Is the quality of all their flashlights good? are all their flashlights reliable? and how does it stack up to competition such as Fenix,surefire, and nitecore

I wouldnt want to go that far on rating them thoughI would rate the M series close to Surefire quality
It goes without saying the Surefire lights are more reliable and have the best warranty (but you pay for it). Nitecore is certainly at the bottom of that list. I've had issues with every Nitecore I've owned. There have been quite a lot of problems with their piston lights and many on here are having issues with the new "tiny monster". Olight and Fenix are somewhere in the middle.
Nitecore and Jetbeam was and always has been in the bottom in terms of quality. Yes, they make remarkable products. That applies only on papers. They never really do the testing and proper QC before launching the products into the market. Let's hope the PA10 650lm (1x14500) wont mess up as the TM11 and Intellicharge.Nitecore is certainly at the bottom of that list. I've had issues with every Nitecore I've owned.

agreed....as can be seen from many youtube videos, Olight (new Chairman since 2010: David Chow) has been partnering with 4Sevens (Chairman, Founder & Owner: David Chow)
This is not correct. He never was involved as co-founder of Fenix. Fenixstore.com (David's) was kicked out as Fenix dealer due to its violation in prices. A co-owner of Fenix wouldnt be kicked out of his own company?co-founder of Fenix) which is itself an US-American company.
Olight's pricing is higher than Fenix from what i can tell. And 4Sevens (and SureFire) are even higher than that.
Hi, are you hinting at the pricing policy or the updating policy? (please explain if possible, your quote)..not as aggresive as it used to... wouldnt like to push things into boundary... tend to be the 'surefire' of Chinese brand and play it conservatively
I was actually referring to their product lines and how they rate their torches (read: not overrated). I wouldnt comment on pricing policy. Fenix is more expensive because with the same price, you can get a Jetbeam or any other torches with extra lumens. Can you imagine Fenix is releasing a PD32 just a couple of weeks ago with 313lm and R5 in it? While others are playing XM-L, fenix goes with R5. What can be more conservative than that?Hi, are you hinting at the pricing policy or the updating policy? (please explain if possible, your quote)
