Ok so I was just browsing around on ebay. And noticed a new "fire" from the G&P world.

SpiderFire flashlights appear to be the same as the G&P/cabellas/digilight models, but with a bit more flare, and they come with extender so they can be adjusted to the desired length/cell configuration.

I was hoping anyone who owns a G&P X9, X12, or cabellas mini-turbo, could tell me if the lamps in your flashlight looks like the lamps pictured here..

I am assuming that these are the same as the old X9 and X12, just different body style. Want to make sure.

Then there's also the non-turbo version, which appears to be again, a jazzed up design of the G&P named lights. Assuming these probably share thread compatibility with SF C series light like their basic G&P cousins. Here's a link.

I'm trying to gather some compatibility information. Trying to decode the G&P turbo lamps. Any further info would be appreciated.
 
Interesting find mdocod. I may just get one of those. I've been looking to pick up another incan. This light must produce a floody beam. A bit of a spelling mistake on the spider though.
 
Spiderfire? The body says 'Spride Fire'.

I own a G&P T12, and this light is junk. I can't imagine every buying anything else coming from g&p/digilight (theyre all the same anyway, all they do is make up idiotic names)
 
T12:
The switch internals are copied from the surefire Z57 - but even worse. it really 'feels' like junk
The light has plenty of o-rings, but some of them dont make contact
The front lens has an o-ring, but at the wrong side. At the place where it should be is no surface that could support an o-ring
 
Don't look at the new lights from Black Hawk then. The X-12 bears a strong family tie.

I have noticed a morphing of design to the NexTorch style head. I have seen this in one of the other T series lights I think on ebay.

Does the bulb screw into the reflector like it does on the p90 clone assembly? I am as confused on these lamp assemblies as many are. GP-WEB's website has not been updated for lights it seems.
