3rd ANNUAL SUREFIRE WISH LIST for '08

[KDOG3]

This is my little "bit" I do every year around this time. Drop your Surefire fantasies here....I'll start.

Highpowered LED drop in modules like the ones for G2/6P. Deeper reflector wouldn't hurt either!

SSC powered U2 - with that gorgeous reflector, a SSC at 1Amp on high would be killer. SSC Kroma would be great too.

For the love of all that is holy, Black HAIII your lights! Or at least some of them, like you combat series

Holsters that ride lower on the hip

More spare parts available.

More clothing! T-shirts, hats, etc. Like to see some of the display stands become available as well. Big stickers like for car windows?


All right everybody, have at it! Can't wait to see some of the responses.

My wishlist...

E2D in a LED
Upgraded KL6 (more power less battery consumption)
New body style for the M6 (this one has been around a long time)
Retro 3P LED version
M3, M3, M3T, M4, M6 available in black HA

 

[kelmo]

A build your own light menu when ordering. You choose the head, body, switch, and the emitter.

Example; KT turbohead+9P tube+A19 extender+clickie switch+MN61 LA.

An extra value price for purchasing a light, holster, lanyard, and a fully stocked spares carrier.

And my last years suggestion, a 25 lumen LA for the 6P.

[jcompton]

A weapon mounted tac light (X200A/B, X300) with Laser that is mounted such that the Laser rides closest to the barrel (laser on top, light on the bottom).

 

[Outdoors Fanatic]

I want an extreme high-output L6 Lumamax using an Osram OSTAR driven to the max. I'd also like to have all the current line available in black HA.

 

[NelsonFlashlites]

E3d

 

[depusm12]

SF C3 HA III black w KL3 type head deep reflector and a Cree Q5 or Seoul P4 which ever is brighter. All lights available in a HA III black

 

[Nyctophiliac]

I wish that in 2008, Surefire makes all their products available here in the UK not at hugely inflated prices!!

(Sorry, but really, £60 for a 6P - too much unless you are very rich!)


Also any chance of a red led KL3??


Be lucky...

 

[fieldops]

1. An R binned Cree U2 with a deeper reflector in HAIII

2. A new L6 with R binned Cree

3. A darned headlamp with SSC or R binned Cree! :naughty:

 

[Dr.K]

E2L CREE, L1 CREE, TITAN.

 

[KeyGrip]

I'd like to see that KX5 released, but for what it's promising, I'm willing to wait. Add to that a KX4, lower riding belt holsters (good suggestion), and more color options for the nitrolon lights and I'm a happy camper.

 

[Bushman5]

- minimum of 500 lumens output for all the small lights, (sorry, but i find them just too dim for the price)

Can't a CPF member ship one to you?

Bushman5 - minimum of 500 lumens output for all the small lights, (sorry, but i find them just too dim for the price)

When you say "small lights" what did you have in mind? It sounds a bit enthusiastic considering that a Fenix P3D is only produce 180 lumens. 500 lumens is well beyond what LEDs are generating right now and battery technology wont allow small incans to equal M6 performance.....

SureFire cannot change the tax policies of your country. Maybe europeans should stop electing socialists...

 

[LED61]

Resume production of more Black square A2's please!!

 

[Nyctophiliac]

You're on a roll O.F. !! :nana::thumbsup:

Not quite my point, actually. If Surefire had a broader policy for retailers in this country, more bricks and mortar stores would be able to import Surefire products in larger shipments, thus spreading and reducing the costs of customs and excise, and possibly increasing sales in the UK. Therefore increasing the brand recognition and leading to even more sales over here.Etc,etc,etc...

Oh, and I get my torches cheaper without resorting to internet purchases and waiting for the mailman.

After all, I remember when Maglite was a 'professionals only' type of product back in the early eighties, now look where they are in the marketplace, if you say torch - people produce a Maglite and smile.

( To be honest there have been times when I have produced one and smiled too!!)


Anyone know about the KL3??



Be lucky...


PS - Patriot - good idea, was that an offer??? (Just kidding!)

Amen, brother!! (of course that will make the finish less resistant, but it's too darned sexy to resist).

Bezel down carry clip for the e-series, and the L1/L2/A2 platform.

Funny. I think 500 lumens is sometimes too much. Yes it would be nice once in awhile, but I'm just imagining an E1e at 500 lumens. Cool, but not 100% practical. Maybe runtime would be 2 minutes?

All part Lego adaptability? I'm just imagining a KT1 Turbohead (think M4 or M6) on (again) an E1e. Seems silly. You don't need to be able to swap EVERY part...

Strobe? No thanks. I buy Surefire because they're one of the few companies left who don't screw around with "special" features. You can get a 3rd party strobe tailcap anyway.

Multicolor choices on every light would dramatically increase the number of items to keep in inventory. I'm guessing dealers wouldn't like it, nor would Surefire or the customers who'd have to pay more to even have the choice and cover the extra expense of Surefire and dealers needing to keep more pricey lights in stock.

Otherwise, I guess your other wishlist items are fairly feasible.
