Perhaps this is to encourage local dealers and retailers in a wide variety of international markets?

I already told you that there is NO local dealers in my country, or in the countries around my country.

The nearest one is in the United States!!!

I am confident that ICON is being targeted at a far broader more mainstream market than SureFire and as such there is far greater potential for a wider range of dealers and retailers in parts of the world that have little demand for SureFires.
The next question would be "So when?" to which I suggest that if one can not wait then alternative arrangements would appear to be necessary to ensure more prompt instant gratification is satisfied!

I hope you´re right...

Anyway, I will come back to tell you if you were right or not. :thumbsup:
 
Vox Clamatis in Deserto... do you think it puts more than 50 lumens ? I mean... Does it has those underrated lumens ?
 
Here are my first impressions:

Well, it's probably not overrated, I just have a few other lights and no equipment with me to judge the output. I wonder why only alkalines are specified, Surefire is famous for not supporting rechargeables in their 123 lights. Of course, they do sell CR-123 batteries.🙂

Check out Bernie's terrific review on the link posted above. He tried the wife test with great success. His observations are similar to mine in other areas from what I read.

I do like the light.

Well, I'm in Alyeska myself for a day, I guess I've now got one of the first Icons to land on U.S. soil. I can hear the snowplows grinding in the predawn darkness.

Here's the quake I felt the other day in Japan:

Now, if I can just get back down to the lower 48 before that volcano blows!

And, if not, I've got my trusty green Icon to guide me.

May have to get a few of these for the wife & daughter. Was considering G2L's but this may be more in line for them due to ease of use - and if lost, not to big a bank breaker.
 
I've got a SF Kroma Mil-Spec at home which is advertised to be about 60 lumens, I'll see how it compares to the Rogue 1.

Checked the Kroma vs. the Rouge 1 last night. The Kroma appears noticeably brighter. I've got laser power test equipment but don't have anything that will measure an LED light.

The Icon looks slightly greenish compared to the Kroma but the tint isn't apparent unless you compare them side by side. Of course, for what the Mil-Spec Kroma costs it should have a pretty good tint. Still, three hours on one AA with the Icon is a lot better than one hour on two CR123's with the Kroma, an indication that the technology has improved (and that the Kroma was designed by a government committee).

I'm home, the power was off with the ice storm, but again, sadly it was back on by the time I arrived.🙂

I would prefer to compare output/runtime charts rather than numbers.
That said, with SureFire updating a variety of models I suspect that the Kroma series may be on their list too.

Anyone know of any Canadian retailers that will carry the ICON lights?

I was talking to someone I know that works the flashlight & knife counter at one of the local Surefire dealers here.
He hasn't even heard of these lights yet.

He said if they do get them, they probably wouldn't show up in their catalog until their mid-year update.
 
I'm guessing he is referring to the retail company's catalog and not a Surefire catalog. IIRC Surefire releases 1 set of 2 catalogs per year in the early first quarter.
