SureFire G2L-FYL Fire Rescue LED Flashlight

SureFire’s G2 flashlight has been the perennial favorite here at the office – tough, bright, relatively inexpensive, and with 10 years of battery shelf life, reliable.  When SureFire upgraded the G2 by adding a LED bulb (creating the G2L) we cheered – an even brighter flashlight, with even better runtime, for not much more money.  Now they’ve raised the bar again with the G2L-FYL Fire Rescue, designed for… well… Fire & Rescue work.

The G2L-FYL Fire Rescue is a compact high-output flashlight designed for firefighters, paramedics, and other first-responders. It features a body made of tough, corrosion-proof Nitrolon® polymer and a hard-anodized aluminum bezel and tailcap click switch. The G2L-FYL uses a virtually indestructible power-regulated LED and precision micro-textured reflector to produce a smooth, brilliant 80-lumen beam with four times the light output of a typical two-D-cell flashlight. The pushbutton tailcap click switch provides secure, ergonomic activation control: press for momentary-on, press further to click constant-on. It includes a diffuser kit providing three beam options—narrow for search and rescue, wider for area illumination and close work. It is MIL-STD-810 rated, which includes testing safe in most potentially explosive atmospheres. Its fluorescent yellow color and included reflective body stickers make the G2L-FYL Fire Rescue easy to find in dark or smoky conditions.

So what separates this from the standard G2L?  Two tone high visibility yellow & black body.  Beam diffusers to spread out the cone-of-light.  An extra long, high visibility lanyard.  And high visibility tape that can be added to the body of the light itself, making it easy to spot if dropped.  Only $85.

Added pics and specs to eGear KL2 Focus Control Plus Headlamp

We’ve added a new headlamp to the product mix here, and after several months of testing I’m pretty impressed!

From eGear:

Revolutionary Focus Control LED Illumination feature provides hands-on control of the focal range enabling the user to blaze up the illumination target from a focused beam to a flood mode.

In the past, I’ve never been a huge fan of headlamps – often the light wasn’t bright enough, or it didn’t offer enough options, or something else bothered me.  The K2 Focus Control Plus completely changed my mind.
