Flashlights come in handy when you have an unexpected power cut or need to find that tricky screw that disappeared under the couch. But they can be so much more than that. This is demonstrated aptly by SureFire’s range of tactical flashlights. Other than the core function of illuminating, many of SureFire’s lights can be used to temporarily blind and overwhelm an attacker or hit him in a close combat situation. They come with SOS signaling mechanisms and are designed to be light-weight and small enough to be used as mounts on guns, bikes and headlights. Here are some of the best SureFire flashlights for you to pick from:
SureFire E2D Defender
This light is positioned as a tough personal defense light. This is a dual output LED light with 500 lumens on maximum which can blind an attacker and 5 lumens on minimum for extended runtime. The hard anodized aerospace aluminum body is built for impact resistance and the steel ‘teeth’ or strike bezel can be used as a weapon in a close attack situation. Twist the tail cap anticlockwise to lock out and the switch on the tail cap can be used to shift between the high and low modes. The light is affixed with a two way pocket clip. It has a good texture grip that won’t slip when wet. It’s lightweight at 42 ounces and easy to carry around. The flipside is that you can’t use rechargeables with it and no strobe mode which leaves it incomplete in the tactical department.
SureFire G2X Pro
Fitted with a virtually indestructible LED emitter (because there is no filament to burnout), this is also a dual output light with 350 lumens for high maximum light and 15 lumens for low extended runtime, all of which can be done with a click of the tail cap switch. It has a tough nitrolon body (different from some of the others in the category) and an anodized aluminum bezel can come handy for self-defense. The package comes with two Li-ion batteries. Though the beam is not adjustable, the micro-texture reflector creates a smooth, optimized beam. A good feature to have would be the high intensity light coming on with the first click which would make it apt for tactical situations but with practice, one can learn to work through the kinks.
Surefire G2X Tactical Single Output
This tactical single output flashlight has 320 lumens illumination that can last for 2 hours on a full battery. In a way, the single output simplifies this flashlight making it easy to use with a perfectly focused beam. Its powerful polymer body is specially built for tactical use and can withstand the shock even from a shotgun. Most law enforcement professionals vouch by this product and its customer service. The beam is powerful enough to leave one blinded for several minutes even without the strobe feature. It is one of the best lights you can carry around in your pocket which will come handy in most situations.
Surefire 6PX Pro
This dual power LED light can remain on a high 320 lumen for 2 hours with two CR123A batteries and 15 lumen on low output. Because of this the beam output is just right. The high beam is good enough to temporarily blind an attacker without causing problem to the user and the low beam works great for other outdoor tasks like reading a map or doing chores around the camp. During tactical situations, this feature is likely to come handy as you can go from low to high very quickly without any of the intermediately press button modes. Like other flashlights, if you need it to be your best friend in darkness, you’ll have to practice with it as much as you can in real life situations. Typically, the tail cap only switch keeps operation simple but it is good to have a go at it and know it well so that you can use it without much thought during an emergency.
SureFire P1R Rechargeable Peacekeeper
The ‘peacekeeper’ name tag added to this flashlight denotes the fact that this was primarily developed for law enforcement officers who patrol the streets. This dual output LED flashlight power packs 600 lumens on the high and 15 lumens on the low. You can move between the modes with a click-type tail cap switch which makes it ideal for use with a handgun. Its rugged body made of aerospace aluminum with Mil-spec hard anodizing gives it strength and durability. The package includes 18650 Li-ion batteries, an AC charger and a DC car charger. Alternatively you can also use disposable 123A lithium batteries. This makes it a good tactical flashlight that works great for non-tactical situations too.
Despite their price, most people go for SureFire because they trust the built and quality. The brand has, over the years, created flashlights that are widely used in by law enforcement personal, government agencies and ground army forces alike. This makes it very reliable and in-demand by others who want a flash light for self-defense purpose. The best SureFire flashlights are created to be compact, lightweight, durable and effective in tactical situations. When choosing one, consider its ease of use. Tactical situations often demand you to act within seconds so go for one that doesn’t make usage very complex but creates enough light for you to escape in time.
