WADSN PEQ-15 LA5; Red Laser/White Light Version

A PEQ box is one of those essential items if you want to rock that fully decked out special forces look, and the WADSN PEQ-15 LA5; Red Laser/White Light Version adds some impressive functionality to go along with the elite aesthetic. This PEQ unit provides both a bright white light with a stroboscopic mode, ideally suited to navigation and disorienting the enemy whilst breaching a room, and a red aiming laser to assist in landing those all-important first shots. The LA-5C variant of the PEQ15 is the latest variant to enter the market and is a must for an ultra-modern setup.

The activation switch for the PEQ15 LA-5C can be found on the top of the unit, right in the centre. This button allows you to scroll between the different activation modes which include white light only, red laser, red laser and white light and white light strobe.

The included pressure switch activates the unit in the mode of choice and connects via the 2.5mm PEQ jack on the rear of the unit. The pressure switch provides "momentary on" functionality, meaning that as long as the pressure switch is held down the unit will stay turned on.

Included in the box is a small section of 3M Velcro, allowing you to attach the pressure switch to your primary in a position that suits your playstyle. The rotary dial on the top of the unit provides no function but is present to add some realism to the unit, along with the two alloy "visible light locking" screws which are anodised in blue; another nod to realism to match the real PEQ15 LA-5C perfectly.

The bezel at the front left of the unit contains the white light LED and includes a diffuser cover to both protect the lens from incoming fire and soften the light for more discrete navigation. This diffuser cover is retained via rubber straps and can be pulled to the side to allow the light to be used for offensive operations, with its dazzlingly bright LED helping to disorient the enemy, giving you a precious extra few seconds to land your shot.

The dual aperture on the front right of the unit is where the red laser is housed, sitting in the lower of the two apertures. This laser can be adjusted and zeroed using the adjustment screws on the top and right side of the unit, allowing this laser to actually be used for aiming rather than just adding cool points (which it still does, by the way). The laser aperture also includes a cover that can be pushed to the side to reveal the laser itself.

At the rear of the unit, on the left side, we can find the battery compartment of the WADSN PEQ15 LA-5C which holds 1x CR123a cell (not included). To access the compartment, simply unscrew the cap, after which your batteries can be inserted. To facilitate battery swaps in the field the battery cap is retained on the unit with a rubber lanyard, which stops the cap from falling and getting lost. The battery cap is sealed thanks to a rubber O-ring, which should help the PEQ unit resist minor moisture from moderate rain etc.

If you want to push the looks of your primary into the top tier, a PEQ-15 is a fantastic, functional way to do it. As an alternative to the more expensive laser/light combo units on the market, this WADSN PEQ-15 LA5; Red Laser/White Light Version is a fantastic choice for those who want the Gucci look without spending Gucci bucks!
