The SureFire P2X-B "Fury" 500lu flashlight thread

[Novan3]

The 500 lumen mode is nice but it's a juice hog.

[Toohotruk]

now I'm quite curious.
who are you? you seem to have a bit more insider access than most.

no, but looking into it a bit more I have a feeling we've met one way or another.

Would a regular 6P cell extender fit this light? My friend wants to ad some length to the light by adding a one cell extender with a dummy cell. Would this work??
If a standard 6P tailcap would fit the light, the extender would fit to?

Thanks!

No need for a dummy cell, 2x17500 (max 8.4V) and probably 3xCR123 (~9V) should work just fine based on the positive reports of using 2x16340 (max 8.4V).

And I think I remember a tailcap lego pic so as you say if tailcaps fit an extender should fit, too.

Hey all, first post, unfortunately it has to be a negative one, but I figured I better share this: Just got my Fury after waiting about a month on back order, I was working on a hot water heater when my brand new light rolled off the top and landed on the concrete floor (maybe 4 foot fall) and now it has a nice crack in the glass. So now my new Fury is already headed to the shop after less than 24 hours of play time. I've dropped plenty of Surefire's from much higher, never had an issue before, I'm hoping I just got a defective lens and this isn't some oversight in the changeover from plastic to glass

SN A96814 for those keeping track of changeover.

And thanks for the awesome treasure trove of photon knowledge by the way!

If working on plumbing, or anything, why not use headlite and have both hands free?

[Robin24k]

Really? Not sure where we might have met before...

[FlashSpyJ]

The reason he wants to ad an extender is because he wants "more" flashlight to hold on to. He don´t like two cells lights...He will be carrying the light at work, he are currently using the M3 which he thinks are a good length... But wants a little more output and a low and a high. My thought would be that a Fury would fit the bill perfectly if he could ad an extender to get some more length to it...

SureFire.

Funny. I spoke to SureFire customer service; the rep I talked to claimed the rechargeable batteries in their 2012 catalog are only shown as an "idea" for a new product. She also said as far as she knew, there was no prototype or mock-up even made, let alone sent out for review.

[Robin24k]

Customer service is not always the most informed, so I would take that with a grain of salt. Since you also seem to take my word with a grain of salt, we can just wait a couple weeks and see what pops up on SureFire's website.

We've sure been down this road a few times before. A lot of us are hoping the recent changes to pricing, suddenly introduced new models like the Fury and other signs of change mean that SF is not up to its old tricks of dangling tantalizing vaporware in front of the unwashed masses.

All of the traditional excuses about how PK is a genius - he can't be rushed, we're not the target market, SF has bigger fish to fry, just because it's in the catalog doesn't mean they'll actually ship it etc., wear thin after a while. Can you imagine if Apple announced several new products these days and then failed to produce them? I realize SF is not Apple but if they are sincere about going after the consumer market, they need to be more responsible about what they advertise to the customer in my opinion.

Like a lot of other folks here, I'll certainly continue to buy many of the new SF models when they come out. If they come out.

OK Robin, hope you are right and SF delivers whether or not they put them on the website!

[FlashSpyJ]

Could someone please try if a cell extender fits this light??

I didn't take your word "with a grain of salt"; I just spoke to SureFire before you replied to my post.

I don't have a Fury but I just tried it with my G2X. A cell extender fits and the tailcap works properly. The current draw on high with 9v. is a couple hundred mA less that it is with 6v., indicating that the light is OK for use with 9v.

[arcane]

SF has had my Fury for a week now for repair/replacement...
They're only 30mi away from me. I feel like going there and asking what's taking them so long.

And yes an extender does fit. The tailcaps on the Fury and G2X are interchangeable with Z41 tailcaps.

[FlashSpyJ]

Hmm..

I´m not after to run the light with anything other than two standard batteries...I just want to know if an extender would fit since I want to ad some length to the light!

[Glock 22]

Your looking at about three weeks to a month. Or you may get yours quicker. That's how long mine took to get back to me, but it was worth the wait.

Head-on collision with lens, SureFire becomes Surely-dead Fire, like all glassware.

got my Fury back today! domed lens on the emitter is flawless.
SF had it for 8 business days.

[Glock 22]

Glad to hear you got yours back so fast, ended up a good turn around for you after all.

[walternash]

I just got my Fury thru Brightguy. Low price and rapid delivery.

I also have an E1b Backup. I prefer the higher power coming on first. The on/off button on the Fury has a longer throw and more resistance that the Backup, making it less convenient to use.

Powerful little devil, though.

[JasonC8301]

I just got mine today, awaiting darkness.

[FlashSpyJ]

Last try guys...

So a standard 1" extender won't fit this light??

[Helmut.G]

Hey FlashSpyJ, look at post #677, another confirmation that it will fit.

If you're not confident get a solarforce extender, they are like 5 bucks, look cheap, work ok, not much lost if it wouldn't fit.

[FlashSpyJ]

Doh! I did'n see that...

Thanks!

[Litbobber]

Hi all,

Anyone know where to get a lanyard or a pocketclip for the fury?

Thanks

[Tana]

Malkoff now offers stainless steel pocket clips that can fit Fury, among swarms of other P/C/M/D/MD/etc series...

[jh333233]

Hi all,

Anyone know where to get a lanyard or a pocketclip for the fury?

Thanks

Surefire has factory lanyard for P-tailcapped light
For the clip, you must seek a 3rd party manufacturer

[Glock 22]

The Dark Sucks pocket clip works perfect on the Fury. I have one and you can also use a lanyard if you want to. I believe its what your looking for. PM sent.

I know they are backordered at BJ but I was able to find it online at Nalpak for $108.50 and if you use code "sureship" you will get discounted shipping. I order it yesterday and they were able to ship it out yesterday as well so it seems like they are on top of their stuff over there. I should have mine tomorrow and then I can post my thoughts on the light after I play with it.

Anyone know if this light is available in Canada, or a seller who can ship it here at a reasonable cost?
