    ALSO I AM CONSOLIDATING HERE MY OTHER THREADS OF KNIVES,, BOREALIS FLASHLIGHT, AS PER RULE 5 OF THIS FORUM, WHICH STATE THAT i CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN A THREAD PER FORUM

    LOOK FOR THE KNIVES, BOREALIS FLASHLIGHT IN THE END OF THIS THREAD.

    Hi guys,
    I have made a rechargeable conversion of a Surefire 6P flashlight, into a weapon light of 350 lumens.

    Of course Surefire have one, but it is 120 lumens for 20 minutes, using two of the 123's batteries ($4) every 20 minutes and costing $380
    So, I though I could do better.





    You can mount this baby in a 5.56 mm a 50 caliber or a shotgun, it will shrug recoil no matter what caliber you shoot.
    How come?

    I have machined the interior of the Surefire body, to accept the use of a premium quality Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.




    The special machined Surefire body is a part of the equation.
    The Lamp is a new one it and output and incredible 350 lumens (well more than any Surefire weapon light)

    The tail cap has a remote cable switch with pressure pad, so you can place it on the stock of your rifle or shotgun, under your thumb. Yes thumb pressure will activate the light. You also get a regular tail cap switch.

    Usually this type of light uses 123’s batteries, they go fast under the power of 350 lumens, so we opted for a long run time battery, rechargeable, that will last you close to 2 hours of run time.

    Moreover, when you are unsure of how much battery juice is in the battery, just pop it into the charger and you get a full charged battery, ideal if you practice much night shooting with your AR.
    You cannot do that with 123’s primary batteries unless you are willing to dump expensive half used batteries.

    Li Ion technology will provide extend use if you don’t use the light, an occasional full top charge every 5 months will keep the battery at full capacity.

    We have used a crenellated bezel or a flat bezel in the glossy model, (your choice) the matte black model use a fluted bezel

    I provide the light with a quick detach LEVER ring, so you only have to attach it to a Weaver or Picattiny mount.
    E-mail me if you want to mount it on a sporting rifle and need to know which mount to use and where in the rifle to put it.




    Charger good for 110 to 240 volts, I provide plugs for Australian, European or UK if necessary

    $175 for the weapon light or $135 for the flashlight (in glossy anodized)

    or in hard anodized matte black $145 for the flashlight
    or $185 for the weapon light

    PAY PAL at:
    jcharles11784(at)yahoo(dot)com
    or I can send you a paypal request which you can pay with your credit card

    Also write me a this e-mail if you need more information or want to pay with money order or check.

    If you PM me here, it will take longer to answer you, as I am working away from the computer, while e-mails I always can answer from my cell phone.

    Thank you for looking


    P/S I am located in NY but I ship to California


    SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

    Surefire weapon lights are very good, but they run on RC123’s batteries, which are costly (around $2 each for the Surefire brand).

    A two battery Surefire will do 65 lumens for 1 hour on two batteries or 120 lumens for 20 minutes with the P-61 lamp.

    A 3 battery weapon light will do 200 lumens on three 123’s batteries for 20 minutes.

    That is $18.00 in batteries for one hour to throw a 200 lumens beam, with a lamp’s life of 36 hours.




    You can see such a light (a Surefire 9P) on the picture left. On the right side is my offering of the tactical weapon light with a lamp life of 50,000 hours, running on a rechargeable battery with 2 hours run time, and outputting 300 lumens.


    My rechargeable battery life is 2,000 hours (it can be recharged 1,000 times) after that, a new battery will cost $23 shipped.

    If you were to use the Surefire 200 lumens light for 2,000 hours you will spend $36,000 in batteries.

    Stop wasting money in expensive 123’s and e-mail me for the tactical weapon conversion.
    And it’s shorter and lighter too.

          On right is a picture of the glossy anodized weapon light with the pressure pad switch (you also get the regular switch for when the light is out of the rifle), all steel LEVER mount, charger and battery. The weapon light uses the 350 lumens 1 level lamp. $175 shipped



          Here is the picture of the weapon light in matte black hard anodized type III, with the pressure pad switch and the all steel LEVER mount $185 shipped

          The flashlights are the same but without the mount or the pressure pad switch, the glossy flashlight is $135 and the matte black is $145 shipped

          The flashlight uses the 350 lumens 1 level lamp OR the 5 level lamps (your choice)




          You can e-mail me at jcharles11784(at)yahoo(dot)com for more information, pictures, OPTIONS and references.
          I have options to customize the light to your needs, for example if you don't like cables, I offer instead a soft momentary switch that you can activate with the finger of your grasping hand. curly cords pressure pads for shotguns, straight for rifles, lightweight Weaver style mounts if you are concerned with weight.
          E-mail me for the latest options available as I am always bringing new options to the system

          Cheers

            I will try to get pictures of the beam shot later in the week.

            MOUNTING OPTIONS

            I HAVE THREE MOUNTING OPTIONS FOR YOUR WEAPON LIGHT.
            All will attach securely to Picatinny rails or Weaver bases

            First is an all steel quick detach LEVER mount
            Second is an ultra lightweight all aluminum nut mount
            Third is an aluminum OFFSET mount on the Daniel Defense style
            Your choice



            SWITCH OPTIONS

            For the weapon light I have four switch options.

            First: A pressure pad switch with straight cord (for rifles)
            Second: A pressure pad switch with curly cord (for shotguns)
            And for those that don’t like cables on their guns:
            Third: A momentary and also click on/off switch
            Fourth: A momentary and turn on/ off switch (Surefire system)

              Always enjoyed your torch reviews. Would love to see some shots of this in action, as well.

              Could the same be done with an E-series body and head?

                I will post some pictures later today or tomorrow.

                Unfortunately nobody is interested in drop ins Led's for the E2e, however four years ago was a lot of interest in a modification called "This is Nascar" for the handle of the originator.

                The head of the E2e was streched and a thinner mineral crystal substituted to make room for the Surefire P-61 lamp (120 lumens, without reflector and using the E2e reflector)

                The batteries will get so hot that the inside protection in them will kick in, stopping sending juice to the lamp after five minutes of continued use.

                But the light was intended as a small tactical light that will be used at short intervals.

                Also it was the smaller light that you can put in a rifle, if anybody is interested my version (almost new) is for sale at $110.00 including the ring.

                Here it is:

                  Okay, here is the beamshot with the Surefire weapon light 345 lumens, as fresh as 15 minutes ago.

                  [

                  Now, here is the Surefire 345 mounted on an AK using an UTG barrel mount



                  And here on a Mini 14 attached to the under arm by a Weaver base that has been screwed and poxi glass to the stock.





                  And here attached to the scope, (can be up or sideways on either side of the rifle)




                  So it can be used on sporting rifles by attaching to the scope.

                  If anybody is interested e-mail me at:

                  Surefire weapon light rechargeable 345 lumens $175 shipped in the USA

                          Question and free bump

                          I really like the possiblities, but can you package it with both the remote switch and a push button tail cap so it can pull dual duty? What is the weight with the conversion?
