Sometimes I want a light, say from Led Lenser and I ask them to sell me one and they are like on no not in your market. So I hire an Austrian schoolboy, for the sake of this story we will call him A. Hitler since he is a ****wit. At this point I have fees for conversion and sending money to him then I have his tax in Austria and shipping to him and more shipping costs for sending to USA plus his fee and a lot of wasted time. If he sources something he thinks I will like he likes to mark things up many times what a similar item costs and USA. If I complain hes like 'oh some other Americans over pay too, all the time even.'
If I talk some small business in Ireland into sending me stuff I have to pay bank wire fees and they use some small courier that costs a lot more than the Irish Post making the light three times what it costs in England. Then I have to pay for some special plug adapter to charge it.
It is ok to pay a lot for out of market lights. I used both today around the house and enjoy them a lot. I may be the only person in all of North America with these lights.
But yeah get a Surefire. All it takes is for USA to get into it with NATO or some Euro country and maybe the supply gets cut off and the market supply of SF lights dries up.
