Surefire's Site-Why's the U2 different?

Bradlee · Apr 21, 2006

It always strikes me as strange that the U2 seems much less supported than SF's other lights, in the sense that there are next to no accessories available for it and it appears to be the only light without a user manual. I suppose the fact that it isn't as much of a 'work light' as their other models (more civilian?) accounts for part of this, but I still find it strange.

I guess this isn't much of a question, but perhaps the merely mentioning the U2 will stir up all sorts of contraversy/conversation from the like/dislike parties

Is this really true? Does it ship to you with no manual? That is certainly strange! I noticed they didn't have it .pdf'd on the SF website, but I just assumed that was because they hadn't got to it.

I never did order a U2 even though I seriously considered it when looking for a multi-level light -- went with my HDS instead. So far, still glad I did.

The shipped U2 is sent with a manual.

Mine came with a manual too. There are beam diffusers and traffic cones for it, IIRC.

Well I wonder why they don't post it like the rest?

Thanks again for streeing me to the HDS, ront. My wife was making fun of me playing around with it last night. And my eight-year old son knows the "codes" for turning it on Max, primary, sec, min .... I think he's a flashaholic in the making....

mine came with a manual, also i have an fm64 beamshaper attached, and it is the only SF light that comes with the ability to accept a 18650 Lithium Ion battery.

I'd completely forgotten that I had a user manual in the box-thanks. What I did mean (and stated rather poorly) was that SF's site has no user-manual .pdf posted.

-->That's what I meant.

Never mind...I really didn't have any valid point in this post.
