    Streamlight Scorpion Mods?

    There are a few that I know of. The surefire LED heads for the E series I believe may fit the scorp. Do a search of the old archives for E series compatibility. The only problem with purchasing surefire LED heads is you end up wanting more.

    SF KL4 No Longer listed..getting update to KL4A?

    Just noticed that the Surefire KL4 is no longer listed under Accessories. Did I miss another thread or is this a new development? I am suspecting that the KL4 is getting an update; KL4 --> KL4A? Perhaps being changed to a high output Cree? (there are experts out there that know way more than I...

    New E2L worth the $$$?

    Take a look at a G2L. Great output, my guess even better than your mod.

    SureFire 6P Over Clones- I'm a Believer

    My first SF was a 6P; I was instantly converted having been a gaglight collector, and believing a few other plastic "must be good" lights were indeed good. Right now I have three plastic lights sitting on my dresser the kids placed there because they need service. My SF's get the once over...

    Surefire G2 vs G3 LED

    Great question! The 12 hours for the G2L is total time (regulated+drop off=total). The G2L is in the area of 3 to 4 hours regulated then drops off, with the drop off counted. (unfair and inflated rate we all know) The G3L is 5.8 hours regulated then drops off.

    Re: Release of surefire p60l, KX2, KX1 >>ARRIVED<< Look up the P60L and you will see that they market it for the 6P, G2, D2, G3, 9P, C3 and perhaps a few others I missed. This is great news! you can move it from 2 cell lights to 3 cell lights. Oh, in a 3-cell light, you get almost 6 hours of...

    lubing orings under your lens/window?

    Pre-clean oring and window with isopropyl alcohol & Q-tips until prefectly clean. let dry. Place a TINY bit of lube on clean fingers and gently pull the (pre-cleaned!!) o-ring through it. Wipe excess with paper towel. This is where using it sparingly is best. Install oring, and wipe up any...

    Scorpion .........lumens

    To respectfully add to Size 15's post; The numbers from Flashlight reviews can be roughly interpreted such that if: -the overall and throw numbers are the same or close, the beam may be flood like with likely no central hotspot -the throw (throw="hotspot") number is in the order of 1.5x the...

    Weekend in Muskoka, Ontario, finally got to use my lights

    Hey Randy, Been doin' church youth stuff for far too long. Ever been to the PAOC Eastern district Youth Convention in Kingston? I was the convention medic for 20+ years. Was up at cottage on Six Mile Lake (30 miles north of Orillia) last week and I used: Surefire Outdoorsman (E2O-HA) for...

    Incan vs LED?

    I agree with Mdocod. LED's are a rapidly evolving technology that can also be controlled by electronics giving more features, run time, etc.. Incans suffer from runtime compared to LED's. The size/weight/performance ratios are getting better all the time with the evolving LED's and are...

    Streamlight Strion/Surefire 6p

    I too have been wrestling with this issue; e2e or strion. In Canada the L-ION batt's are a little tougher to get. I have a streamlight TL-2 and I too dislike the tailcap. If I edc it, and it gets jammed into a pocket with other stuff, it can come on. Most of the tactical streamlights have this...

    L4 vs. Strion for an EMT

    I gave a good friend a streamlight TL-2 a few years back and he loves it. Converted him over from gaglite. The ultimate "scene light". He now uses the cheap Brinkman Maxfire (2 x123 incan) because he lost the TL-2 until he returned to the scene, and it scared him to loose a rather expensive...
