This model has been a disappointment. SF is running too much current thru the LED; the heat issue is enormous after only a few minutes of running. And I'm on tailcap number 2, as they keep failing. Can't recommend.

I'm surprised by this. I've always thought Surefire's tail cap switches were tip top. Do you think the light is pulling more current than the switch can handle?
Here we go!

Today, someone I know well of, out of curiosity, and maybe being too obligated, sent an email to surefire to:1-sort out when df ib will be available 2-how surefire regarding tailswitch issue. It seems surefire declined to admit such malfunction, or they secretly fixed it, or such only occured to certain early lots. Interestingly, surefire seemed very preserved of their tecnical and marketing information, preventing any addressee from redistribution. My friend in his turn CCed this to me, but I decided to post them here, since no law implies to surefire's statement of information using terms.

But I now feel a bit nervous:thinking:
So you guys don't tell surefire this post!!!
Please review Rule 12 @jackman1 and edit your post accordingly ....
All done. Now simple and clear. Thanks for the reminder.
I was just about to order this light, but after reading this thread again, I'll pass....and...tailcap three is toast...waiting for word from SF to send the whole light in, not just receiving another tailcap. The light was on for five or so minutes. Then it won't shut off, and the cap has the burnt electronics smell to it. Just for info, the light is drawing 5.4-5.5 amps, then dropping to 5 amps after a few minutes.
