G2 vs G2LED

[A_shizzle]

Im tryin to deceide which to get.. I like that the LED has 12 hrs of runtime but i hear that the regular g2 has a more powerful beam.. ive seen a reg g2 before and it was rediculously bright. Is the LED just as bright? i hear the LED has more of a flood effect and the regular g2 has a more powerful focused light.. any expericence with these?

I own several G2L's and have noticed (at least to my eyes) that the output of the LEDs is brighter than the incandescent. There is also the benefit of a shock resistant lamp assembly when using the LED. I'm telling ya now, LEDs are the way of the future...

The standard G2 puts out 65 lumens with the standard bulb, 120 lumens with the high output bulb. The G2L puts out 80 lumens.

Just get the LED lamp, you won't be disapointed.
I have three, G2's
One with the LED head, one with the HO lamp and the other with the regular lamp which wandered off with my niece at my sisters place so I left it with her.

The output of the LED is awesome...even when compared to the HO lamp...All with fresh batteries.

Made me do some more research and also get a Fenix...

Did the lowlight class last weekend with a hand held G2Led and it was perfect for interior house clearing type work.

If this is for a weapon, get the G2L.

G2 LED vs. G2 with cree drop-in

I've replaced all but one of my G2 lamps with (inexpensive) Cree drop-in modules and I'm very pleased with them. They produce an almost insane amount of light and "throw" is easily as good or better than the original lamp.

Think of the LED conversion or the cost increase of getting a new light as an investment. The long term savings in batteries will pay for itself. Besides, it's a better light.

Where does one get one of these fancy units? Last I saw you had to order them from Japan.
