Hi guys,
I'm looking for a light to mount to my helmet and because my current E2e has served me well (literally saved my dog), I thinking on staying with Surefire for my next purchase.
Here's the catch: The helmet mount will only accept a 6P/G2/9P/G3 form factor (width).
I was thinking on going with a G2/G3 (much lighter) then upgrading it to a higher output LED head, but after a bit of reading, it appears that because the material is Nitrolon, there'll be problems if the light is left on for an extended period of time. I suppose being in a hot and smokey environment won't help it, too. :candle:
Is the run time situation still a problem with the Nitrolon lights? Didn't SF switch to aluminum heads, though?
Thanks~
Brian
