Hey Sasha, is that 'fear not the dark' Surefire's actual new slogan? Very nice indeed if it is /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
As much as I do not like the new developments with Surefire sales, they really are quality products, and except for a personal issue I have with them in terms of water resistance (I really want to know what they are rated for /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif ) I will continue to purchase and operate them.
I have been in contact with Surefire Customer Service twice over a problem with my B90 batteries, as well as a 'prematurely' blown p60 lamp. Both times the items were replaced without question, and customer service was excellent. You can't get any better than that. And along with what I have seen of Arc (I don't own an Arc), in my opinion, they are truly up there as the best flashlight manufacturer.
I'm dissapointed with their sales policies, but it won't prevent my future purchases, it will only possibly reduce the number of Surefire products that I purchase in the future.
