By using the light independently, I mean removing it quicly from one gun and putting it on a other one.
How big are your tactlight actually? How many lumen do they output?
When you say you can wire them without modding the gun, what kind of gun did you do it on? I run a P90 with a custom J batterie and I can assure you, there is NO room for extra wires. By batterie barely fit as it is.

Wasn't necessarily meant for p90s for less seen wires. It can be changed from one gun to another as fast as changing batteries. it was primarily looked at for rifles. but i am sure i can make it work on a p90. it will work best with m4s because there battery compartment is right by the rails and there's holes to slip the wires in.
as for size the actual unit that's powered by the aegs battery will be about the size of a flash light. in fact the prototype is nothing more then a dollerstore flashlight with a hole in the back that takes 2 AA batteries.
As for your p90 I might actually be able to make a custom one for it that will work.(the real question was is it worth going out and getting the supplies to make like 20 or 30 of them at a time or should I just stick to making my 5)
Space inside the gun needed is the size of an adapter for your battery and about 2 small wires that can even run right along your aegs wires and take up no space.
All things considered I never thought about p90s I thought about mp5s m4 ak famas.
so ya if your looking for a cheap but effective and easy to maintain tac light i can see if i cant come up with something after all the wires that i was going to send with it were literally going to be a more permanent thing from some guns(mp5 AK and others similar) but then again the wires is part of the mount for them ones like m4 it be really simple and no need for extra parts to move it from gun to gun.
over all they would be made custom for the guns you want them for
the battery box on the other hand was a more permanent thing(you might have to put a hole in some guns for it) But it was designed with m4 and g36 in mind.
ultimately what i can make is custom flashlights its not hard to make them work.
Right now they can't rival an led flashlight yet but getting there there main benefit is you can power these babies by a car battery or any other battery you can think up. that also means that you can get a small piece that holds say 6 volts of batteries((button cells AAA use your imagination)) and use that as an alternative power source.
