[[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.

'''L2''' - The original light is a 1x18650 host. Available in matte black or shiny titanium gray. The 2011 edition has a 3 amp switch.

The tail switch is exposed so this light does not tailstand. Prior to 2011, black was glossy, gunmetal gray had a greenish tint, and a matte sand color was available. Prior to 2009, the body tube was not wide enough for 188650 batteries. | ||
'''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. Available in | '''L2P''' - Similar to the L2 but with a forward clicky, better [[Materials#Anodizing|anodizing]] (Type III HA instead of Type II), a less aggressive bezel, milder knurling, and the ability to tailstand. Available in black, gray, desert yellow, and blue. Prior versions were also available in black or gray only and came with a reverse clicky switch designed for more like 2 amp instead of 3. They also had a slightly longer body tube that could result in connection problems with the battery (particularly shorter unprotected batteries or with dropins that have short springs). | ||
'''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.
