G2Z combatlight with MaxVision

[WarriorOfLight]

The G2Z-MV arrived, nice light. If someone would like to see some pictures. I have here an german short review:

Unfortunately the body and the head is glued :(. Has someone experience on separating both parts. I have not tried it with too much force, because I will not damage the thread of the nitrolon tube.

Glue is typical on SF nitrolon heads bonded to aluminum bodies, but compared to their all-aluminum lights, the ones with nitrolon bodies seem easier to remove.
I suppose the adhesive sticks better to aluminum.

Hopefully one of the guys here can try if it can be converted to two-mode version.

That would be awesome for most of us who don't need a single mode only light for tactical use.

You can guess why I would like to remove the head & body. The electronic looks like the P2X Fury electronic. At least the PCB that is visible when I look into the battery tube (when the CR123s are removed).

I can see the conductor path is manually interrupted. Therefore I guess "repairing" this will create a cool 2 level light. THis is at least my hope. But at first I need to separate body and head.

Anyone an idea on how to separate the head and Body without damaging the light?

Somebody help this man! We need a G2Z with 2 levels!

Some here have had luck with a heat gun to soften the adhesive on the threads, then using strap wrenches or strips of rubber rolled around the head and body for a good grip.

Not too much heat, just enough to break the bond.

Paid $98.10 shipped, last night. I will test the output on a 16650 vs the 123s w/ my light meter.

A couple of questions, of course:

1. With batteries or without?
2. Where from?

 

[JohnnyBravo]

I posted new information 3 posts after that first one. I don't recall the dealer now. Just that it appeared to be in stock when I ordered it; but after the order was complete, my email from them indicated that it would not ship until the end of May at the earliest, so I canceled it. It would have shipped with batteries though.

I have just bought one today. It is small and fits in my hand perfectly. The fit and finish are great, and the LED is smack in the centre. I will post pics as soon as I'm in a position to do so.

Why is there hardly any reviews or posts on this light?

Photo bucket not working for all the reasons I'm sure you're all aware of. I will get phot on here if it kills me.

Wow that thing is tiny... not e head and or tail is it?

much smaller than I thought

 

[Welfare]

Nope that is absolutely stock, it really feels solid. The head is aluminium with a nitrolon body, and the lens almost feels like the Elzettas solid acrylic set up (I know it's not). I am really happy with it at the moment. I have lots of photos but imgur is way to complicated for me at the moment. I am happy to take any tips.

I use https://postimages.org/. It is way more comfortable.

What might you say about its tint?

 

[Welfare]

It is appears to be slightly cooler than my Fury but not by much. Because of the amount of flood it is easy on my eyes.

There is no hot spot at all, and I would say the usable throw is about 70m which is sufficient for this nature of light. I bought this to compliment my other Surefire and Malkoff throwers and its compact size is still making me smile.

No i mean the threading for the head and tail is still 6p size right, not small like executive sized heads? It's just looks so much smaller, I want to make sure.

Well, the question would be: having Elzetta B343 (flood lens) do I need this one? :)
