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

[Dr. Strangelove]

Re: Surefire Fury

The main reason SureFire ever went from Lexan to tempered glass is because the window was susceptible to 'melting' damage from the high temperatures generated from the high-output incandescents. Given this isn't an issue with LEDs the reasons not to use polycarbonate are less clear cut.

Your'e right, polycarbonate is less likely to break than glass so it is superior in that regard. And SureFire glass is 4-5mm thick, my guess is for strength (I'm talking about the pyrex lenses, not TIR optics). But the polycarbonate lens used in the 6PX and G2X scratches very easily. I scratched one of mine badly when I wasn't thinking and cleaned it with a paper towel. Won't do that again...

Clicky UI...
IMO 15/500 lm should be used 2 stage twisties, and why the heck lexan lens?! Pyrex looks like tougher!
**Pre-order and expected in mid Dec** <-- Even the old cat LX1 isnt out

By using existing current model X-type handhelds and adapting the bezel it looks like SureFire are able to bring it to market far more quickly compared to modifying any of the two-stage platforms.

The LX1 is shelved with effectively no hope of production. Has been so for ages

Re: Surefire Fury

Surefire kept secret about this new "Fury" and it even didn´t appear in their last catalog, and here it is: a brand new Surefire model...

That´s why I still believe in the LX1!

Maybe I´ll change my signature: "I still believe in SF LX1!!"

Edit: Ops... I read now about Al´s statement about LX1... Well, I still have hope. Or faith. Something like that...

That is an improvement on previous occasions when they have announced new products and later cancelled them.

True.

Well, maybe they are unpredictable.

Re: Surefire Fury

OMG I was OK with the lights that I have and now this. I'm going to have to order me one. My next SF was going to be the Lawman if it ever comes out.

It definately looks like the Stratum and the G2D-S-BK

Re: Surefire Fury

I want to compare this to other recent offerings from other manufacturers but I don't feel it's appropriate based on the traditional Surefire target consumer... but... If Surefire would get an IPX8 water resistant rating (which they probably could do easily) and allow some 18650s they would probably snag a huge market segment with this light.

Re: Surefire Fury

I'm wondering about it's compatibility with RCR123, 17670, or 18650's. Would really be nice if it were to produce the same output no matter what cells are used......
Kinda like the Quark X123x2, same outputs regardless of running on one cel or two. That's a big deal!!!!
Most of my Surefire's produce less lumens when run on a single LI ion vs two 123's.
I guess we'll see when they finally arrive.

Impossible for 18650,
SF intended to let people using CR123a lithium only
IPX8, well actually the lights are capable of it but due to surefire's warranty policy, it would be an expensive bill for them to pay for water-damage

Re: Surefire Fury

Oh man. I've really been wanting a "wow" light for a while now. I also wanted to buy something made in the U.S. At a $155, this Surefire will be hard to resist! I can't wait to see reviews and beam shots!

Re: Surefire Fury

IIRC, Lawman is a rechargeable model.

Re: Surefire Fury

I think I might have to get one of these...

Re: Surefire Fury

Woh! I think Im starting to like SF again!

One Q though...Can you put the the Fury head, or 6PX, on a G2X body??

Isnt likely to
6PX is a one-pieced body
And Fury too
