G2 nitrolon

[jcs71]

Will the head off of a G2Z fit securely on a standard G2? The reason I ask is I would like to have a pyrex lens on my G2 instead of a lexan. Thank you.

 

[Cypher]

Yes.

The P/G/C/D/Z series lights are all compatible, hence the term Surefire lego.

Awesome. That is good news. I have been thinking of a lego Sf. Thanks for the reply. Now if I could finish LEGO Indiana Jones I would be on a role. Ha ha. Alright bad joke.

So your G2 bezel is of the style that doesn't have the screwed-in retaining ring for the Lexan window? If it does use the threaded retaining ring, then you can easily swap out the Lexan window for a UCL AR-coated glass window obtainable from flashlightlens.com

Dumb question - where do I get an extra threaded retaining ring?

(I've just got a G2 nitrolon with one-and-a-half heads, and a UCL glass from B/S/T. And I really like the standard head, but have no ring for it.)

Won't be easy to find. At least it wasn't for me. I had 2 ask around.

Drat.

Because I also have a nice little double-convex lens that focuses the G2 into a firestarting hotspot...

 

[Sgt. LED]

I'd love to own that lens!!! Wanna sell it? At least let me know where it came from!

 

[lctorana]

No. Not telling.

Ring first.

That's the deal.

I just need to figure the proper Fl. :thinking:

25mm Fl ought to work out, but the 29mm is a reasonable length as well.
