hi,
i have got a new surefire U2 #04112. its number 19 in my surefire collection
this flashlight is the one with the most defect parts. first the clickie tailcap was not working as it should. the light would not turn on or off when i pushed the button. i called surefire cs and they told me they will send me a replacement tailcap (great cs).
i was not so impressed with the brightness from the new U2. compared to my KL4 the beam was less bright and more yellow.
i tought i lost the luxeon lottery with the U2.
a german cpf member (spacemarine) told me he had the same problem with one of his U2`s and that in his flashlight there was condensed water in the head.
it can be seen when the head is getting hot and the lens cools down first. the lens gets foogy from the inside.
the one with the water in the head has only 70-80% output compared to a normal U2.
same thing with my new U2
this 300 $ flashlight has more defect parts than my cheapo from hongkong.
i have send surefire customer service an email yesterday for a RMA# but still got no answer from them.
that realy sucks.
i love my L4 and use it on duty. all the other 18 surefire flashlights are great. but the most expensive U2 # 04112 is a piece of junk. hate to say that.
greetings from germany
