Apparently God does have a sense of humour...

I called Surefire today inquiring about catalogues etc. and found out that the facility had undergone some type of power failure. What I was told, was that a post had been hit and as a result all power in the building had gone out. The lady on the phone and I had a great laugh based on the irony, and she noted that everyone had a light on them (surprise, surprise). :lolsign:

Now that is roffles.

LOLLERSKATES!

they do have plenty of Surefire flashlights + primary CR123A for the black out

It seems that there would be some expectation that flashlights be plentiful at a company that is manufacturing flashlights.
I think it would have been funnier if people were running around the building trying to find flashlights, or had 2D plastic lights with dead batteries.

LOL


I bet it was brighter in there after the power went out!!

LOL< thats what I was thinking...:laughing:

So the real question is, what were most of the employees using as their "go to" lights? G2s? 6Ps? Beasts?

I hope no body took out a non-Surefire light from the pocket. :laughing:

lol every employee with a beast

I did ask if anyone had used a Beast but only received laughter as a response, even though a small part of me was actually seriously curious .
The lady on the phone did say however, that she had used her G2.

Maybe it was a preparedness drill! I bet PK had a hard time deciding what light to get from the zillions in his office desk.

question is how long till they run out of batteries, and/or bulbs?

...funny thing would be the surefire factory coming out from the darkness in a blaze of glory -- then blinking out a couple hours later.. :candle:

probably wont happen in the assembly hall...no batteries? grab another light out of the shipment box and discard the one your using

blown bulb? just re-pot one with that machine there. from the promo videos, the lamps are potted by hand

Wonder how much of an employee discount they get?


Slightly off topic: I was throwing out some old gun mags I've had around since 1988 and was thumbing thru them one last time. Saw an ad for the Laser Products Surefire 6P. Retail was almost exactly the same as it is today. So hat's off to Surefire for keeping the prices low!

...not without electricity!

(..and I guess it wouldn't blink out -- that would be the Inova factory..SF would just dim to a pale yellow as it faded away..)

I've wondered the same thing.

In fact one of my life's ambitions is to hook up with a girl working at either Surefire, Spyderco, or Kershaw :twothumbs . Travelling to either California, Oregon, or Colorado would get expensive, but imagine how sweet birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas would be???
