This little light is the real deal! It’s super light and the IR lights up the dark like a football field at night! This is worn on helmet and gets me through pitch black woods paired with NV at night with ease. Hell yeah on the 340v, now for the 640v to mount on rifle. 🇺🇲
