Crimson Trace Lightguard too bright for Trijicon RMR 01?

[drjoker]

I heard that pistol lights that are too bright can wash out a red dot sight for a pistol. Is the Crimson Trace Lightguard too bright and washes out the Trijicon RMR 01 making the red dot invisible? The RMR 01 is the non-adjustable model. You cannot manually adjust the brightness of the red dot. It automatically adjusts.

Thanks.

P.S. I don't want to buy the adjustable RMR because I don't want to have to fiddle with the settings if a bad guy is attacking me. This will be a setup on a concealed carry weapon. As I understand it, if you set it on manual, then you have to leave it on a certain fixed setting. So, if you set it on "bright" for your LIghtguard, then the battery won't last but several months instead of a year. So, if you have an adjustable RMR, then if you leave it on "bright" for your pistol light, then how long does the battery last? Thanks.

Not the clearest picture, as it was rather difficult via cell phone, but you can tell no wash out.. The Crimson Trace Lightguard is only 130 lumens so I dont think it would be an issue..
