This week I got my batteries Xtar 18650. They are approximately 6.85 cm. My problem is solved.

GoingGear has a nice video review. A quick web search should be able to find it.

Yep, saw the video before I posted that. Not much on the google search. Most of the links come up for dealers that were selling it and a few videos. Other than this thread there is not a lot of info out there. I have a few other EagleTac lights and like them a lot!! Was looking for actually owners thoughts. Thanks.

I like mine. The filter holder is one of my favorite features. It's very well made and makes it quick and easy to add or remove a filter.

I've been hovering around this light since its release and have been waiting for a detailed review.
I keep reading positives from owners and now seeing what comes out of my D25LC2 my interest has definitely piqued. I keep seeing a big reflector, an extra hundred lumens and if the tint is the same.....well, oh my!
Now, I really don't need this light, my modest collection has no void this would fill. I do want it though! Sound familiar?:laughing:

Yes very much!! I also have the D25LC2 in neutral tint, very nice light! I have saw this light with the kit for a very nice price thats why I think I might get it. Like $30 less than I have ever saw it at before.

Got mine G25C2 today, and shipping it right back to the dealer. What a poor light: coating is bad, light doesn't fit in the holster when I use the filter, doesn't fit with extension, one of the filters is missing a piece. No Eagletac for me!

Really? Mine is flat out awesome! I've had it for about 2.5 months, with nary a scratch. The holster fits, but I am getting a diffuser for it in a few days, so we'll see if it still fits into the holster then. But who am I kidding, I've never used ANY of the holsters for the 10 lights I own that came with holsters! But every thing about my G25C2 is fantastic. The light is top notch in every way so far. It can run on turbo for long periods, and yet it dissipates all that heat unbelievably well. Unlike the SWM T20CS, which gets hot quick and stays hot.

Exactly my experience.
The holster has 2 snaps so you can use it either with or without the diffuser and/or the tail-stand ring.
Its a snug fit yeah, but still a fit.

I use the holster all the time. And it wouldn't close when I had the filter on. The light is nice, but the one I got, had some bad places with the coating.
The light didn't convinced me that it was a keeper

This is a great light. I have it in NW with all the extras. It blows away the Maelstrom X7 that I have. I like the many hidden modes and options. It also switches between the 4 modes so much more smoothly than the X7. The light with the diffuser on fits in the holster by using the 2nd snap. Very well thought out.

I returned a Lumapower light due to many issues, then a few people told me they had bought the same light before, but didnt have most of the problems I had, so apparently there are some QC issues with some of these Chinese companies. Thats a shocker......
But my G25C2 has been great. Although the quest I went through to get a diffuser for it seemed like something out of Lord of the Rings!

One of my favourite lights. Looks great with the flip filter assembly. Will not fit in stock holster this way though. I use the Tn11 case.
I found that with the lens assembly installed, the G25C2 fits perfectly into the holster if you guide it in with the hinge of the lens assembly facing forward, or toward the front of the holster. It slides in and out without binding and the flap can be closed and secured using the top snap with room to spare. Of course there's always potential for size variances in the construction of the holster.
Note: I prefer to always keep the rubber tailstand accessory on the light, however when not in use for that purpose, I simply install it upside-down. Doing so serves three purposes for me, it's always available when I need it, it improves my overhand grip, and it allows the holster flap to close as previously described.

As per my experience. I have no problems with the supplied holster. Just need to angle it according to the post above.
FYI, my full review of this light is now up:

Got this light a couple days ago and used it a bit. Really like this light and the sheath seems like good quality but I do not like the head down style as that usually makes the sheath larger. Anyone have any experience with another sheath with the G25C2 that keeps it head up?
Of all the brands out there, two of my favorite for you to consider, that I know have models that will accommodate the G25C2 in a "bezel-up" orientation, are Ripoffs and Maxpedition.
The Maxpedition model that I prefer due to its ability to be adjusted to a variety of lights and its incredible ruggedness is the UFBS, Since it's also an open bottom design, you can use your G25C2 in a 2x 18650 configuration. It can be attached to your belt either vertically or horizontally, and the top flap can be removed for quick deployment.
Ripoffs have a few models that will work very well depending on your preferences, including the CO-34, CO-60, CO-86, CO-130, and CO-188. The Ripoffs belt clip is one of the better designs on the market, and the sheaths are constructed with either an extremely tough, poly web, or durable padded packcloth nylon. Some models like the CO-86 and CO-130 have an extra pocket that you could keep the G25C2's extension battery tubes, or extra batteries, or a multi-tool, etc. If a minimalist design is the goal, then I would look to the CO-34 or CO-60. Best wishes!
Hi guys!
My firs post here been following the tread on G25c2 and finally ordered one. Just a quick question. Do anyone have any experience with a charger I bought with it. It is a Nitecore intellicharger 4. Thoce CR123 can get quite expensive.. thats the reason I avoid lights that uses them for quite a long time. But this time i decided to buy one. Hope it was a good choice. Same with the charger... Any experience would be appreciated.
