ModButton Lite is a smaller lighter weight cousin to the original ModButton. The switch features the same momentary only activation as the original ModButton. It also features the same high power cable and switch from ModButton but in a slightly smaller package without the integrated mount. The switch is made from injection molded plastic and fully potted to provide extra degree of protection in harsh environments and ensures a durable long lasting switch.
ModButton Lite utilizes a patented Unity Tactical design which supports power delivery needed by the next generation of high output weapon lights like Modlite. A Unity built Surefire® compatible cable lead allows ModButton Lite 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 we recommend using a SF DS00 tail cap which can be found here.
One problem that exists today is older legacy switches are not able to pass the current needed to run current and future generation lights. These older switch designs do not allow Modlite light heads to run at full power. Typically these switches reduce output by 15-20%. ModButton Lite utilizes an updated plug design as well as improved electronics that allow the ModButton Lite to output at full power so all the lumens and candela can be put to good use.
Note on cable length options: For almost all use cases the 4.5in variant is what you want to buy. Unless you have a special setup the 4.5 in cable is going to be plenty even running a laser.

A very switchy switch. It switches when it should and doesn’t when it shouldn’t. My only complaint is how it fits against the regular modbutton which could be the fault of either one.
Rooftop is the sauce.

Must have to get the best out of Modlites. Not the first Modlite modbutton I’ve bought, but the first from Rooftop. But not here for the button. Got to me in 3 days. Top notch customer service with multiple notifications along the way of the process and shipping of my order. Hard to beat great customer service. Includes food. Enough said.

In addition to the my review of the Modlite Modbutton Lite, I wanted to say how pleased I was with Rooftop Defense’s customer service. My order was shipped out quickly. I appreciate the little gift of instant ramen and the funny personal note 😀 I will definitely be ordering more gear from Rooftop Defense in the future.
The Modlite Modbutton Lite was exactly what I wanted. Low profile, clean, and well built. I bought it along with a surefire UE tailcap to go with my Arisaka 600 flashlight. I love how that combo came together. Highly recommended.

It’s great! Mounts onto the picatinny securely and is low profile enough to not snag going into a bag. The 7″ option is long enough to wrap around my MWI rail.

By far one of the best switches out there. The design is excellent with a small footprint and easy activation. Pair this with a DS00 and you’ll have a weatherproof and nearly fail proof setup.
