If what I'm led to believe is so; that's less than a day's work for SureFire if we were to order them all at once rather than spread out over the last two decades...

Kind of obvious but nonetheless very interesting point. I counted at least 60 lights on my shelf. Though I have quite a few scattered across the house and in the car. Now, if only I had enough $$ to get a Hell Fighter.

Ahhh... Malkoff drop-ins and Cree TIRs... is there a pattern here?

That seems pretty significant to me actually. To put it in perspective, I think of it like this:

If a certain group were to discover that it consumed (even over a decade) the amount of beer produced by Anheuser-Busch in a single day, is that not significant?

Sure, its not like this one group consumes 50% or anything like that, but its still a pretty sizable chunk.
 
Wow...looking at the poll, seems like the people who participated all adds up to many Surefires.
1,760 to be exact, at this current stage and assuming those who own 10 or more is calculated conservatively as 10 only.

On the other hand, the number would double if we add in DeFab's amount.

Only if you consider something like 0.02% significant.

Ok, lets look at this percentage.

I assume you got it by 1 / 365 (actually 0.27%, not 0.02%). I am assuming that surefire doesn't work 24/7/365, but has a normal production schedule, allowing about 220 production days per year. IF this is the case, it is closer to 0.45%. But these numbers assume that they make 2111 lights per day, which could be lower than actual.

Judging by Size15's comment, I am also assuming that while our total in this thread is less than a single production day, it is close. So lets say they make 2500 lights, average, per work day (I am guessing here. If someone has a closer number, please let us know).

Also, we have had 317 votes in the poll. I would think that we actually have a lot more members here that own surefire flashlights. I don't think that it would be presuming to much to say that the members here own at least twice the number reflected so far. I could be much more, or much less in reality.

SO, 2500 lights per production day, times 220 days, is over half a million lights per year (550,000 - does anyone know if this is anywhere close to their actual annual production?).

And if we do indeed have twice the number of surefires as is reflected in this poll (making it 4222), it would represent 0.77% of Surefire's annual production.

Not a huge percentage by any stretch, but it is significant. Just based upon the number of people posting in this thread compared to ACTIVE members of CPF, I bet we are actually closer to 1%. And a lot more than 0.02%.
 
For all I know this could be closely guarded information and not available to the public, so it might be that we cannot get exact figures.
