I use Lighthound (www.lighthound.com). Great prices, very quick delivery to the UK, and great customer service

Yep Lighthound gets my vote, and so does using B/S/T. I've also used batterystation, and LED replacements all have provided top service. but Lighthound is probably your choice for SF and your batteries!
There are UK dealers but the range is often limited and prices are stupid,
Happy hunting,

Another vote for John ( lighthound ), I've bought loads off stuff off him going back a few years he's a truely excellent dealer, and I'm pretty sure he can supply whatever you want. In the UK you're looking at Stoppa or Heinnie . I'd avoid them at all costs they're "super-highway" robbers!!.

Lighthound! I bought around 30 lights from him now, he is good!

Some of the prices are crazy but £28.95 or £27.97 for a G2 isn't bad is it? I mean, that's how I'd get a replacement P60 and two SF123A's...
BTW, www.Niton999.co.uk has the G2 at £27.99. I buy much of my 5.11 from Niton and the service is amazing.

It's not bad price unless you compare it to $31 at lighthound and some of Nitron's SF stock looks like old stuff, have a look at the E1 for £60 against the new one at lighthound for $69 (approx £40)
Just to add though I've always got good service from the UK dealers, it a price and stock issue for me.

Its just annoying whenyou phone someone for a specific part and they dont have it, so they contact the distributor and they havent heard of it. I cant see how the uk dealers can be so much worse informed than the us. I guess its the amount of stock they sell. I was told yesterday that it would be a 4 to 6 week wait for an a19 because there arent any in the country. How bad is that?!

Also try www.tacticaltorches.co.uk if you are looking for a UK supplier, they're prices are on the marginally sane side of the equation 
i wish SF you supply to the UK at US prices, that'd RAWK!

I would choose Lighthound, or other ebay source, but if you contact Edgar Brothers, the UK importer, they may have a dealer near you.
I find Niton well stocked, but a bit expensive on some things (like £39 for a B90 battery that I can get from Edgar Brothers M&P for about £14). Niton do have a nice range of things you can't seem to find elsewhere in the UK, like cruisermates, and Gerber E-Z Rip cutters.
Lighthound. Cheaper, even with shipping to UK.

And don't bother trying to order from Surefire direct if you're using a non-US credit card, they don't want your money......
I ended up going with Lighthound too, and I bought Vital Gear parts instead (partly on principle, partly out of curiosity) which I am really pleased with. I cannot recommend John at Lighthound highly enough, a real pleasure to deal with.

According to the UK and other Euro Surefire sellers on Ebay.. "It's near impossible to get a Surefire or batteries in Europe."... LoL... sellers are ****heads worldwide..
