Well that would solve one problem
A front sight for your AR-15 that you can mount a light to. I’ve seen the versions that put a rail on the side. But this wouldn’t add any width to the rifle.

Nifty.

Ned Christensen has had a light mount that attaches to a front sight gas block and puts the sight in front of sight post for a long time now. He calls it the ILM or Ideal Light Mount.

Makes sense.
I am reminded that automobiles typically come factory-equipped with headlights, which it seems to me is also a nifty idea. Come to think of it, they even come with their own charging systems too.
“Come now; let’s not make things complicated.”
I know, so let’s demand automobiles with mounting slots for headlights, but no headlights or charging systems. That’s much simpler. That’s the KISS principle. So if we decide we want lights, we can bolt on aftermarket headlights, which of course must have their own individual battery compartments for powering them. And of course we’ll have to buy the mounts, and there should be a dizzying array of different possible configurations and several mounting standards. That’s much simpler.
On second though; no. Keep That Shit Off My Car! (inserts image of Russian dude in fur hat with his open hand outstretched toward the viewer, his car in the background)
If wheeled vehicles were meant to have lights on them, the first ancient Egyptian chariots would have had them.

Rosch works has had something like this for a while now. One variant has a built in light, another uses any standard 1″ flashlight.

Didn’t Elzetta start out with a light-mount that attached to the sight tower? But this is on top.
Egyptian chariots had torch-bearers (AKA spear-fodder). The English ones used by Queen Boudica had Lucas-lamps that never worked.

@ NotClauswitz; well then I stand corrected in that case. Spear fodder? You mean to say that those lights Gave Away Their Position?
