Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Early Inova and Surefire lights were fun.
  • I carry a Surefire now I really want the long throw to be able to pierce out into the darkness.
  • Unless something has changed, surefire has been just as good to me as streamlight. I got a surefire replaced after dropping it from a ladder onto a tile floor and killing it like a year into owning it.
  • when you try to explain tint and CRI they just try to get you to buy a surefire 😂
  • I love my wurkkos lights but I have a surefire on my pistol and a Streamlight on my rifle and a warrior mini 3 that I keep in my backpack.

Cons

  • Then again I got into flashlights when Surefire was basically the only option and you paid a dollar per lumen lol.
  • Of course if your buying Surefire or Malkoff, then it’s a drop in the bucket anyway I guess.
  • But even Olight and Surefire, which often garners negative posts on here.
  • I was told by a friend that Surefire lights had this design originally

I love the color of the anodizing and the way the flight light bodies are milled. Just does something for me, even if they aren’t the brightest lights in the world.
