I don't consider myself a flashlight enthusiast, but just someone who uses the heck out of flashlights. I had a G2 that I used for a year or more and I loved it. Rocked it hard, dropped it down stairs lit, used it diving, just wouldn't quit.
Someone stole it.
So I went to buy another one but they had all these nicer cooler surefires there....so I ponied up 95 dollars for a E2E. It quit working about 1/3 of the way through the original batteries. I was using it and it just quit. I called surefire and they said it was probably the bulb, even though I said the filament looked fine they said that it could still be burnt out, and that they would send me a new one. It's now been like a week and a half. I'm using a maglight at work every day. I'm not very happy.
I wish I could just have my old G2 back, at one third the price. What if it quit when I was caving or blinked out when I needed it as a weapon light? My faith is shaken. Should I buy another lamp? And carry it everywhere? Or just another flashlight? But I didn't think I had to do that with surefires before. My confidence is gone. It's scary. I don't like the dark
