Surefires in CPF

[Lightraven]

If I had bet my life on my Surefires, I'd be dead.

Nothing is perfect or perfectly reliable. In addition to the 2 issues Monocrom mentions were premature dead bulbs--sometimes exploding into glass powder. This was such a problem with the MN20 (M6 LOLA) that it was recalled for about a year.

I own about 5 Surefire lights, including an X-300, and use them for patrolling. If one goes down (and they have), I deploy another.

25+

I voted 6.

In order of purchase over 5-ish years:

E1e
E2e (bored out for 17670s in 2008)
G3 (black)
9P
G2L (yellow)
6P (satin grey) [Strictly speaking I didn't need this at all, but it looked so nice...!]:kiss:
​

Also have an old KL1, and a KL4, plus various Surefire and LF lamps, plus Fivemega 2x 18650 P series body and some P60 sized custom bi-pin lamp assemblies and E series bi-pin lamp assembly. Enough Lego parts to make more combinations than I could possibly need. The E2e is the most used by far and rides EDC in my coat pocket, but I keep swapping around the battery/lamp combinations because I never seem to settle on what I really want.
Rough translation: I've got these parts and I aim to use 'em all. :twothumbs

Just one. L1 cree.
the E2DL is calling me...

I've just been lucky I guess. I wouldn't use the E series lights for anything besides general stuff so I really wouldn't know.

I've owned a number of Surefires over the years and they have all performed well and never broken or failed on me.

I guess I speak from experience. That's all I can do really.

However, I'm not talking anymore this thread is so off topic I don't want to help close it.

I have 0

but I plan to order more than 10+ in the future. :thumbsup:

 

[DieselTech]

I just went and counted, I have nine. There are a few more I'd like to have, but I don't need them. Then again, out of the nine I have, only three get regular use...

 

[sappyg]

i have 5 SF's. i have only 5 b/c i can't afford 6.
i like this thread. i actually went and counted my entire meager flashlight collection and discovered that SF's are nearly 1/2 of my collection.
i voted in the poll. the #'s that blow me away are the 10 or more crowd.

Well, they do make the 6P-N for divers...

"This is the same exact light as the Original Surefire 6P but with better O-Rings to make it waterproof." Retail price: $125.00 😱😱😱

Holy crap! Those must be some special o-rings to account for the price difference. :shrug:

Let's leave SureFire's 'N-Certification' for the threads we already have on this interesting topic.

 

[325addict]

within a week, I will have ordered an E1e.... as long as it it still available! They are not in the new catalog anymore.... discontinued??
That will make a meager three SureFires for me then.... more to come!
A C2 and A2 for example... and an E1L of course 🙂

Timmo.

 

[KSC001]

I have 19 Surefire's.

 

[Radio]

3 or 4 hundred, I lost count after 200. :nana:

 

[Federal LG]

Total updated on post #16 !

(also with Radio´s 300 SF lights)


:wave:

Well, Im almost about the same as you.. But just a minor change, take away the hundred..😗

I only have 3 now. A G2, 6PDL and a Backup. Even Im broke after buying all these!

How do you guys get so many??? How many years has it been for u guys to get like over a 100?

 

[JJV]

I posted over 10. I'm at work so I am not 100% sure, but memory tells me I have 13.

And yes, I counted those I use with Malkoff drop-ins or the one I just had Milky mod. If someone was to ask me what kind of flashlight it was, I would say "It's a SureFire I had someone modify for me", or "a SureFire with an aftermarket LED", so I included them based on those criteria. :nana:

 

[Federal LG]

No problem JJV.

Thanks for the info! :thumbsup:

Around 1984 Surefire lights in CPFer´s hands!
