Nope. Sometime last year (I wish I could find the thread), I said that no one would see any "product" until Q2-2003. I got my nuts busted big-time and was put thru the ringer for that comment. Well, Q2 is less than a week away.

The forum seems to punish talk without product worse than waiting for a product. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

you're right. i also know surefire is not happy with its future competition one bit. it's well knows amongst sf's distributors if you carry strategos you will not carry sf. nice threat /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

I will say it again. I like Surefire lights, but I have no love for the Surefire Company. At some point, they will realize that public perception can be more important than temporary income.
I welcome competition. The G2 price drop I attribute to competition. It will be interesting to see how the playing field looks after Strategos steps on it, especially considering their perspective as users before they were retailers.

.... all irrelevant, until such time that there actually is a 'Strategos Product".

Hey guys.
Our first releases will not be earth shattering in terms of technology...they do not need to be. Great lights, reliable, well priced. We are going to try and get of to a good start by establishing a good relationship and reputation with our current and future customers and endeavor to keep that in constant view. Rather than bite off the whole thing and choke, we are going to focus on creating a few excellent systems and move from there as resources permit and market communicates to us.
Fundamentals:
1st Phase 6-volt lithium battery sytems – 2 sizes
Lamp Assemblies:
95 lumens - A patented shock isolated technology on the Lamp Assembly - This thing takes a beating and keeps shining.
Quality control on the lamps is extremely high
Lamp replacement will be well priced
Clean, bright, white beam focus and shaped for tactical environments
Guaranteed Waterproof to 30 meters – tested to 60 meters no leaks
Easy to replace Pyrex lens
Cool carrying device(s)
Aircraft Aluminum Body/Head
Type III Hard Ano Finish – Black
Great Momentary/Clickable Tailcap Switch
Laser Engraved Logo/Name
Final body designs will be simple. The more technical machining, the higher the price….It's that simple. We are going to go for function first, style second.
2nd Phase: Polymer 6-Volt Systems
Developing 9-volt systems as well as Modular Weapons Systems that include a wide array of switching options. Other weapon systems are already in the queue.
We are not interested in being followers for too long. So in that spirit we are already pushing the technical envelope in a couple of areas. Once the prototypes are done, we are going to rigorously test them with end users and release if successful. I am extremely optimistic on a couple of concepts.
We will also forge ahead in the rechargeable area as well.
Not bad considering we made the decision to develop our own line fairly recently.
I hope to have the first releases ready for purchase/distribution by the end of Q1 – 2003.
We have the capability to ramp up production substantially in relatively short periods of times if these initial systems turn out to be popular. Game on--------------------
Respectfully, Ken J. Good
President of Strategos International

Amen. I could do with the open sale of spares parts for my SF's but I also anticipate the release of the Strategos lights greatly.
