Which one: G2L or G2 with CREE drop in ?

[clipse]

I got my G2L today and I have to admit, depsite the slightly purplish tint, I really like it. I was expecting dimmer but it really performs well. I'll see how long these batteries last before I fall completely in love with it.

This light as bright as my Streamlight Scorpion (incan version). So, I'm thrilled.

I agree with clipse. I've had my G2L for a few days and it has a pleasing beam and brighter than I expected. The tint does tend toward purplish but not obnoxiously. I was going to put this in the wife's car but maybe it needs to stay in mine for awhile. This my first SureFire and I really like the form factor and feel.

Just received my G2L, it is really my first SureFire in life!!! Gosh! it is as good as what all you guys mentioned above. :twothumbs

Now I am going to try SF P60 incan bulb, cheap G&P bulb.

I am going to play around like mad for a while. :laughing:

If you're playing around - I suggest you get a P61 and a box of SureFire SF123 batteries - if you want to be sensible use the P60L LED. For fun I still enjoying using the P61.

Is P61 Incan ? How much voltage does it take? How is G&P 9V incan bulb?

Yes, the P61 is SureFire's incandescent High Output Lamp Assembly for two-SF123A powered standard-series lights (6P/G2/M2/C2 etc etc) (You can also use Duracell DL123A batteries or other quality CR123A batteries made in the USA)

Hi Size15
Can I use P90 instead of P61? Would it harm to G2 lens?

Firstly, the P90 is powered by three-SF123A batteries and so is not suitable for the G2 (the P90 comes with the G3 though).

Secondly, the G2's window is Lexan (polycarbonate) and so excessive heat build-up can result in damage to the Lexan (warp, 'melt', deform etc). If you intended to use a high output lamp (greater than 100 lumens) for any period of time then a Pyrex (glass) window would seem to make more sense.
The G2Z and G3 Nitrolon bezels feature Pyrex windows.
