Description
The SureFire M640DF Scout Light Pro Dual Fuel is one of those lights that just makes sense the moment you get it on a rifle. It runs on the included SF18650B rechargeable lithium-ion battery for a full 1,500 lumens, or you can drop in two CR123A cells and still get 1,200 lumens when you're out and about. That flexibility is the whole point here, and it's a big reason folks keep this light on their short list. Behind the TIR lens you get a hybrid beam that throws a defined hot spot out to around 250 meters while still spilling plenty of light around you for close-in work, so it handles everything from clearing a room to spotting something across a field.
What Sets the M640DF Scout Light Pro Apart
The headline feature is the Low-Profile Mount, or LPM. It swivels, so you can rotate the light closer to the rail for a slimmer profile or kick it out to make room for a laser or pressure switch. Mounting hardware for both MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and M-LOK rails comes in the box, so you're covered whether you're running a quad rail or a modern free-float handguard. The body is aerospace aluminum with a Mil-Spec hard-anodized finish and O-ring seals rated to IPX7, which means it shrugs off recoil, rain, and general abuse the way a SureFire should.
Power and Runtime on the Dual Fuel Scout Light Pro
On the rechargeable 18650 you'll see roughly 1.5 hours of runtime at full output with peak intensity around 16,000 candela. Swap to a pair of 123A cells and you're looking at about 1.25 hours. The included battery charges off a USB cable right on the cell, so you don't need a dedicated dock. The rear Z68 click-style tailcap gives you momentary or constant-on control with a shrouded button to prevent accidental activation, and it swaps out for other SureFire Scout tailcaps and remote tape switches if you want to run a different setup down the road.
With proven Scout Light DNA, a genuinely useful mount, and the freedom to feed it whatever battery you've got on hand, the M640DF earns its spot on a serious build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What batteries does the M640DF Scout Light Pro use?
The dual fuel design runs on the included SF18650B rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the full 1,500 lumen output, or you can use two CR123A lithium cells for 1,200 lumens. The 18650 charges directly off a USB cable, so no separate dock is needed. Having both options means you can top off at home and still keep CR123A cells on hand as backup.
Will the M640DF fit both Picatinny and M-LOK rails?
Yes. SureFire includes mounting hardware for both MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and M-LOK rails right in the box. The Low-Profile Mount also swivels, letting you rotate the light toward the rail for a slimmer setup or away from it to clear room for a laser or other accessories.
How far does the M640DF Scout Light Pro throw?
The TIR lens creates a hybrid beam with a defined hot spot that reaches out to about 250 meters, backed by peak intensity around 16,000 candela on the rechargeable battery. You still get plenty of spill light around the hot spot for close-in tasks and situational awareness. It's a strong all-arounder for close to longer-range work rather than a dedicated long-throw thrower like the Turbo version.
Can I add a remote pressure switch to the M640DF?
You can. The rear Z68 click tailcap unthreads and swaps out for other SureFire Scout tailcaps, including remote tape switch setups. That makes it easy to relocate activation to your handguard if you prefer a pressure pad over the standard rear button.
