Newly Enlightened
Hey Everybody!
This is my first time posting here so forgive me for asking if this is a stupid question!
I'm trying to figure out whats so special about surefires, I'm not trying to be sarcastic by any means, I understand they're well built and all, but they seem to fall short when it comes out light output.
Is it that everybody here just mod's them and puts in a better bulb/LED?
I have a few flashlights, an Inova T4, a Night-ops Gladius and a Fenix PD30, but when I look at what surefire has to offer, comparatively speaking, they just seem less bright and more expensive.
E.g.
Surefire L1 Lumamax LED
Lumens: 65
Length: 4.5"
Runtime (at max): 1.5 hours
Price: $160.00
vs.
Fenix PD30
Lumens: 235
Length: 4.6"
Runtime (at max): 1.5 hours
Price: $65.00
I don't mean to offend anyone whatsoever, I figure there must be something that makes surefire so special (aside from quality) and I was hoping someone here would be so kind as to enlighten me. (no pun intended)
