So I have 2 G2's...one black and one FDE. I had the FDE on my rifle and am making the switch to all black
 , my FDE light had the LED lamp, so I pulled it out to switch it to my black G2 to put on the AR...but lo and behold, the LED lamp no longer worked.....i tried it in both lights and with different batteries...no damage to the springs or connections as far as i can tell...it worked,i took it out and put it back in and now no worky  
have any of u guys had this happen or any ideas as to what could be wrong? thanks in advance! cordovamx |

Sometimes LED's just "Poof". No explanation, and it seems to happen to even the best of them at times.

I've not heard of a P60L LED Lamp Assembly doing this before. I'm not aware of LEDs just failing at random.
I certainly urge you to give SureFire a call to arrange to sort it out. |

It is rare, but sometimes an LED just "poofs" Usually happens in the first 5 hours of use if it is going to occur. USUALLY in the first set of batteries. |

Just a thought but, do the P60L assemblies have reverse-polarity protection?
If not, perhaps the batteries in the black G2 were installed backwards? The incandescent would have still worked fine if they were, but the LED wouldn't. I second the suggestion that you call, not email, Surefire. |

I don't know for a fact, but I would bet that SF's have reverse polarity protection. Warrenty claims would eat them alive if they didn't. |
