I see no evidence that shorting out a CR123A battery results in explosion or fire etc. It is actually quite difficult to cause such an event and these conditions are not normal when CR123A batteries are used in flashlights. Al

SureFire's range is extensive and much is interchangeable. You can buy an off-the-shelf WeaponLight or you can build your own. The price for building your own will be more but it will mean you get the variation you need. mrmeval, I'm not sure which parts you wanted to buy (?) but it is more...

I threw a proto-type M2 over my house several times a few years ago. Each time the P61 remained on. Everything was fine until I missed the lawn and hit the concrete path. The Pyrex window shattered. The P61 was still lit but the beam had defocused. SureFire increased the wall-thickness of the M2...

Lithium Manganese Dioxide (LiMnO2) 123A cells are "spiral-wound" which means they are capable of deliverying high current. They feature a PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) device, which is a resettable fuse. It is a non-linear PTC thermistor based on a thin composite of semi...

There have been several cases of non-USA made 123A batteries 'exploding' inside a flashlight. One of the causes is that the light has been activated in a confined space and over-heated. I only use 123A batteries made in the USA such as SF123A or DL123A batteries. Al

I believe what you are experiencing is the result of how 123A batteries work, and not the fault of the flashlight. My understanding is that warm batteries are better able to produce the power required to light up for the flashlight. So what you could be getting is a "false" impression of the...

I have no experience using the X200's as WeaponLights but I can show you the changes (improvements) that SureFire have made to the X200. Old version on the left & current version on the right: The Rail Guides now have three screw fixings (per Rail Guide), the spring of the Lever Latch is...

If it's not a re-badged Insight M6 it's a clone of one. There is no way it can output 120 Lumens for 60 minutes. "Picitinny-Style" - you gotta love style for secure reliable mounting of a laser. Al :D

CPF is www.candlepowerforums.com I think they mostly talk about flashlights.

I suggest that you may like to visit the "Spotlights/Lanterns/HID" on CPF - There are "HID" options that may be within the price range you find appealing

Whilst I don't know what you want to look at, nor how far away it is I can not say for certain it is what you need, but the flashlight I use for that sort of thing is the SureFire 10X. Al

Whilst the "your experience may vary - consult with the manufacturer" applies, it should be pointed out that I consider dents to be "character marks". For example - from my M3T: :D D'Oh! Note: I do not suggest you throw your flashlight over a house twice and on the third...

I agree - I have in the past successfully cleaned yellow G2 Nitrolon using warm water and washing up liquid and a nail brush. I do admit to taking out the batteries and lamp assembly and screwing it back together tight. It didn't leak at all though. Now a days with the LockOut TailCap being...

Likewise - The G2 may be the entry level model for SureFire but it opens up a whole world of options should you want more (or it can be a flashlight for your glovebox). I like my G2's in yellow so they're easier to locate! Al

I think there's "dim" and there's "dim". SureFire demands the best out of their products - the same goes for their batteries. The are designed to output the best possible output until they can't do that any longer. So you don't get a long dimming, or a yellow fade out. I can usually tell...

I'm interested to learn more about absent-minded redheads - find out what they do with the SureFires I can give them... Al :scrutiny:

Close... We have worked for them several times in the past. However, we are more specialist.

Sorry to disappoint but I'm a civi working for a testing & research lab here in the UK. I've got some friends at SureFire and I visit the SHOT Show and lend a hand on the booth. Don't judge me too harshly for considering it "fun"! I began to attempt to remove the TailCap. It woulld have made...

Sorry to follow my own post, but to contrast with the SureFires in the snow here is an A2 that was in a fire (not caused by the A2 itself) I was on the SureFire booth at SHOT Show this year when somebody showed up with it (we managed to get him a replacement A2 right there I believe). Al

One day I found my admin assistant had laminated it. A post-it note informed it was now wipe clean. Back on the topic of snow and SureFires for a moment... No harm to the 10X. I remembered to take in back inside with me (difficult to forget about a £500 flashlight!) Al
