SureFire G2X Pro Dual-Output LED Flashlight with click switch, Black

This flashlights beam shines a long distance. I love it for locating my dog after dark in the yard. It is also great for night time walks, low beam works for this.. My only issue is with the lithium batteries. They last a long time, but the fact that the batteries arent supposed to go on air plains, or in postal packages that must be sent my air, is a downside for me. I like taking my Surefire with me. As for the cost, they are a little costly, but well worth it.

This flashlight has two (2) settings when you depress the button on the end. When you first press the end cap button you get standard LED flashlight illumination and when you press the end cap button the second time you get what appears to be almost tripple the illumination of the first light (very bright). When manipulating the flashlight focus, loading and unloading the batteries I found the flashlight had a very strong and precise mechanical feel. I use this flashlight for work and find it to be a well made instrument.

Just got this little guy yesterday and am completely happy with it. it is going on my AR15 once I get my new rail in, and judging by the output of the 320 lumens, this thing is *blinding*. If you are on the fence about it just go for it. Totally worth the $50 bucks.

Great flashlight -- easy to hold in your hand -- convenient low and high beam button. Ive owned Surefire flashlights before. I like this one very much. I purchased it this year--2014. I hope the batteries arent as expensive as my other Surefire. The batteries should last longer in this light because the low beam wont use as much of the battery life.

Since this light is so well reviewed and detailed online and in other reviews I will focus on the questions I had prior to purchase but couldnt find answers and some of my experiences with the light that I didnt see elsewhere. 1. Is 15 Lumens too low for regular use considering high is 360? - No, 15 lumens is great for average use. I have no issues with the low level being too low for my needs. 2. Battery life an issue considering the high lumens? – I used the light on a week-long camping trip and primarily used the low setting but frequently used high for very short periods. The batteries are still solid. I bought a back-up set of batteries just in case, but haven’t needed them yet. Some of the things I noticed about the light that I haven’t seen elsewhere: The tail cap switch/button is not as positive as I would expect from Surefire. This was especially true when I was just using the push and hold for momentary light. I played with the spring under the cap a bit and it really improved the issue but it’s still not ideal. Often I end up with the high beam when I dont want it which can blind me when being used close up. The nitrolon body feels like aluminum. I was expecting a rubbery feel based on the description but the body is actually very hard and looks very much like the aluminum head. A nice surprise and alleviates any concerns I had about its future durability. My light has a very small piece of plastic or rubber sticking out of the gap between the head and body. I assume this is some sort of gasket that was displaced when the head was attached to the body. It’s barely noticeable and doesn’t seem to affect performance but clearly is not supposed to be that way and is probably a manufacturing defect. The retail packaging is a real pain to open. I know it helps prevent theft at point of sale and protects the product but I had to work way to hard to get the light out of the packaging. I am really pleased with the light and don’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Lights are only 2 types, soft low and blinding bright, which is great. However, the clicking button is LOUD. Not a fan of that in a quiet house and a burglar finds out where Im at because he can hear me click before he gets blasted. Other than that, the light seems very durable. Ive not had it long enough, but the old metal Cree tactical lights Ive had for about 6-7 yrs are still working, still tough and has a quiet button, as well as a strobe, which this SureFire does not have sadly.

Amazing flashlight. 2 settings... (1) bright and (2) burn out your retinas. The light itself is small and durable. Excellent EDC addition, self-defense tool (as I mentioned... its blindingly bright), or tool for walking the dog in the evening. I was a little concerned about how fast I would burn through batteries, but after a year of light, though nightly use, I still havent changed the batteries. Im extremely happy with the quality of the flashlight and wouldnt hesitate to purchase additional SureFire lights in the future.

I bought this to go with an older, incandescent Surefire 6P tactical light and Im very happy with my purchase. The G2X Pro Dual Output light features 2 power levels, low & high. On the low setting its plenty bright for locating things in a dark house, garage or finding a dropped bolt under the hood of your car. But on the bright setting it will wash out even the Surefire 6P Xenon bulb. The 6Ps Xenon bulb is very bright and will wash out the brightest of Maglites beams by way of comparison. The G2X will light up things over 100 yards away quite nicely. Switching from low-to-high is easy. Push the tailcap button and you get the low power beam. Release and reactivate within 2 seconds and you get the bright high-power beam. If you push the button hard it will turn on the light in its current mode until you push the button again so you dont have to continuously push on the tailcap button. This isnt a cheap light and it shows in the construction. The body is a Nitrolon polymer thats not as cold to grab as aluminum and nicely contoured for a good grip. The head is machined aluminum with 6 flats to prevent it from rolling easily. The push button on the tailcap is rugged and sealed. The beam is pre-focused so unlike Maglights you cant switch from spot to flood style. But there is plenty of light output. Cons: Uses 2 CR123A lithium batteries which can be expensive. But you can buy a dozen for between $18-$20 via Amazon at the same time (recommended). Because of the high output capabilities, battery run times can be very short (read the descriptions). These are intended for short, periodic uses (i.e. police tactical flashlights, search & rescue, etc.) and the head/lens area can get too hot to touch if left on for extended periods. Mine is in basic black which is hard to find in the dark. For emergency kits Id suggest either the Yellow version or the Orange Fire-Rescue version as they are easier to see in low light.

As I own 3 of these, for the money it is well worth the investment. Dad saw mine and liked it bigtime. Pros: simi-soft no slip grip, super bright light, and light weight for a tac box or backpack. Cons: knowing how to click the button to change the brightness of the light took some getting use to for Dad. Bottom line: worth the price and the quality is that of which one would expect from Surefire.
