How do you turn on/off the tact light or laser sight in BF3?

I've killed more people coming down the subway tunnel than any other spot because I can see the tact light coming down the tunnel. Likewise, I have been killed more than I have killed using the tact light. While I'm still learning how to best use the light, it would be nice if I can turn the stupid thing on and off. Anybody know how?


Assuming you have not modified any of the key mappings, you can toggle the light and laser off and on using T


On the Xbox the light is controlled by the D-Pad.
