I'm confused. I see so many positive comments about Surefires, but other than its being nice for Americans to support American-made products, what is the attraction of Surefires?
theres this engineering essence to it....Not sure how you would call it, primarily based on the design of the light itself, not judging on the performance RELATIVE to other companies. Surefire itself is a relatively new company compared to say Mag Instruments, yet almost every model created have been accepted as a benchmark for quality, build, etc...not so much for performance as third party material such as lamps were used to boost their performance.
You'll find mixed results if you make inquiries as to whether their quality so much better than that of a Fenix or OLight. But one thing is for certain, Fenix et al's quality has been pretty much on par with surefire which makes any non-biased comparisons very hard, up to now several threads that appear with fenix vs surefire has been locked due to ad hominem attacks.:shakehead
before fenix et al...Surefire used to be "the best money can buy" lights, now I cannot say with certainty whether that reputation can still hold up to its name, with all these other reputable companies about....it ends up being a "brand name loyalty/mental trap" issue.
this would be off topic should discussions like this continue here, your welcome to start a thread but be ambiguous as to what your comparing to as stated before, surefire vs fenix usually end up in the dustbin around here.
Congrats to your E2DL~!:thumbsup:
