Well, here soon I will have my experience, I had my order placed before you posted. Hopefully, my experience will be better.

I have heard that supposedly fixed the bulb-drop issue. Here is to hope, because you are right, they ARE expensive.

Good luck Somekid....
Evader1:The streamlight stinger is pretty bright for what it is..granted its old and has been around 10 yrs,spec wise surefire's compatible light has higher lumens and candlepower,but side by side I honestly couldnt tell the diffrence..
I must add that im talking about personal lights/duty lights that get alot of use..and that I prefer Streamlight for that particular use...
As for a tactical light/weapon light,where you arent using it alot ,and you would like the blinding white light..i would have to say Surefire is better..even though I still dont think they are that durable..

GoW I know what you mean about using the light. I wouldn't use that for anything I need extended light for. It's far to powerful and bright. In the field I usually go with a smaller Mag-Lite or something like that. But for emergencies and what not I keep my Surefire. The little sucker does get hot though
