SureFireG2X Series LED Flashlights with Tough Nitrolon Body

This is a decent quality light, plenty bright for most of my needs, feels good on the hand. Can also run off of a 16650 rechargeable battery. However it is expensive for what it is. I would recommend the Streamlight Polytac over this as it's less expensive and has a better user interface and is programmable

I got the LE model, and this really is an excellent flashlight. It feels durable, and has rolled around in backpacks, pockets, and freezing cold vehicles with no issues at all. The light output is incredible, with a nicely focused area in the center of the beam without sacrificing too much peripheral lighting.I've used it for patrols at work, outdoors activities, and even briefly as a temporary (and very effective) "headlight" for a vehicle that didn't have any installed while moving from a garage to a barn. The low power mode is, as you'd expect, sufficient for looking at things closer up, reading, navigating tricky terrain in the dark without blinding anyone, etc.The light is almost bigger than I'd want to put in the pockets of my jeans, but fits nicely inside a jacket pocket or similar. It's nice to be able to partially unscrew the tail cap so that the light doesn't come on inside a pocket or backpack and drain battery life.The light is a little bit pricier than what I was used to paying for flashlights, but for a durable and extremely effective product like this I don't mind paying.

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 that's 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 don't care. The light is light and reliable and USA designed, built and guaranteed - that's 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.

good flashlight

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 it's 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.)Don't get me wrong--this is a nice, well-balanced light in a great EDC size that performs as advertised--but I couldn't recommend it at $90. Fortunately, Amazon often discounts the light, and if you can grab it when it's 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 you'll 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.

Amazing flash light

Surefire makes a good product and they stand by it. I am sure this light will last me many years with daily use. Just the right amount of throw and spill for an EDC light. Plus, it's US made. I like to buy American when given a choice.Only small gripe is battery life. It's good, but not great. Low mode is perfect for indoor dark spaces, or very close in your lap sort of things, but that's about it. High mode is awesome, but usually a bit more than I really need, and at the expense of battery life.I wish more manufacturers made quality lights with a more modest output (like 2-300 lumens) and good battery life, rather than focusing on high output. But I guess the marketing guys feel like that's what sells.
