Exactly.

The shadow is more of a function of how far the light is from the muzzle and how close to the barrel it is mounted than anything else. Barrel length is a factor as well.

I definitely do not advocate anything on the rail at 12:00 other than sights or an optic unless it is very low profile, like an ATPIAL.
