Rogue Flashlights by ICON

[Bruce B]

I found this new flashlight brand Icon linked on the Surefire Korea website.

Here is the link (translated) to the Surefire Korea site.

These little lights look pretty cool...

Enjoy!

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Interesting.....

Size15's

Administrator has changed his avitar to this logo.

and a couple of quotes (hints?) from him ...

"No mention of an AA-powered handheld? :thinking:" and
"I believe SureFire's brand is based on the SF123A battery and there is no need for an AA-powered flashlight to have SureFire on it as SureFire have enough to be getting on with.

Sounds like Surefire maybe is venturing into the AA market under a new name?

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

I was thinking the same thing. They look interesting.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Here is an actual website...

http://www.myiconlight.com/

I thought this might be a UK brand because of Size 15s endorsement (avatar), but it looks like it might be a new consumer offering funded by Surefire. Probably less expensive, non-US made, etc.

Should be interesting.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

It seems this is going to be a new brand owned by SureFire which is made in China? A Sister Company...

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Has anyone tried to read the translation? Somewhat incomprehensible.

I kid not, this is actually in there:

[FONT=돋움]This, in fact, in other parts of China, but also that it is possible that you can see my ***.[/FONT]
​

I guess we will just have to wait for more info.

By the way, while the lights look cool in some photos, the lanyard is butt ugly!

Maybe the translation is talking about the lanyard also?

Touche! I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

The Icon Rouge 2 looks good. 100/10 Lum @ 3/10 hours in 3 colors.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

There are a few on e-bay. Search "icon rogue LED". That sure is a big icon on the icon's bezel.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Does anyone have one? The only two references I've seen on CPF are the comments on Size15s sig and this thread. Interesting lights though. A budget SF could do well.

Surefire? Use AA?

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Looks cool I wonder if anyone other than ebay will sell it.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

We need Size15s to chime in on this thread. I'm sure he has the facts!

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

I did a quick WHOIS check on surefire.com and myiconlight.com, and while Icon's site has all WHOIS info protected, both domains are hosted on NS1 and NS2.SANDIEGOMEDIA.COM. Surefirekorea.com is hosted on servers in Korea, but that Icon site looks like it's coming from the same folks that work on the main SF site.

If they are telling me to find their *** I don't think they will find my money!

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

If my wife doesn't take to EDCing an E1B I think the lime green Rogue 1 will finally put her over the edge. They look like interesting offerings, and if they have inherited the build quality and materials quality from Surefire then I will be picking one up. The EX10 I had was "too complicated" for her, so a simple two stage light may well be just what it takes to get her carrying.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

This light screams Surefire all over it. The same "FCCe" lettering styling, the same "Caution, Hot Surface", and they put it up against many of the popular Surefire models.

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Yeah... they´re made by Surefire, but using this new brand name "Icon".

Look here: http://www.lightgallery.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=039000000004

And the info:
Name: ICON Rogue 2 Black
Manufacturers: SUREFIRE
Multi-purpose LED light Price: ₩ 125,000
Place of Origin: China OEM

That´s funny...

My dream is a Surefire factory in China, to decrease their prices, but they sure would have to deal with a lot of preconception that exist about chinese products.

So, they create a new brand name!
That´s an awesome marketing move!
I´m curious about those new lights... they look sweet!

I just wish they have "Surefire lumens".

If my numbers are correct, their prices in this Korean site are:
Icon Rogue 2 - 2xAA = 93 US. dollars.
Icon Rogue 1 - 1xAA = 73 US dollars.

So... what do you guys think ?

In time: great find, Bruce B !
