Surefire Maximus, Minimus AA, Minimus Tactical and Minimus Vision!

I would probably be ok with 'only' repair. Since the lens seems to be securely epoxied to the housing, i wonder if position of the LED changed just by a small margin and lens started to scatter the light. Either way, not good if something unscrewes/changes after a while... First i thought i scrached the lens, but found out it's in pristine condition.

I wouldn't mind sending it back. Lifetime warranty FTW On the side note: Has anyone already called Surefire about that issue? I would, but international calls are quite expensive and being foreign speaker there's an ever problematic language barrier. I can write and talk quite good, but specific conversations with native english speakers soon prove that wrong

I have and after explaining the issue the rep told me to send it in to be checked out. I never did because I recall reading in one of these thread that someone did return their light and SF deemed it normal and sent it back.

You're talking about the prism issue? What about the parasitic drain?

 

[P_A_S_1]

Yes, the prism issue. Not the drain.

That's bad news, since I recall that some headlamps were returned and replaced because of the reflection issue. I wonder if there's anything we can do... I really like everything about my Minimus, but that reflection really is annoying,

Try frosted glass spray.

If I find mine to be annoying in that respect, I'll break out my HF glass frosting / etchant (typically sourced from arts&crafts stores). Really worked well back in CPF's bulb frosting days.

I love my Minimus Vision. I hate the parasitic drain issue. I don't notice/mind the prismatic reflection.

It's too bad there isn't an updated version. Especially with the same UI.
