    Surefire P2X Fury? Anybody Excited?

    Is anyone excited yet? Because on paper, to me, they seem like the perfect tactical light.

    500 lumens for about $155 bucks? I mean come on! Not to mention its made by Surefire!

    Lets do a little checklist shall we?

    TON of lumens? check

    Dual output? check

    Good runtime? check

    Light weight? check

    Interchangeable batteries with pistol lights? check

    GREAT price? check

    Made by surefire? check

    Is it just me or is there a whole lot to love?

    Please remove if a thread for the light already exists. My search didn't turn up anything.

    That strikes me as too much light. Shoot... if I turn on my plain old Solarforce in the middle of the night, the light splash nearly knocks me down.

    I could see it as a good light to use on a traffic stop or search & rescue type ops. I dont know if I'd want 500 lumens in a dark building .

    Its not too much light. I used my Fury to good effect on a suspect hiding in the back sleeping are of a Semi truck. The light blinded the shit out of him and he complied with my commands and I could see everything in the sleeper area like it was day light. The one thing I don't like on this light is that I have to double tap to get it to 500 lums. I could do without the low setting entirely personally.

    Is good to see that you and docholliday01 do use the flashlight. I wanna get it but have to do it behind the wifey lol. What about battery. How long it last for you.

    The sites that have it for sale are just for pre-order.

    I first heard about it here.

    I simply upgraded my C2 Centurion. I ordered a Cree XML 520 lumen lamp and an 18650 Li-Ion rechargeable battery kit from LumaForce. Cost me $64 and a 6 pack of Corona to have a friend with a lathe open up the i.d. of the C2 body to accept the 18650. I now have a 520 lumen rechargeable flashlight that will fit in my pocket. I really appreciate the extra spill from this lamp when searching dark areas. It will light up an entire room!

    It's an interesting light, and at a good price.

    I don't know if it's ideal though as to output, and some of the dual mode switches on the newer Surefires are cumbersome.

    If your eyes are adjusted for dark, 200 lumens is almost painful.

    I see this having a use for a day shift light. Something if you were outside in sunlight, and went into a dark house or building, the light would be a good balance.

    As for weapon lights, for use mounted on a blaster I like the tight focus of the X300s and the Scout.

    More isn't always better...

    500 lumens is NOT too much light inside given a decent beam pattern and proper usage.

    Looks like SF put an XM-L LED in a decently big reflector and hopefully the levels are controlled by loosening/tightening the bezel.

    SF is finally starting to compete, now let's see if they can get into the rechargeable game as well.

    Doh! Just checked and a couple websites say that the levels are controlled by clicking on/off... Geez, even the chinky tac lights moved away from that years ago!
