Bought a new Surefire G2X Pro today

I have the Surefire G2 Nitrolon LED at 80 lumens I bought two seasons ago from Cabelas.
http://www.cabelas.com/product/Suref...hts/734443.uts

In the new Fall issue of Overland Journal on page 21 is a new Surefire called the 6PX Pro and G2X Pro LED lights.
Dual output lets you select from 200 lumens down to 15 lumens.
The 6PX has an aluminum body, where the G2X Pro has a polymer one.

The output on these two new ones is almost triple what my current Surefire is.
One can never have to many flashlights, I must have thirty or more dating back several years including headlamps.

6PX™ Pro
Dual-Output LED




Features

* Virtually indestructible LED emitter regulated to maximize light output and runtime
* Two output levels—high for maximum light, low for extended runtime
* Precision micro-textured reflector creates smooth, optimized beam
* Tough polycarbonate window resists impact
* High-strength aerospace aluminum body, Mil-Spec hard-anodized for extreme durability
* Dual-output tailcap click switch—press for momentary-on low, click for constant-on low, return to off then press or click again for high
* Weatherproof—O-ring and gasket sealed
* Includes high-energy 123A batteries with 10-year shelf life

Here is a good source too for getting the 123 batteries for these lights.
Amazon.com: Surefire Batteries: Electronics

The light should show up before the end of the week, and when I get time, I will shoot some comparison pictures and a video between my old one of 80 lumens verses the new one at 200 lumens.

My current one though at 80 lumens is very bright.

That is a very good price for the light output.
I paid more for my 80 lumen one a few years back.

My single output Pro has been on the front of my AR now for 2-2500 rounds downrange. Works as good as new. I have other Surefire lights, they just keep on tickin. It's the brand I'd trust my life to.
