Okay the weekend BEFORE Hurricane Wilma ripped thru my area, I went to a gun show and went looking for my favorite SureFire Dealer who said he'd stopped carrying SureFire. He said he was going with the next BIG THING: Pentagon Lights had taken surefire and "OUT ENGINEERED" that product. Said that the 82nd Airborne had tested the product and that frankly for the duration of this test spare bulbs were not included yada yada yada. So I bought the equivalent of a SureFire 6P with a xenon bulb...about $65.
First problem I noted was uneven contact with the tailcap actuator switch. It seemed to require pressure from the middle of the button and it required a strong force. But okay, maybe it just takes getting used to.
Next: The storm hit and Miami Dade County was plunged into darkness and it was getting hairy at night...even with a curfew. I needed that LIGHT! So when the first set of Pentagon supplied batteries died....I replaced them with the new proprietary batterys. NO LIGHT. NOTHING----- DEAD BULB. If this had been a hostile situation (no shortage of those in a DISASTER ZONE!!) I and my family might be dead. I'm going back to SureFire.
