Surefire - Flashlights !

Surefire flashlights

They're great. Last one that you'll ever need. I currently have the Surefire G2 Nitrolon LED. It is a polycorboate of some sort and is very durable. Of course the Aluminum Alloy lights are more $$. It's personal preference.

Whichever one you go with, go for the LED bulb. It's the most durable, shock proof, power-conserving design. And they're durable (over 100,000 hour bulb)

Good luck! Brad
 
Thanks Brad, I had no idea that B&H carried Surefire flashlights. Good to know.
I looking at one of their entry models, which seems to have a very strong beam. I have wanted one for a while.

thanks

I use these and love them. They are hogs for batteries so order by the box directly from Surefire.

I currently have and use a 6P, G2 and an E2E that Field & Stream sent me as a reward for a survival tip.

The first two are basically the same, metal vs. plastic, but I like to run a 120 lum bulb in the metal 6P vs 60 lum that normally comes with the 6P and G2. Either will blind an attacker and my wife and I have used these to stop/hold back dogs while walking at night. They are great for lighting up dark bushes when your out walking or coming home late and I know from personal experience that unsavory types think twice before bothering someone with a bright light.

Good filters on locked/flip hinges are available, such as a blue lens for tracking a blood trail while hunting.

The metal E2E is very bright as well at 25 lums. It's small and has a good click on/off tail switch. This one I use while walking at night to illuminate the ground beside me when cars approach. It's definitely bright enough to alert drivers you're there and it's the bright light I carry in my camera bag as the others are too powerful to use for close-up work.

The build quality on these lights is very good but they can get very expensive as you get into the more exotic ones. I'd like to have one of the variable LEDs, but economically I can't justify the expense. I could probably buy a second Leica IIIc or maybe a 'f' for what a variable cost.

One of the nicest things about Surefire lights is that there is even illumination across the projected light, with no blackout areas like you get with conventional flashlights. That's a big selling point for Surefire.

I've given the G2 to several members of my family and recommend it as a gift for anyone you care about.

I have a first generation 6P that I bought when they first hit the market, a 9P I bought a year later and a couple of G2s. I haven't tried any of the LED conversions yet.

Great lights!
 
I knew that there would be a few RFFer's who would have a Surefire bad boy! :D I will get one next month. Thank you everyone for your advice.
