    Not through any attachments that i know of.

    There is a screw point on the bottom of the handle, but the scope mountable Lightforce have different handles, and mounting systems than the hand held ones.

    You could fabricate one, but as said there is nothing "ready to buy" that i know off.

    I played around with this idea for a while.
    I just didn't have the right stuff to do it so stopped the screw hole at the bottom I found when you use that the light isn't on your view trough the scope I'd say its do able alright just need to trick around a bit more.

    If you put a quick detach mount on upside down and get a rectangular piece of metal to match the mount size..11mm etc.. Drill a hole in with a screw that fits the lamp...
    Screw it into the lamp and then you should be able to attach it to and from the scope.

    Same theory behind mounting a camera on top of the scope.

    I can knock you up a mount that that will sit on a picatinny rail no problem Noel, but to tell you the truth your light will be like a pimple on an elephants arse , the N11 outdoor shop has Hid mounted lights that will cost about 90 euro , i have the hand held and it is unbelievable.You will get 6 hrs or more constant on a lithium battery pack (22Ah)
    The scope mounted is adjustable on the bracket so it can be tilted were if you go with a bastardised version of the hand held it will be fixed.

    If the n11 shop hasnt got them in stock go with this crowd.Good to deal with.
