After the previous thread about these batteries I immediately placed my order. They were in my hands within three days. Great service.
Anyone who thinks these flashlights are overpriced either doesn't use a flashlight much, or has simply never tried a Surefire. I spent years wishing I had a good flashlight. I was tired of flashlights that broke, I was tired of flashlights with weak yellow beams, I was tired of flashlights with big dark spots in their beam, I was tired of flashlights with unreliable switches, I was tired of flashlights that easily turned on so that when I went to use them they were dead. I reluctently forked over the money for a Maglight and most of these problems went away. I ended up buying a half dozen of them for work, for the car, for the house. A couple years ago, I had heard of Surefire, but had never seen one and thought they were too expensive. Then I ran across a guy that actually owned one, one dark night. I had my two cell mag light and realized that this guy had a light that was a fourth the size and was twice as bright. Instead of trying to figure out how I was going to carry my big two D cell flashlight, I saw a light I could easily stick in my pocket. Instead of trying to overcome the sterotype that I was going to hit someone in the head with my flashlight, I could carry a much smaller flashlgiht that did a better job and was less intimidating. I have never looked back. Instead of worrying about how much it cost, I ended up with a couple of them. After getting my first one, I used it for awhile and then had a problem with it. I called Surefire and suggested that it had a bad switch. The woman on the phone said, no way. It is a million to one that that switch is bad. She didn't come off as being obnoxious, she honestly believed that there was no way there was anything wrong with the light. She was totally confident in their quality control. She was right, it was operator error.
