I bought the U2, a brave decision on my part i though, since its dogged with problems, but i thought, no, ill get a U2, the 6 stage light with good flood is exactly what i need.
It came in the post last thursday, I opened it and switched it on, worked, i was well chuffed. A few days later... u guessed it, problems, problems, problems..
1. Donut hole, yes its got a donut hole, hardly noticable, so slight its almost as if your eyes are playing a trick on you, but its there. But it doesnt really affect the performace of the light, it still lights up things a treat.
2. Dust behind glass, yes its got that 2, but not really detrimental to the preformance, so I let that go aswell.
3. Yes the achiles heal of the U2, the TAIL CAP! At first it was only a bit sticky, but as a days use or so has gone it, its now jamming stuck on and off and not working properly.
I will be ringing Surfire up when i get home (dont have the torch of packaging with me at moment so will have to wait) to get them to send me a replacement.
Although im tempted to buy a clickie meant for another torch and fit that, is that possible? it wont match i know, but ill have a backup for when the U2 one goes again.
They must have a complaint with every single U2 clickie they sell, surely it warrants a recall or something??
P.S. if i tell them im not happy with the donut ring and dust they would replace the unit entirely? or is that just me dreaming?
Well thanks for listening to my rant
from an almost crying :mecry: CPF'er

. Glad you mentioned the tint though, I thought id read about it being green in a review, but when i got mine and it wasnt i dismissed it.
