SureFire G2X Series LED Flashlights with Tough Nitrolon Body

Built tough, but its hard to push the button.. not for people that has a bad dexterity.

The premium flashlight category has gotten very competitive over the years, and while Surefire quality remains superb, they have quite a few competitors now in their space. And its against the backdrop of competing lights that the G2X Pro--a dual-level light with a polymer plastic body--seems very expensive at its $90 list price. (Which is often what it sells for.) Dont get me wrong--this is a nice, well-balanced light in a great EDC size that performs as advertised--but I couldnt recommend it at $90. Fortunately, Amazon often discounts the light, and if you can grab it when its down to $60, then its simple operation, minimal features and plastic body make a lot more sense. The high visibility yellow is a great color which should insure that youll always be able to find this flashlight when you need it. Thanks for taking the time to read my review and I hope you find it helpful in making a buying decision.

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.

I’m a huge fan of surefire lights. Going through my house I have one in nearly every room, at least one in my car, and usually have at least one on my person anytime I’m out of the house. I started using Surefire lights about 14 years ago when I became a cop and haven’t stopped since. I’ve got some of the old ones that were incandescent and would die suddenly after about an hour of continuous use. In practice, as a police officer working the night shift I had to change the batteries on those lights every week or 2. The LED version came out and dramatically increased the run time. Now at work I’m using the G2X Tactical and in nearly every other role I’m using the G2X Pro. The Tactical is good for Policework since I want a bright light every time I use it. For other work though, I prefer the Pro switch that has low light on the first press and full power on a quick second press. This prevents me from blinding myself when doing close range mundane tasks that I encounter in daily life. I have carried Surefire lights daily for over a decade and have yet to break anything on them except for a pocket clip on one. I have been thrown into a pool, fully dressed, by my drunken coworker and the lights even survived that with no issues. If you need a bright, tough, and reliable light then you cannot go wrong with Surefire. The G2 series are my go to lights from Surefire.

I really like surefire. I use this light daily for work with theSurefire (V70) Rugged Polymer Speed Holster, Black. It leads with the bright light which I wanted. The only downside to this light if you are in a dark area and only want to light up areas quickly on /off type use it will be bright than the next time low....that is what it is supposed todo but I have found that not good in a few circumstances. If that could be a problem for a buyer pick a light with one output.

Very satisfied with the light, and surpassed my expectations. Surefire quality control is second to none, and I now have 3 variations of the G2X that I use as a Police Officer Daily. This light greatly enhances usability for a policeman because on this particular light, the high output is first and the low output is the second click, which is the other way around for the rest of the series. This was my one downfall of the G2X light and now it has been addressed and this light is perfect. When compared to the Pro and Tactical versions, the LE is noticeably brighter and I havent noticed a significant difference in battery duration. I have been using this as my back up light on my duty belt for at least 2 weeks and it is still going strong. Couldnt recommend enough for a LEO. For a civilian, also a great light, but your money would be well spent with the PRO version.

This is an excellent quality flashlight. It is very easy to operate, and it generates more than enough light. It should be noted that this flashlight was a little shorter in length than I had expected, but it will be fine for most men unless you have extra large (XL) sized hands. For whatever it is worth, my Surefire flashlight was sold by Amazon and shipped by Amazon. It was definitely NOT a counterfeit. It is an authentic Surefire flashlight and I highly recommend it.

I have another older surefire but I misplaced it somewhere in my world so I went and bought this one. Works like a Surefire should - wet, dry, muddy, or really cold. Absolutely love the feature that lets you twist the body part that puts the battery contact further away from the power button so it doesnt accidentally get turned on. Glad that it is NOT black. It can be seen in the dark in my bag or wherever. Works well with rechargeable batteries You wont regret purchasing this.

I have had several flashlights from Surefire. Although expensive, both in purchase price and maintenance (light housing) they all have been dependable and handy.

I had a tough time deciding between the G2X LE and the G2x Tactical. The LE version turns on emitting 600 lumens and can switch to 15 lumens to extend battery life. The Tactical version turns on emitting 600 lumens and thats it. That makes the Tactical version more reliable when seconds count. That being said, I bought the LE because I can access the same high light mode the first time, every time while still having an admin mode helping to preserve my night vision. I like this set up a lot but can understand the argument for the Tactical version. I find the reach to be sufficient, the beam to have a nice bright center with an excellent diffuse light surrounding that enabling peripheral vision. The light does have a slightly green tint to it, but I dont care. The light is light and reliable and USA designed, built and guaranteed - thats pretty dang good in my book. This is the one I have on my belt because it checks off all of my boxes. PS - The third G2X option is the Pro. This light turns on in the 15 lumen setting and can be bumped up to the 600 lumen setting with a quick half press of the tail switch. This is a great option if this is more of a survival light or a just in case light for you because it will help to extend your battery life. This was not an option for me because I was looking for a tactical light and need the maximum brightness right off the bat. PPS - Check out the Fenix ARB-L16-700 16340 battery (you need 2) for a rechargeable option to help save you a bundle of money on batteries. You will get a shorter runtime out of rechargeables, but you will save money over single use CR123As.
