[[File:solarforcex2.jpg|thumb|Solarforce L2 (gunmetal gray) and L2i (sand)]]All L2 series lights accommodate a P60 drop-in and are based on the [[SureFire]] 6P flashlight. Drop-ins are available with varying numbers of modes (1, 3, or 5) and voltage ranges allowing anywhere from 2 AA batteries to multiple CR123 batteries. The "High Output" drop-in has an input voltage of 0.8-4.2V allowing it to run from 1-3 NiMH cells or a single lithium ion cell. The regular drop-in has input voltage from 4.2V-18V allowing multiple lithium-ion or CR123A cells to be used. Lights can be further customized with various bezels, tail assemblies, and body tube extensions. The body, head, and tail of Solarforce lights are compatible with Surefire C and P series lights, but the Solarforce bezels are not. Many of the body-colored spare parts are available only in glossy black (L2) or matte black (HA III L2P). | [[File:solarforcex2.jpg|thumb|Solarforce L2 (gunmetal gray) and L2i (sand)]]All L2 series lights accommodate a P60 drop-in and are based on the [[SureFire]] 6P flashlight.

Available in matte black (glossy before 2011 version), gunmetal gray (sometimes greenish, but in 2011 a pure silver tint), or sand body colors. The tail switch is exposed and this light does not tailstand. | ||
'''L2P''' - Similar to the L2 but with better [[Materials#Anodizing|anodizing]] (Type III HA instead of Type II), a less aggressive bezel, milder knurling, and the ability to tailstand.

Matte black or gray body colors (in September 2011 blue and gold colors were added to the lineup). Has a longer battery tube, so this host doesn't always work with shorter unprotected 18650's or with drivers that have a short spring on the bottom (like the NANJG 2.8A driver). Can tailstand. | ||
'''L2X''' - Similar to the L2 but with a knobby body and therefore lacks some of the finer details like the hex head. Introduced in September 2010. Also available in a 2x18650 extended version. | '''L2X''' - Similar to the L2 but with a knobby body and therefore lacks some of the finer details like the hex head. Introduced in September 2010.
