Description
G2LF-FYL KIT02
The G2L Fire Rescue Helmet Mount Kit consists of a high-output, compact LED flashlight and a sturdy, easy-to-install Blackjack mount designed to securely attach to most firefighter helmets via two set screws for hands-free illumination. This light/mounting kit was developed for firefighters, paramedics, EMS personnel, and other emergency first-responders. The light is MIL-STD-810 rated safe for use in an explosive atmosphere. It features a body made of tough, corrosion-proof Nitrolon® polymer and an aerospace aluminum bezel and tailcap. The pushbutton tailcap switch provides secure, ergonomic control, even when mounted to a helmet: press for momentary-on; press further to click constant-on. It uses a virtually indestructible power-regulated LED and precision micro-textured reflector to produce a smooth, brilliant 120-lumen beam with six times the light output of a typical two-D-cell flashlight. The kit includes a set of diffusers that provide three beam-width options—narrow for search and rescue, wider for area illumination and close work. Its highly visible fluorescent yellow color and included reflective body stickers make the G2L Fire Rescue flashlight easy to find if dropped—perfect if you’re a firefighter, EMT, search and rescue team member, or public safety or utilities worker.

I’ve had this flashlight for about 6 months, and also the central (and bright) white light has stopped working. I disassembled it and discovered a large amount of corrosion built up on the contacts for the white light – no idea where it came from as this flashlight has not been exposed to water. One other member of my unit reported the same problem with his. It could be a design flaw, be warned.

Purchased this while on deployment. its extremely bright, you can feel the heat off of the xenon light. the led’s supply enough light to light a decent area but not quite focused enough.

The xenon supplies a flood light type light. can easily blind someone in darkness.

Yes, this is an costly flashlight….but it completely delivers on each and every penny. It seriously is the perfect flashlight for any pilot. The white spot is focused at all ranges, and will blow any Mag-Lite out of the water. The LED works excellent as well when you need a lot more subtle lighting – the green version is NVG-compliant.

Making use of lithium batteries is fantastic….They have a 10-year shelf life, so you never have to worry about a them acquiring dim over time.

Seriously an awesome, awesome, professional flashlight. It’s built like a tank and performs all the time – accept no substitutes.

Whilst this light is high-priced, I believe it is 1 of the best out there.

I had mine around my neck, via included lanyard (take off the plastic ring and put lanyard directly on light to make sure you don’t lose A2), during the long weekend N.E. blackout of 2008.

It was invaluable to have and also the red LED saves battery to maximize use. The design enables the light to be on continuous color or white light by turning the front end and rear, or keep it ‘off’ for 1 handed thumb use. Although I employed a Mini Mag for deployment to Iraq, I wish I had this light on my web gear.

I love the dual light feature on this flashlight. Low level red for astronomical use and highpower white light for other normal use.

Even so the battery drains slowly when inside the off state resulting in a flashlight that’s not useable when very first turned on after sitting for awhile (like a number of months).

This ought to not be for such a high top quality light. Surefire replaced the light assembly, but to no improvement. They do not test for idle switch drain at all.

Can’t believe a hi-tech light isn’t checked for that! Buyer beware that the battery may be drained after being off for a number of months in storage!!
