SUREFIRE SHOT SHOW REPORT

[AzGB]

HUGE PICTURE POST... Though I don't think anyone is going to be upset, it sounds like this is what everyone would like. All resized to 800 pixels to follow the rules.

Quick sample of catalog scans I was able to get done. These are the pages with the new info. Enjoy...

Good Job!

[depusm12]

WOW I'm impressed. I think I need a UA2 Optimus

[FredericoFreire]

Great images!

Thanks!!

[Wicho]

I don't know what I'm more excited by - the two new U2s or that model with the Defender light .

[ugrey]

AzGB, You are THE Man. Many, many thanks.

[merkaba]

If that new UB2 can take 18650... even if i have to get another body for it that will be my absolute ULTIMATE light!!!!

AzGB.... thanks for posting scans of the 2008 SF catalog. Really like the Optimus!

[KeyGrip]

Excellent work, thank you for the scans.

[Tachikoma]

Thanks Az, any idea on when they'll put the downloadable pdf on the official site?

[MikeLip]

Awwww MAN! That new U2 is making me forget I swore off two celled lights! Wooohooo! Thank you!

[planex]

AzGB,

That was a great service to the CPF community. Just what we wanted.

[bondr006]

Thanks AzGB ..... I talked to a rep at Surefire, and she said the .pdf catalog will be available on the 11th. Man, I'm not going to be able to stop drooling now.

[houtex]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

[adamlau]

I'll take an Invictus, thank you very much.

Agreed... Thanks AZGB!

[skalomax]

I hope there isnt any glitches on the UI.
It seems to have a lot of stuff.

The 400L U2, Will be mine!

[Wolfhound 9K]

I love this place... time to start checking the SF website daily in case they release the new 2008 .pdf catalog early!!

But what I REALLY want to know is if SF will be able to produce a light that can compare to Gene Malkoff's Quad Maglite drop-in...

U2B INVICTUS , late this year, 400L!! with SSC P7, 8 output levels(2-200) + strobe + sos, fuel guage as UA2 but 2x as bright, not focusable and undoubtedly more spendy.

Damet! there goes more money...

[Lobo]

Holy crap! Those are some nice looking lights!!!!

I haven't been impressed by a Surefire for a long time, but these lights looks AWESOME! If there was a way to workaround my Surefire pet-pevee(not made for rechargables) I would be eating noodles for the rest of the year to save up for one of the U2s!

Looks like this year is going to belong to Surefire.

EDIT: Dont get why so many people are upset about the strobe and SOS. Sure, blinky modes are not my favourites either (ok, strobe could be usefull sometimes, but SOS?). But with this UI you get the best of both worlds, don't have to use them or cycle through them if you don't want to. Doesnt get better than that.

[AzGB]

You're welcome everyone, I'm happy to help. Besides... I had to have someone to share this with, everyone that I know thinks I'm nuts for getting worked up at all about these things.

I love that the new UA2 and UB2 are two-stage lights! Soft-press for whatever function you're on and hard-press for max output no matter what setting the dial is at. Beautiful idea.

I probably wont be able to help myself, something tells me that I'll end up owning both Ux2's, the Alu-Titan, the E1B, and the E2D-LED. Looks like it's going to be Ramen for a while...

[Lightingguy321]

When are those blast 2008 catalogs going to be available I want a copy.

[kongfuchicken]

Yes, thank you so much for those pictures.

The optimus, and invictus are looking like they are months ahead of anything I've heard of up to date.
The Al Titan also sounds like it'll be the matured version of something we've been waiting for a long time. The amount of engineering in every single one of those lights is simply amazing.

[FrogsInWinter]

THANK YOU AzGB!!

The Titan T1A, E2D LED, and dual ouput E1L have all caught my eye.

Am I the only one who thinks that the UB2 should have been named Megatron instead? Hahaha, sorry that's the Transformer's geek in me. Thanks again AzGB! Now all we have to do is wait patiently.

[sledhead]

Thanks for scanning! The Optimus looks fantastic! One could replace quite a few flashlights with that one. I can see there are going to be some tough decisions to make this year.

[Spypro]

Good pictures
My wallet is already running for its life !
I really like the UB2 Optimus and Invictus ans also the E2D LED.

[munchs]

Thanks a lot for posting the scan images. Looking into the details of these new releases from Surefire, I'm speechless

UA2 with its variable light focusing ability is the one for me. Now the wait begins...

[tussery]

The E2DL looks cool but I don't think it will replace my KL4 with E2D bezel as it will most likely not have the same flood with the TIR.
