Re: Surefire New Products 2012

Surefire must be using XM-L leds. I wonder if there will be issues with heat and a need to drop the output after a few minutes? Any thoughts ??

This maybe true but how many minutes do you need at 500-900 lumens?

Is it just me or are Surefires starting to look like cheap Chinese imports? I really dont like the whole no grip scalloped look. It just looks cheap and tacky

Guess I am an old school SF fan :(

Another old school Surefire guy over here as well. Was a fan of the knurling and the old logo. Although I must say they have some new stuff that I could save up for.:)

Re: Surefire New Products 2012

I've got the new fury and it don't feel a bit cheap, the only thing it's more light weight than some of the originals like the 6P original, but I've got a 6P and a 9P original on the way. But that's a really good point, surely surefire would'nt let us down by chinese imports.

Re: Surefire New Products 2012

I definitely want the EB1 for sure. Do you think that the reason why they are making the new series is to keep people from modifying them like you could do easily on the original series?

That seems to be the case with the KX4 head so I bet it would be possible for the rest as well. With 500 lumens who would want too?

I was hoping to see an updated Titan in there. The wrist light looks interesting, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up that it will actually be released.

Hopefully they keep the old one or offer an LX2 with a lower output and longer runtime. 500 lumens is way too bright for a tactical flashlight.

As seems to keep things neat, we'll be merging threads together for all the SureFire at SS2012 stuff, and having individual ones on specific models if/when SureFire releases them.

Re: Surefire New Products 2012

I like the wristlamp type thing. Maybe I'll buy one for work when I get back in the business.

The LX2 update would tempt, but I have a 6P with the Kroma two-stage and a Nailbender XM-L unit, so I don't need it.

It's a very good possibility that's the case. Like you said 500 lumens who would want too. The fury is pretty awsome with the 500 lumens. I am well pleased with it.

Re: Surefire New Products 2012

Nice new lights.
I quite like the LX2 Ultra, UDR (which was in last years catalog)
And the SAL angle head light

The 2211 wrist light looks interesting, but I don't know how useful I would find it.

Hopefully Surefire actually build some of these (like the minimus vision I wanted from last years shot show)

I like the looks of the new products. I hope to see more two stage tail caps, I think that is a better UI than the second click within a second. I probably will not be able to afford them, but I can dream. I look forward to buying the used older SF's CPFer's are selling to fund new SF purchases.
