    surefire stiletto pro 2

    Well. Another defect. On my sample, The top mode button only works about 50% of the time. I can click it and receive no response from the light...Both in on/off and low med hi, or hi med low modes. Will call on Monday, and hopefully SF will accept the RMA. Surefire has become such a disappointment.

    For Streamlight Strion users-FYI

    Thinking another way, maybe Streamlight doesnt want the pre-2020 cells used in the new Strion-2020, due tothe new light's incereased current draw? Interestingly, there is zero on Streamlight.com regarding this comaptibility issue, that i could find. There is nothing in the Strion-2020's manual...

    surefire stiletto pro 2

    Received mine, recently, and so far, the runtime has been horrible. But reading this thread, it's probably normal, though constant on--going from green to orange to red in a few minutes of each other is a bit perplexing, and if the battery isnt dumping voltage, then the battery indicator...

    Surefire Fury Intellibeam doesn't work with Surefire 18650s

    It's a 1500Lu model, but probably from the first few runs. It had a tail cap flaw that I went back and forth with SF, that made them use a bit of thread locker on the internal ring of the cap. But never anything about the cells.

    For Streamlight Strion users-FYI

    Tested the new cell in a few older Strions I have (except a very old incan that uses a cell with no traditional negative terminal), and it works fine. It's physically identical, and the voltage is the same. Why wouldnt it work?

    Surefire Fury Intellibeam doesn't work with Surefire 18650s

    My SF Fury (non-Intellibeam) will not work with the SF red label cells, just the older black label (non-built in USB) cells.

    Could you please help identify this light?

    It's a generic light, with no true manufacturer. On Amazon, it goes by the brand "Haofy"...

    What lights are on your radar in {2024}?

    The new SF Stiletto (duel LED's) looks intriguing...But i bet it wont be released until 2027....

    We need to talk about Olight

    It's for the lock-out/plunger style tail cap. They sued Pentagonlight out of existence for it, but not Pelican, who used the same tail cap design as PL...

    We need to talk about Olight

    Just going to add, as i'm tired of the no-evidence Olight bashing, that the Warrior X4 is (IMO) the best "Tactical" light currently made...

    Tigerlight battery 3500 or 4000 mah

    If I remember correctly, the original Tigerlight battery pack consisted of A size batteries, 6 total. MAH was 2100MAH, or so at 6 volts. An odd size, not available in 3000 MAH. BUT an A sized cell is also known as a 17500 size cell in lithium batteries. Assuming you could build or find someone...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    Possibly. Streamlight used to OEM for them, mainly the 6P bodies in the late 1990's, so it's possible.

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    So.....this is the kicker...I contacted SF, and was told that the light was so new that they sold out with no ETA on when they will receive more lights...Receive is an interesting word, considering SF does its own manufacturing...Regardless, I was told that there is no way to warranty the light...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    So........My EDC1 arrived in HA gray...And it's defective: Single Hi output, only, no low output. Also, the beam hotspot is a big oval. I bet the head was assembled wrong, and the dual output circuitry isnt making a connection, which may also be effecting the beam pattern. Having it single ouput...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    Recieved mine....Not sure what SF is trying to do, except hit all the latest light trends: 18650-rechargeable. Misguided high candela trend. Integrated pocket clip. It's nice, but outclassed by quite a few other lights. Trends dont make for good lights. Superior illumination tools do, yet SF...
