As many know, I am a flashlight superfreak and am always trying to come up with different weaponlight packages. I also take a lot of training classes and realize that people (like myself) want the most light for the least amount of weight and cost.

Many folks like to take the SF E2D and turn it into a weaponlight by adding a VLTOR E-Series mount. This setup works just fine, but has some shortfalls IMHO. First, the lamp module is NOT shock isolated. Second, the tailcap is disliked for its sharpness (have run into this issue myself). Lumens output on this light is also rated at 60.

The goal was to take the best parts of the E2D and combine them with a shock isolated bezel and a couple of options for a tailcap. Out of this came the WG6D and WG9D. The "WG" stands for Weapons Grade, the number designates the voltage and the "D" stands for Defender.

As always, consumer feedback is appreciated.

Quoted: Can you get Larue to make a mount for this diameter light body? I talked to Mike about it months ago but have not followed up on it.

My next thing is to make this body so that it can accept the LT mount. The goal for these was to keep costs down for the folks that don't want to spend that much.

Quoted: Prices? Or did I miss it?

I did not include the prices in my initial post as it was meant to show people a new light setup.

Quoted: Hey Grant,     That thing is the cat's ass! Nicely done!!! Any other Surefire configurations in the works?  Paul

Thank you. Yes, there are going to be some other cool things coming out.

Quoted: Quoted: The goal was to take the best parts of the E2D and combine them with a shock isolated bezel and a couple of options for a tailcap. The best parts being...?  I don't see them anywhere on this setup. Also, not to hijack but would this remote pressure switch work on a 6P/9P/G2?  Does Surefire make one that does?  I'm not at all impressed with the pentagon switch option.

The best part of the E2D is the body size (small and light). The problem is that you cannot simply buy the E2D body. If you could, you would also have to pay an arm and a leg for it!  

SF makes several tape switches for the lights you are interested in. My favorite is the SF XM06. It gives you a tape switch and a push button, constant on capability.

Quoted: Very impressive Grant! I need to standardize some things now. Mark

Thanks Mark.

Since no one has seemed to catch this yet, you are seeing the VERY first 9V Executive sized weaponlight!!!  


C4

Quoted: Grant-- So you could run an XM tailcap with these lights? If so, will you offer this? How much more would it be than a standard tailcap?

No, these are EXACTLY like the SF Scout lights. They can ONLY use the tailcaps that this light uses.

Quoted: Quoted: Yes, there are going to be some other cool things coming out. C4 So when will you have the LT 1" offset light mounts in stock?

As soon as LT ships them! Just as FYI, those will NOT work with this light. You do have options however for this light. DD has made inserts for their Offset Mount that will work with E Series light bodies (E2D, E2E, etc).

gRant and others,

LT will be making their new light mount in widths that folks ask for...starting with .75", .81", .90", 1.00", etc.  Such as the E2-series of lights.

Excellent! This will give the shooter lots of options.

Quoted: awesome!  I haven't seen these yet but their really cool! how much is just a 2x123 body? Thanks!

The bodies alone are $45.
