Hello,
This is my first post.
I recently was able to acquire a Surefire Def 1. I'm current military and was able to get this thing for free. Not to bad.
These lights originally made it to our unit in a strange way. Darpa(A cute lady) happened to be testing portable runway lights. My buddy was running the test for them and struck up a conversation with the Darpa lady. She showed him a Def 1 as he was running around with a G2. My buddy told her he wanted one.
She handed it to him and said, "It yours. What's your address?" Now get rid of the dirty minds. Darpa lady says, "I'll send you more for testing." Now this was the same test I'm sure you all are familiar with. The questionnaire is actually inside the box along with the instruction manual.
She sent him about 30 lights in all. They included Def 1, 2, and 3's. The only thing she wanted in return was the feedback. These lights were given to individual Marines and were used in a variety of countries both friendly and hostile. My buddy forgot about this one and recently discovered it at work. It's mine now.
Picture time.
G2 w/SKU1447. Notice the spill on this light. The tree on the left is 7-8 feet tall. Distance to the end of the culvert is about 40 yards.
eta: f3/5 .6s for both pics
Def 1 on High.
Box, Instructions, and questionnaire.
