    U2 with unfavorable tint - what now?

    [ QUOTE ] sigp6 said: Seeing as tint is so subjective how is Surefire supposed to make everyone happy? Other than testing them out yourself in a B&M store, I don't see how you guarantee the *perfect* tint. One man's perfectly white tint is another's awful, green tint... [/ QUOTE ] Back when...

    U2 with unfavorable tint - what now?

    I could live with some blue in the beam (I'm used to it from Nichia 5mm whie LED's) and even a little yellow wouldn't be too bad, since *every* incndescant light is *very* yellow, but if I can see the green in a $280, when I'm not comparing it to another light, I'd be mighty pissed off, too. By...

    How many different versions of the KL1 did SF make

    Thanks for the information! You answered most of my questions. I *thought* there were 4 versions, but I sure couldn't think what they were! Funny, or more properly put, it's pretty sad that SF can't measure either lumens or runtime of LED's with their *va$t* resources....But Arc Flashlight...

    How many different versions of the KL1 did SF make

    I bought one of the early KL1's; ribbed body, LD 1 W Luxeon. Well known for it's blue and/or violet color, which I have gotten used to (mine seems mostly bluish, to me). I still find it very useful, in that it delivers a nice hot spot, and a lot of spill light. The KL1 that people call the...

    Finally got my KL4...

    Slightly greenish tints seem pretty common in the KL4. Generally, it's only visible on a white wall. That's the way mine is, anyway; and I've seen a lot of similar posts. Unfortunately, my KL4 head is not a good performer on one cell, at least not what I was hoping for, after reading other's...

    HELP my QIII clip snaped.

    There was a fellow who recently needed a Mag reflector and lens. I did ask for for a small amount of money to cover shipping expenses, but nothing for the parts themselves. I wasn't using them, and was happy to help out somebody who needed them. That's almost always the case with small...

    PIC REQUEST: New Style KL1 on FB1/Vital Gear body

    I can't give you a picture, but I CAN tell you my VG FB1 *won't work* with either a KL4, or the new Kl1 head. I spent two whole evenings trying to get it to work, with no luck. The VG FB1 works perfectly with my 1st gen. KL1, and that's where it is. But I *specifically* bought it to put the new...

    let's talk about the eternalight

    Re: let\'s talk about the eternalight I've bought a *lot* of EternaLights since 2001. My first one, an Ergo Marine, is still on it's first set of batteries, despite countless hours of use. I have two Elite Xrays that get a fair amount of use as well. Right now, my well worn Ergo Marine is in...

    U2: The Video 2.0

    I must say the video is very nicely done. I certainly hope the butt-ugly green color is an artifact of some sort, perhaps from your camera, or the color of the walls? If I had paid $280 for a light with that color emittor, I think I could break the speed of light trying to get a...

    U2 (or any long anticipated product) thoughts

    Oh, I'm just engaging in what I see as some extremely well deserved SureFire bashing. From what I see as price gouging (about 40% price increases in the last few years in some models seem like gouging to me) to their, in my opinion, fascist pricing and dealer policies. People say: buy a G2, if...

    U2 (or any long anticipated product) thoughts

    [/ QUOTE ] I actually would find detents undesireable for the exact reason that I understood that surefire would NOT put them there...... detents would add an audible noise that would/could reveal you to a hostile enemy in the dark.

    U2 (or any long anticipated product) thoughts

    I didn't know there was a detent for lowest and highest setting. While this won't convince me to buy one, I'll retract my 'no brains' criticism of SF on the no detent design,..... and reduce it to 'too few brains at SF'. I figured each time you pulled it out of your pocket, or wherever you...

    U2 (or any long anticipated product) thoughts

    My opinion is that the U2 is too big for prctical EDC. It's so expensive it's almost a joke. (A bad joke, but still a joke). The video I saw showed an ugly green color in the lower power levels. Really, really, really ugly green. And I'm fairly color-blind, so it must be REALLY ugly green! If...
