[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1452183, member: 7629"] 4seven is an early CPF'er like myself ... he worked with Fenix and was responsible for early promotion and technology transfer from Candlepower Forum to Fenix flashlights. 4sevens went on to start his own line of flashlights. really surprise to see all the garbage functions on his lights. most folks have no use for SOS, strobe, etc... all it does is gets in the way. with advances in li-ion and LED emitter technologies... have long passed stage where flashlight puts out more light than is usable. flashlight usability, reliability and runtimes are way more important and bells and whistles. all the Chinese flashlight mfg get too carried away with wild lumens claims and useless features that gets in the way. if all fairness ... Chinese flashlights have come a long ways in a very short time. they have become cheap, reliable with high quality. without getting into handmade USA custom flashlights costing $400+.... usability and quality is where Surefire still excel. They have the largest $$$ R&D budget in the world and it shows with all the innovations and they charge accordingly. [/QUOTE]
