Top Quality Light January 2, 2009

Black glossy metal, brighter (80 lumens), longer run time, what more could you ask for? The new version of the 6P just got better.
Pros:
*New LED 80 lumens tactical level light. Blindingly bright, good "sidespill", decent "throw."
*Nice, solid feel thanks to the metal
*Lasts longer than incandescent models.
*Same compact size
*Can be used for self-defense either to blind opponent, or to strike individual if things get rough.
Cons:
*I also own a Surefire E1B, also 80 lumens. When I compared the E1B to the 6PLED, the E1B outperformed the 6P. It has a better throw. This was somewhat disappointing.
*The peripheral light ("sidespill") is a bit dim compared to other tactical lights I have.
*Although it is more energy efficient, it still runs on 123A's, which are expensive. Cannot use rechargeable cells because it might damage the circuits.
Updated classic November 10, 2008

The Surefire 6P is THE classic modern day cop light. It pretty much set the standard for law enforcement, military and emergency personnel flashlights. No longer was it necessary to carry around heavy C- and D-cell lights that started to go dim after the first 1/2 hour of use. The 5" long, 1" diameter Surefire put out more light than the Maglites and was much easier to carry to boot. The original did have a couple of shortcomings, mainly the short battery life and the somewhat fragile nature of the bulb module. The bulbs also burned out pretty often as well.
Enter the age of the LED. The 6P LED model is here and it's a dandy. With a claimed 80 lumens of output and an LED module that is virtually unbreakable and essentially never burns out. The 123A batteries also last longer as well.
The beam of the Surefire is a real delight. It doesn't throw a spotlight like a laser into the darkness like some lights. Instead, it has a very bright center spot with a very wide area surrounding the spot with even floodlight. It's a favorite for most emergency purposes because the beam pretty much fills a normal room with enough light to identify a threat with a quick blip of the momentary-on switch. It's bright enough to light a pretty large area outdoors as well.
But there are quite a few lights these days that compete with the Surefire--some with more power and many that cost considerably less. Why pay almost $90 for the 6P LED? Well, the warranty pretty much covers everything, the build of the light is the definition of over-engineering and the glossy hard anodized finish is immaculate. It's really the Rolls-Royce of flashlights. But it's a Rolls-Royce you can work hard, abuse and neglect and it will continue to function.
It's a great light. ALL the Surefire models are excellent with this being an update and improvement of the classic.

This flashlight is the best "maglite" type flashlight I have ever used. The beam is bright and "clean". The batteries last and last without any discernable change in brightness. It is "Marine Corps" rugged and is heavy enough to throw at the enemy if say, your pistol jams because you failed to clean it.
 Great light but better value with Surefire G2 July 17, 2008

This is a great flashlight but you can get an even better value by going with the Surefire G2 LED model. It has the same brightness and performance yet has slightly longer run time and is lighter (hard plastic casing rather than metal). I actually prefer the G2 because it's easier on your clothes if you like to keep the light in your pocket (the knurled grip on the metal 6P model can tear at your clothing).
Furthermore, the G2 is a lot less expensive so you get more bang for your buck with it. That said, if you require a metal flashlight, The 6P LED is tops in both runtime and brightness for the size.
Powerful, well-built flashlight June 20, 2008

It's almost misleading to call this a "flashlight" because it's really in a class of its own above and beyond most flashlights, even MagLites. This is a well-engineered and solidly constructed tactical light. It's expensive, yes, but the quality and power of this flashlight are worth the cost. The beam it produces is far more intense than anything else I have ever used and is bested only by 500,000+ candlepower handheld spotlights. It is visible in broad daylight and can illuminate objects at night from 100 meters away. As far as the build quality goes, the whole light is made out of thick, anodized aluminum. Drop it or handle it roughly and it will still last you ten years.
