Founded in 1979, SureFire is a benchmark in the flashlight industry, headquartered in Fountain Valley, California, USA, and produces a wide range of high-performance mobile lighting devices such as flashlights and weapon lights. SureFire has won an outstanding reputation for its solid workmanship and high reliability, and is known as "a searchlight disguised as a flashlight", and has won numerous professional awards in the U.S. market and international industry, and has been awarded by the National Defense Industry Association (NDIA), the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the National Rifle Association (NRA) and other organizations. The company is a major supplier of flashlights to the U.S. Armed Forces, and its products are widely used by law enforcement agencies at all levels in the United States and military and police systems in most countries and regions, and also occupy a huge market share in the civilian field.
 
All of SureFire's lighting products are designed and manufactured in the United States. SureFire's focusing elements are dot-coated for a smooth output beam, and the housing is molded from high-strength aerospace aluminum alloy and anodized to military-grade standards for durability. In addition, some of SureFire's products or components are made of polymers, often using Nitrolon, a polyamide nylon polymer filled with high-strength glass, compared to other flashlights that use relatively cheap plastics such as ABS. This glass-filled technology means that the polymer matrix is complemented by glass fibers for enhanced rigidity and high-temperature stability.
 
SureFire flashlights have a rich product line, ranging from small flashlights to large HID models, and the price is on the high side, ranging from 400 yuan to 9000 yuan. The G series is the entry-level model made of high-strength plastic, the E series is a compact and portable model, the P series is a high-end model suitable for police officers, and the M series is the top model in the tactical flashlight. Titan, Titan Plus, Sidekick, UDR Dominator, etc. are better products.
 
If you are looking for a portable flashlight in SureFire's products, then the ultra-compact Titan series will be the best choice, with a maximum light output of 125 lumens in a small size, which is twice the maximum light output of the flashlight of the same level, more than enough for daily use, and the price is about 400 yuan, which is a more affordable choice in the SureFire series products. If the brightness of the Titan is not enough, the advanced version of the 300 lumen Titan Plus and the condensed version of the sidekick have higher brightness.
 
For general outdoor travel, you can buy the entry products of the G series. For example, the G2X LE is a classic, with 600 lumens enough for general outdoor lighting needs, and this model uses the CR123A battery used in most SureFire products. This single-use lithium battery has a higher cost, longer runtime and shelf life, and the G2X LE can maintain a battery life of 1.5 hours at 600 lumens. Other brands often use disposable No. 5 or No. 7 alkaline batteries, which are easy to obtain and inexpensive, but have a shorter run time and a short shelf life. The rechargeable battery includes nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion battery, which does not have an advantage in energy density, is often large in size, and the existence of the charging port will greatly reduce the waterproofness of the product, but the rechargeable battery can avoid replacing the battery, and it is the most convenient to use.
 
Another highlight of SureFire is the threading of parts in the same series, which means that many parts of the same series are interchangeable, which is not possible with all other brands. SureFire has not been officially introduced to the Chinese market at present, and the purchase channel largely relies on overseas shopping, and many after-sales repairs are cumbersome. In addition, the brand name SupFire in the Chinese market is very similar to the name of SureFire, so pay attention to screening before buying to avoid misselection.
