    Surefire E1B MaxVision discussion

    Just got mine yesterday. I am fine with the high output level and am 70% fine with the low output. It could be a tad brighter. Maybe. I imagine if the low were a lot brighter, it would be annoying for what I think is it's intended use: up close work. While, yes, I'm on CPF, I don't consider...

    The Klarus XT11 Thread

    This has probably been covered elsewhere, but in the spirit of collaboration... I actually just got my metal grip ring from GoingGear. I emailed the people in China and they said to reach out to dealers. I bought mine from GoingGear and after contacting them and verifying my purchase, they...

    The Klarus XT11 Thread

    Yes, it is the 1xAA XP-G model. I'm alright with it! :) I know, I was surprised too -- but, I did basically have to wait almost 3 months to get my light back. On top of that, it's not like they sent me a new one...I'm pretty sure they just finally repaired my original light and sent it back...

    The Klarus XT11 Thread

    Man...so it's July 23rd and the issue that I've been documenting here is finally resolved. Bottom line, the people at klaruslightusa.com ended up sending me a new light after almost 3 months (Though, my original problem was reported in April!). As a make-good, they also sent along a XT1A, a...

    Zero Tolerance 0561...the Lowest Publicly Available Ser #

    Damn, that's a cool number too. Someone on eBay was selling #666. #444 is kinda interesting too. My wife is Japanese and the number 4 is actually a bad/badass number because it's the number of death. I don't know why. We were getting some new recessed lighting put in a ceiling a while back...

    Zero Tolerance 0561...the Lowest Publicly Available Ser #

    I was playing around with my Zero Tolerance 0561 the other day. I've had the thing for months and, for some reason, realized I never looked at the Serial Number. I was stunned...

    The Klarus XT11 Thread

    For the record, you dudes at GoingGear still run a top notch shop. I still get stuff from you. Yeah, I guess the repair was not 100%, but for the record and for everyone to know, Going Gear did offer to, of course, fix the fix. I ended up sending it to those other guys because I thought...

    The Klarus XT11 Thread

    Yeah, I guess I see that now. Though, I did explicitly ask them if they send the light all the way back to China and the guy, Jeff, over there said they do not and they repair it in house, in California. Who the heck knows though. I thought they seemed like a distributor because they don't...

    The Klarus XT11 Thread

    So, I guess a previous thread got all jacked up and was closed. A few of us were in the middle of a conversation about a repair I have in for warranty service. In response to ledmitter_nli below, yep, I sent my light in to those people. I think they are "official" because They are servicing...

    Klarus XT11

    For the record, I've actually been dealing with a bad switch. I was documenting it over in SelfBuilt's review thread. I know, it should be documented here. Long story short, my switch failed and I sent it to the retailer who said they would perform any warranty work. They sort of fixed it...

    Klarus XT11

    I think the overwhelming consensus has been that the Klarus lights are of high quality. I am having a little issue with mine, which is being documented in SelfBuilt's review thread (and, yes, should probably be moved here) had have had to deal with a retailers' customer service and Klarus USAs...

    Klarus XT11 (XM-L U2 - 1x18650, 2xCR123A/RCR) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO+

    Oh, I certainly did open it up after I got it back from the retailer. I did fiddle with it and got it to work a lot better than when I got it, but it wasn't 100%. I think what was happening was that the small strip of rubber that separates the mode button area from the main button tailswitch...

    Klarus XT11 (XM-L U2 - 1x18650, 2xCR123A/RCR) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO+

    Man, I just can't win. I got my XT11 back from the retailer (who said they will be happy to handle warranty claims) and the Mode switch now works again, but it has another weird problem. When I press the main tail switch something underneath hits the mode button, too. So if I press the main...

    Klarus XT11 (XM-L U2 - 1x18650, 2xCR123A/RCR) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO+

    Oh, I assure you, I totally dig the light. It's awesome. I love the unique UI, battery flexibility, and overall build (with the exception of this speedbump). Other than that whole clip topic, yeah, I'm pretty stoked about it. Yeah, I'm not going to bash Klarus for a faulty light right out...

    Klarus XT11 (XM-L U2 - 1x18650, 2xCR123A/RCR) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO+

    Just a quick follow up here. My bottom line is that I'm actually sending the light in to GoingGear in Georgia. Since my light failed within the 30 day return period (actually the light is less than 2 weeks old), they'll fix it or replace it. But one bit of good news is that I have been in...
