    U2 with unfavorable tint - what now?

    ...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 the KL1 first came out, SureFire was...

    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...

    Is the postal service always this bad?

    ...than I do.... and I have a college degree. I have a friend who works for the Post Office, as a letter sorter. One night, there were literally *7* supervisors on duty, doing absolutely *no work whatsoever*, except to repeatedly harass the *4* letter sorters for not working hard enough! I...

    Best Good/Lame excuse you ever heard?

    The voices in my head told me to stay home and clean my assault rifle today.

    CPF special edition collections

    I saw an EternaLight on eBay; an Xray (not Elite, IIRC) which had 'CPF member's edition', or something similar on the back. The price went out of my budget.....

    Finally got my KL4...

    ...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 posts. Mine develops that 'dark center' that's also fairly common, on one cell. So, 2 cells it is...... but it's *really...

    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...

    let's talk about the eternalight

    Re: let\'s talk about the eternalight [ QUOTE ] turbodog said: Actually the screw repair thing could be done by filling in the hole then drill it out and tap it for a complete new screw, one with machine threads. Or I guess as far as that goes just drill the hole completely through...

    let's talk about the eternalight

    ...QUOTE ] There is a way to do it, but it's a bit tricky, and if you blow it, you are SOL. You need a very good epoxy, like JB weld, (actually, the *only* epoxy I'd trust) and some heavy grease. Fill the stripped hole with epoxy, and screw in the screw, coated with grease. Silicone grease...

    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

    ...want to spend $280 on one, and convince yourself it's worth it, that's your problem. I think it's a piece of crap, and I wouldn't spend a cent on one. If somebody *gave* me one, I'd sell it immediately, and use the money to buy a *good* light, or 3 or 4. Even for free, I still think it's a POS.

    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

    ...simply random, depending on if the adjustment ring had turned or not. But if SF has detents on lowest and highest settings....why not put them on *all* of the settings? Using the appropriate materials, wear would not be an issue at all (like using a Delrin ball fitting into a detent in the...

    U2 (or any long anticipated product) thoughts

    ...SNIP I guess both Bernie and Gandalf don´t have one at hand (yet?) SNIP Klaus [/ QUOTE ] I for one will NEVER own one. Even at a lower price. A *much* lower price. A year late in delivery. So overpriced... well, I've been there. I don't think SureFire is going to sell very many of...

    U2 (or any long anticipated product) thoughts

    ...it was $150, and smaller. But it's still too big to EDC. And SF should have stuck to natural HA. They really, really blew it on the U2, IMHO. *Yawn* Now what was all the exitement about? A big, ugly looking light with an incredibly bad engineering flaw, with a really ugly looking beam...
