Sure Fire G2?

[John_Wayne777]

In my experience the push button is better than click on in this role -- and second having used a G2 on my carbine in Iraq over the last year - I dont think the shock bezel is needed a 5.56mm gun.

Lots of guys are running the exact same setup on their carbines without a SI bezel and are similarly satisfied.

Vickers' carbine used a standard G2 in a basic mount on his carbine. His seemed to work pretty good to me....

Sticking with the incandescent because of lumens. Period. The LED is less than 1/2 of the incandescent in Lumens. I already went from a 9V to a 6V for weight purposes. That's all the lumen power I want to sacrifice.

Are you sure you are looking at the right thing? Everything I've seen says the newer generation of Cree based LED lights put out more lumens than the incandescent ones.

For those looking for an economically priced LED conversion for their G2/6P/etc. lights that you already have, check these out:

I've been using them in my G2Z and 6Z combat lights without issue for several months now. They use Cree LEDs and are significantly brighter with a tighter hotspot.

They survived the low light course just fine.

For long guns (less they are a dedicated CQB AR), I do not like LED's. The SF G2 is a fantastic little light, but I like to make two upgrades to it. I would put a Z32 Shock isolated bezel on it and upgrade the bulb to the Lumens Factory HO-6.

Grant, is SureFire still making the Z32 bezel? I didn't see it when I surfed into the SureFire website the other day to check which models it fits.

Also (slightly off-topic), is the Lumens Factory HO-E2A the proper fit for the SureFire E2D?

Yes, they still make them. They are on back order though. Most of the really cool parts that SF makes are NOT listed on their website.

The HO-E2A will fit the E2D (is what I run).

Same as a G2, just more power. A shock isolated bezel is never a bad idea.

good deal.

so the same mounts and such(as G2) would work as well?

Does anyone make a pocket clip of some kind that will fit a G2?

I've been carrying a Pelican PM6 3320 in my pocket (a G2 is on my belt), but the clip holds it with the push button down inside of my pocket. Sometimes when I sit or kneel, it turns the light "on." It happened in church on Sunday, and in addition to the burning sensation and embarrassment, it wastes batteries.

A pocket clip that would carry a G2 bezel-downward would be great!
