Product Description
Compact (pocket sized), high-intensity LED flashlight for tactical, outdoor, and general use. Puts out a smooth, brilliant beam with four times the light of a larger two-D-cell flashlight bright enough to temporarily blind and disorient a person by impairing his night-adapted vision. And it continues producing useful light levels for an impressive 12 hours on a single set of batteries. Constructed of lightweight, corrosion-proof Nitrolon® and aerospace-grade aluminum. Body features molded-in grid for a secure grip in the wettest conditions. Small size, high output, and extended runtime make it perfect for self-defense, camping and backpacking, emergency/disaster-preparedness kits, or everyday carr

Bright Light March 16, 2010
C. Chou
My first most expensive light I ever bought. I own 3 of these now. I like how it is tough, small, and bright.
I do notice how it lacks a push button always on switch and sometimes worry about that for self-defense situations.
Overall I like the light and would recommend it for its brightness and size.
Nice Tactical Light February 12, 2010
Tactical Tradecraft (Arizona)
The Surefire G2-LED 80 Lumens flashlight is a great light. But markets are changing and there was once a time when Surefire cornered the tactical flashlight world but the landscape has shifted and there are many other companies that provide very high quality flashlights.
Basics:
Runtime is 12 hours on 2 CR123 lithium batteries. It is constructed of lightweight, corrosion-proof Nitrolon and aerospace-grade aluminum which has a nice texture and comes in a variety of different colors. The LED flashlight will last forever so there is no need to worry about changing the bulb.
Following is my breakdown:
Light
The LED light is very bright. Some of the reviews complain that it is not bright enough but there is very little difference between 80 lumens and 120 lumens (yes, I have tested them out in numerous situations and environments). The beam is a solid very white and bright light that provides good coverage for a small to medium sized area. It is much brighter than a 2 D cell Maglite. It has decent throw but not the best. It tends to spread out with distance as opposed to a narrow beam of light. Depending on the environment that you are working in this may be a benefit to you. The aerospace-grade aluminum lamp piece will get warm when the light is on so use caution.
Tail Switch
The tail switch functions as designed and can be used for momentary on or twist the tail cap for constant use.
Body
The body is very strong and durable with a great finish. The head is made out of aerospace-grade aluminum and the paint will scratch and come off over time. Although small, this light will be able to take abuse and still function flawlessly. You can buy a lanyard kit as an add on accessory if you have the need for a lanyard.
Uses
As a tactical light the Surefire G2-LED is a very good light and I have no complaints.
1. This is a great light to be utilized if you work in law enforcement or military to conduct residential or building searches. It can be utilized in small to medium size buildings but you won't have the throw. So, if distance of your light throw is a priority then this is not the light to choose. A better option is a minimum of a 250 lumen light. This light is also efficient to use when searching ships, planes, buses or trains.
The G2 can easily and comfortably fit in your pants or shirt pocket. There are many options for functional sheaths that can be utilized on belts, tactical vests or MOLLE equipment. The LED light is bright enough to temporarily blind and disorient an assailant by impairing his night-adapted vision. This light does NOT have the ability to strobe which is an excellent feature to have in a tactical light.
2. It is a great light for an EDC kit (remember to carry extra spare batteries). If space is a consideration in your EDC bag then this light is a good fit. You can utilize a sheath to attach to Molle or PALS attachments which can be very handy. I wouldn't recommend this as a primary light as you may end up eating a lot of batteries which can get expensive - even with a 12 hour run time.
3. The G2 as sold does not come with a pointed bezel for self-defense measures. The bezel would be another worthwhile add on. Without the bezel the G2 probably could be used as an impact weapon but I would not expect too much of a result with this type of use.
4. It will work as a good addition for camping and backpacking, or an emergency disaster-preparedness kit. It is also small enough to carry for every day use.
Again, it is important to remember that flashlight technology over the last few years has been rapidly changing and advancing. Because of the ever changing environment there are many flashlight options available today. When it comes to flashlights especially in a tactical environment it is always critical to carry more than one. I prefer a tactical light that has the ability to strobe.
Overall I highly recommend the Surefire G2-LED light and have no problem carrying it as part of my gear.
 Very nice flashlight February 6, 2010
Patrick7904 (Pewaukee Wisconsin USA)
This is a real nice flashlight.
This is my 3rd one. I got one for tactical use, and really liked it. Now I have one in my truck and in my toolbelt, too.
Available in black, flat desert tan (coyote, flat dark earth), the bright yellow, and olive drab.
The yellow one is real easy to find in my truck or my toolbox. Jumps right out into your hand.
Very bright, very tough, very compact.
I love these lights.
 Very pricey flashlight February 4, 2010

Delivered on time as promised by the seller, but WOW what a price for the product! I don't see what makes the flashlight worth the price. Bought for a son who is a hiker, I wanted the "correct" equipment as a gift, but once again, $65 for a flashlight now seems even dumber after the delivery than it seemed to me before the purchase.
OK flashlight for the price November 30, 2009
Jeff A. Spain (Mpls, MN)
This was my first tactical flashlight and still the flashlight I use for EDC. It doesn't have the new LED technology, but it still puts out 60 Lumens on 2xCR123 batteries. Very small and easy to throw in a pocket. Plus it won't tear up your pockets like the flashlights with the strike bezels do.
Fenix offers lights with more functions, but I like the simple one click use of the surefires. Vey easy to use in a tactical or emergency siutation when you need light fast. If you can spend more money, I would suggest the Fenic LD20 or the Surefire 6P, I like them both.
