Here may be of some interest. I tried this with two separate AW 17670 Protected Rechargeables that was charged in my Pila charger. The first battery ran for 43 minutes before cutting dead off. The second battery ran for 45 minutes before cutting dead off. I also took lux readings at so many minutes apart before they shut off, if anybody wants those readings just let me know and I'll post them. This is what I'm going to run in my fury, it may save a few buck in the long run on buying batteries.
I have a fury that will not consistently change from low to high mode. At times it takes two or three presses to achieve high. At the new reduced price I have decided to get a second fury. I now have outstanding orders with both Battery Junction and Brighguy. Brightguy are claiming 10 days delivery whereas Battery Junction are in the order of 4 weeks.
Were the lux readings with the 17670 the same as with the primaries?
Do you think that there is enough material to bore it to fit an 18650?
I would definitely buy one if I could run a 3100mAh 18650. Imagine the runtime.

thought the same thing was happening with mine. turns out it just needs a very fast double click to change modes. I like this because unintentional mode changes are less likely.[/
It's when I first use the flashlight that I have the problem even with an aggressive double click. Once it's been running for a while it is usually fine. You are right about the fury requiring a fast double click. This is quite different to the other Surefires that I have acquired in the last two months.
I emailed Surefire about the problem but to date no response. The switching is not a huge issue and in all other respects it's an awesome flashlight. At the new reduced price I couldn't resist buying another.
New Surefire LED prefer having the bezel glued to the body so as far as i know, it is a noTo the Fury Owners:
Will these flashlights accept drop in upgrades like the 6Ps? As I understand it the new 6PX series still accepts the same drop ins so I am wondering if I purchase a Fury will I be able to use the light to host other LED drop ins when flashlights reach 1000 lumens or 2000 lumens on this size package or perhaps the same lumens but with a smaller LED so there is better throw?
I do not have a 6P but I was thinking about getting the 6PX since they are only about $80 now and they can accept drop ins making them useful for years to come.
From what I read in GoingGear's newsletter, this is an across-the-board price restructure by SureFire, announced at the recent SHOT show; not a temporary or "sale" price. I wonder if it was due to a lack of sales because of the exorbitant prices originally charged for their latest models.Does any one know how long will the price decrease will last for the G2x pro and Fury?
