SureFire G2X Series LED Flashlights with Tough Nitrolon Body

The batteries that come with it last at most, only two shifts of work for me. I work nights so I have to constantly use this flashlight and its usually out of battery by the end of the week.

I have one of these in every bedroom and every car I own. Hurts to buy 6 at a time but when theres an emergency this light will work. Dont worry about the expensive CR123 batteries. They last 10 years in storage. I buy ONE 12 pack every two years and replace the batteries in my cars. Dog gets lost...Ill find him a block away when his eyes glow. Bump in the night... no problem illuminating half the yard. Need to light your house when the power fails...light runs on low for 52 hrs. Light every room for days using old batteries. Spend once get lighting for life. No tactical strobe modes to screw around with, just high and low. Easy Peasy.

If I could do it again, I’d get the order final Surefire “Taclite”. The one handed ergonomics on the flashlight are not great. It takes me some fumbling with both hands to be able to employ it n the mode is hat I wish to. It takes a lot of screwing in order to be able to switch it to continuous. There’s little room for error as far as the push button string goes. Meaning that if it is not screwed in just right, the push button setting won’t work. This is NOT my experience with other “tac lights” from surefire. It is lightweight and durable seeming but it’s also plastic/ polymer/ or whatever”space age”/ state of the art material that they are advertising it as. I’d imagine one can find a small, high lumen, “tactical Handheld light” at Walgreens/ CVS for about $20 bucks.

Can’t think of anything I don’t like about this light. Without looking, I believe it’s 600 lumens, and the main thing/reason I bought it is for the single function tail cap switch. No multi-function high/low/strobe to fiddle with. And, it is Surefire quality. I do have a Brownell’s 500 or 600 lumens light with multi-function, recessed tail cap. But this light has a tail cap switch that is proud, making activation easier with a variety of shooting methods.

This is the second G2X single output I have ordered. I love them even if they are a little bulkier than some other options. When using it I just want on/off. K.I.S.S. and this is perfect.

Its tough, waterproof and bright. Only one drawback I can see is that when using on max bright setting nearly the entire light gets very very hot. I was not expecting this. I guess ill use it to warm my hands when its cold.

I have owned at least a dozen tactical lights and all of them were missing something. This one has just the right mix of high and low light options without sacrificing the simplicity of starting out on high every time which is the most important thing a tactical/defensive light needs to do every single time on the first click. Ive carried this light since 2019 and when married with the v70 hard holster is perfect for use on a duty belt. One other very nice feature is the composite material that is much warmer on the hands in the winter than aluminum that many lights are made out of.

I bought this back in January and it is May with the flashlight very weak. I even bought extra batteries and a charger and still hold a very weak light. Do not buy this light, it is too late for me to send back. I feel I got ripped off.

I am a flashlight freak. I have dozens of all types from many manufactures. SureFire has become my favorite, my go to brand. Streamlight is second. This product is my seventh like it. I use them in my vehicles, my motorhome, my boat and on my AR platform rifles. I have NEVER had a problem. The only thing I have concerns about is the newer lights are some sort of plastic. My older versions are aluminum. Time will tell.

Gave one as a gift with 12 batteries to each of my sons. One son called to say said thank you after the power went out and he used two of the batteries up. Best flash light he has ever used.
