I just want a good looking one to mount on my VFX SCARH to look tacticool - doesn't need to function really just for aesthetics.

 

Cheapest I am seeing on ebay is like these:

Thanks in advance.

Its a clone pf the surefire XC1.

 

I ended up getting this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33023707420.html

Looks the business, cheap, not actually going to be used.

So the specific nomenclature for the one you bought is the L3 Communications AN/PEQ-15, target designator, aiming device, and illuminator.

Ha ha I use to work for L3 different department though wish I picked up a few more things from them before I left.

No it isn't, that's a copy of an Insight/L3 LA-5B ATPIAL.  

 

Similar to a PEQ15, but not the same.

Looks pretty darn similar to the unit I had on my service rifle when I was in.

 

EDIT: looked at L3/Insight’s website, looks to be functionally the same system, LA5B is just higher power than the issued AN/PEQ-15.

Additional information.

Look again, the LA5 is physically different to the PEQ15.   It's not just higher power, the shape of the unit is different and so are the controls.

It has a little IFV light on the side which I can't see how it can be useful

I just went on Insight’s website, and looked at their product catalog. It’s listed as a higher power version of the AN/PEQ-15.

I totally get that, and the functions are the same, but higher power...  HOWEVER, they have physical differences, the LA-5 LOOKS DIFFERENT and the OP asked for the specific nomenclature of the item he posted, which is an LA-5, not a PEQ15. 

 

A BMW M3 is a more powerful 3 series, but that doesn't mean you can call it a 320D!  They're different.
