200 lumens is probably too much, given the purpose of a weapon mounted light. Lighting up a white wall in a house(never mind a mirror) with 120 can sometimes be on the limit of what your eyes can handle.
You could also argue features vs nessessity. I don't need a "sos" feature because I can reproduce it myself. Less features make it more user friendly because I'm not bypassing 7 different modes I don't want to activate in order to get to what I need.
@clap5 Hesistant to bother with the comment as the vast majority of surefire controls are very simplistic, so I don't think the complexity argument is valid.
well if you have $600 kicking around then go for it. I'd rather spend the money on a new pistol. Also...I'm not a "tactical operator" so I just need the more general modes anyways. Like I said...I'm not knocking surefire...I just think there's other, more affordable options. I'm personally a fan of Nitecore products. To each his own.
I want to show alternate opinions such as your own, but I also think others should know the vast majority of surefire lights are nowhere close to costing $600
@milspecmonkey 165 for my e2dl defender. 200lumens high/ 5 low. never could ask for a more perfect light. it weighs nearly nothing, no joke... surefire or nothing.. i live by that now.
@clap5 id disagree. fenix is great for camping and the like, but a surefire can literally be run over by a tank and still work. many people have these stories.
They are the best...and they cost like the best....LOL
I have the 6p led Defender in a LaRue LT 707 inline tac light mount....
I will give them a 10 out of 10.

Fenix lights are great but I'd love a surefire, the build quality looks exceptional

@clap5 surefires, have been known to survive IED explosions........can a fenix light bring you that?

Great overview of the surefire line. Nice job on the video and Ron does an outstanding job of running through functions and features.
Thank you sir,
