That's a Surefire way to get a time out.☺
Since you can buy 4x the number of "Chinese lights" for the price of 1 Surefire, I'm not too concerned about parts being available years from now. If I was, I'd just buy 2 lights, and still save 50% over the price of a single Surefire. More likely, I'll just buy an upgraded version of the light every couple of years, to get more output and features.
Is a 10 year old Surefire still any good? Sure, shrug, but I'd rather use something more recent.

Why not? Calm down Surefire fan boy. I don't have to have used their customer service to comment on the cost, quality of product, value or any of the things people discuss.
And as usual the accusation of "trolling" gets levied at all those who point out the bloody obvious, like the ridiculous cost vs value.

And these topics are related to a manufacturer's customer service (purpose of this thread) in what way?
Don't worry about providing an appropriate answer......I'm not going to come back to this thread to read it.

Seems relative. If you don't like it don't spend your money there.
I couldn't imagine spending a dollar of my money on what I believe to be Chinese made junk.. yet what good would it ever do to share an opinion of that nature in a forum thread talking about said companies?
People act like SF fanboys are in a class of their own.. when every brand has a solid following here just the same. The only difference is people still feel the need to tell you how SF isn't worth the money. I guess it's an integral part of the community but at this point I find it funny. It's like being the guy who owns the Corvette on the block and your neighbors hating you instead of just saying, "cool nice car, glad you enjoy it".
So they actually opened up the L2 head and resoldered a new LED in place? Was it another Luxeon LED? If so, that's awesome.
Great that they gave you a brand new EB1 head, too!
