I NEED YOUR ADVICE

[MCJAG4402]

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]Okay, I'm currently working as a security guard and I'm Marine headed to TBS in the next year or so. I need to get a good flashlight to use at work, carry with me daily, and use at TBS. I've narrowed it down to the Surefire G2 LED or the Pentagon L2 LED. Here's a quick comparison:

Price: G2 - $65 (Surefire's website); L2 - I've found it for $70

Lumens: G2 - max of 80; L2 - max of 85

Runtime: G2 - peak unknown/ 12 hours usable; L2 - 90 min. peak/ 3-5 hours usable

Material: G2 - Nitrolon ; L2 - Aerospace-grade aluminum w/ Mil-Spec III Hard Anodized Exterior

Length: G2 - 5.14" ; L2 - 5.5"

Weight: G2 - 4.10 oz ; L2 - 5.4 oz

Sealing: G2 - O-ring sealed ; L2 - Double O-ring sealed

Tail Cap: G2 - press for momentary on, twist for constant-on, can be locked out; L2 - Push lightly for on, click for constant-on, can be locked out

Pocket Clip: G2 - no; L2 - yes, removable

Anyone have any experience with either of these? Any big advantages of one over the other? Any further insight would be greatly appreciated. [/FONT]

The surefire G2 is very lightweight...and seems indestructible. I like mine a lot. I put in my own cree drop in...but the surefire cree will probably be better. I can also use a single 17650 li-ion rechargeable battery with mine. Don't know if the surefire version will take it too. The Wolf eye will be twice as heavy..but that can be good. The heat from the led will dissipate better, not that its a problem with either light, but my G2 does get warm after 30 minutes on time. THe wolf eyes will also probable be a little brighter, and if you get the version with the 4 brightness levels, you'll be able to get a very long runtime or high power. Overall, the Wolfeyes with the 4 mode cree is probably better for a somone with a single light. I have the wolf eye, but not the cree drop in yet. Both great lights.

Among those two choices, I'd go with the Surefire.
