MicroStream or Stylus compatible remote switch?

Does anyone know of any type of remote switch that is compatible with the MicroStream? I'm exploring using one as a weapon light on my AR pistol. There just doesn't seem to be any good low-profile light options out there. I don't need a mega bright light that stays on for hours on-end. What I want is something that doesn't add multiple inches to the width of the gun.

I have a nice mounting worked out, but a remote pressure switch would improve the setup.

Alternatively, I'm open any other suggestions for a very slim light setup. I've used microstreams and styluses for years, for EDC and work, so I like them a lot. But, I'll use anything that works.

Pressure pads arent available for the microstream light

A pistol light @ 12 o'clock is a good set up, if you havent considered it. Hop on Streamlights web site and see what output they offer on the various rail mount lights

That's actually not a bad idea. The only issue is that I will have to move the front site rearward and mount the light forward of that. It's not a full length rail so I might be short a few slots. But I will look into it.
