    Is the SureFire E1B worth the price????

    you left out a very important detail. What is the price? You said is it worth the price? What price are you taking about? Are you talking about the $114 I paid for it? Then yes. Is it worth the MSRP of $159 or so...then no. I like the size. I disagree that it is too big to be pocket...

    Would you purchase a CPF Edition Surefire L1?

    I wouldn't buy a special edition if it cost more than the normal edition. Unless of course, it have something actually special about it like more user modes. I won't pay extra for fancy printing or serial numbered items.

    Anybody in their family have somebody question spending 50 dollars on a flashlight?

    The guys I work with wonder, initially, why my SF's cost over a hundred bucks. They quickly understand after playing with it a short while. As far as my wife goes, we have separate finances so I buy what I want. I also put in over 20% of my income into retirement accounts, and I have zero...

    The many advantages of... a Maglite!

    Every 'advantage' you mentioned is not a plus at all but a disadvantage. If having to have spare bulbs, putting up with a low level of light, tolerating an absolutely terrible adjustable beam, and carrying around a couple pounds of flashlight and batteries is a good thing for you, then...

    Budget Vs High end lights

    If you have to ask, you will never understand. Today, I received a new tailcap for the Surefire L1, because the rubber finally wore through after carrying it almost daily for three years. The tailcap was FREE. Normally, tailcaps start at about forty dollars on up. Who do I call if my made in...

    Valentines? Light as gift? **UPDATE page 3**

    Re: Valentines? Light as gift? I don't care what women say to the contrary, they always want flowers at work. They want to show off to the other women because that is how they are. They like to one up the other. Do the customary things and give her a light later on for no good reason I got...

    Does Your Wife or Significant Other Give You a Hard Time?

    Re: Does Your Wife or Significant Other Give U a Hard Time? I have a prenuptial and we have separate accounts. I buy what I want, literally. I have no credit card debt and the wife has 30k plus in credit card debt and student loans. She always has new boots/shoes/handbags that popup. I don't...

    Is Smith & Wesson Galaxy LED Light Crap?

    If they don't have squat then lean towards an LED maglite. I would imagine they have those there. You can always modify it later, but I would take an LED maglite over some multi led 5mm array. Like the other poster stated...toy. Start thinking "no more crappy flashlights" Pop your flashlight...

    Fenix LD01

    Re: fenix LD01 I was using mine the other day while reading and noticed there was an intermittent flicker. It wasn't like a strobe but a small and yet noticeable change in lumens. It was not terribly irritating. I didn't know about about any flickering issues until I read a couple of these...

    Fenix LD01

    Re: fenix LD01 I can't tell you about runtimes or whatever on alkalines but I run mine on alkalines and it seems fine. I don't know if it gets brighter on a NiMh battery or lithium. I bought this light because it looked pretty neat but I really like it. I have found that I clip it to my hat...

    Jet-III ~ Pocketable???

    the jet iii m is not what I would consider a 'pocketable' light. I am comparing this to the Surefire L1 and E1B and even the longer E2dL. It weighs in at about 5.8 ounces with two 123's and not sure how much more with the 18650 it can accomodate. My Surefire E2Dl is about the same length...
