I love flashlights and I have a couple that are fairly expensive such as a Fenix TK75, and a Nitecore Tiny Monster TM26, and about 30 that are no so expensive. BTW, I bought my TK75 and a few others from Goinggear. Their service is excellent. That being said, this Surefire is ridiculously over priced at $1370. Yes it's nice, but it's something the normal flashlight collector like myself will never buy
Kris Livengood The tech is by no means "old". The thing about SF is that they make really really nice lights, but the price on them is just insane. They are used to getting that good old government money. I seriously don't understand their pricing though. Even if they wanted to price these a few hundred dollars above any of the other lights equivalent to this from other really really good companies the price would be maybe 500-700 dollars. This is 1300? Just no...
martinaee I agree on the price but the LED is in no way a new LED. There are better LED that will get you better light times. Throw an XHP70 or XHP50 LED and you will have an amazing light. but that price is way too much.
Oh believe me I know. I'm a CPF regular. Emitters are relative though. I'm not always as concerned about the absolute "newness" of the emitter. The output and beam pattern were no doubt a factor in choosing the emitter. I wonder what this light would look like with an MT-G2.Kris Livengood
martinaee I have a yezl y3 with close to the same bezel size and I put a Mt-g2 in it and a custom programmable driver running 3450 lumens. it will get hot real fast.
+Going Gear thanks for the advice on the olight m3xs-ut over the nitecore tm36. just placed ordered earlier today with next day shipping since I'm inpatient. thanks for all the reviews
Thanks for the review. I was wondering if you could please review the Eagletac MX25L4C, it's supposed to be 4020 lumens I believe.
Hey Marshal, this is the shorter review, not the extended review... Just noticed that lol. Thanks for the video!
How much does it cost? 3 grand?
Surefire is just way out of the price range of so many other great flashlight makers.
Why so inexpensive? It should cost at least $10,000, because it's a Surefire. Just don't drop it. Surefires usually flunk the drop test.
That's a sweet ass light.. It is a tad bit out of my price range though. Damn you Surefire and your sweet ass expensive stuff!

Wow, this comment is 7 years ago, and today that price is still EXACTLY $1370 lol.
That price is insane.
that is a lot of money for old technology

$1370.00?????????
Damen0530 price is a wee bit more insane that the lumens, ahem.
"Domintaor" It's like "Dominator," but somehow different.
ridiculously overpriced compared to similar lights
