Ok first couple of months they were fantastic. No complaints.
Lights in question were an RRT-0 and a Jet-I Pro V3.
After a couple of months, the Jet-I Pro V3 just quit working. It works great for a while but it's a piece of junk designed for a short life span.
The RRT-0 kept going...
To the guys looking for an OP reflector, I ordered two from BugOut Gear and had to wait a few weeks for the manufacturer to send them to BugOut but they're finally in the mail to me now.
I don't think they have many of the OP reflectors available but give them a call and ask.
Curious to know...
Not sure but the US Postal Services flat rate Global Priority box which allows up to 4 lbs / 2 kg goes for about $54 these days.
It was about $30 to $35 for the same box a couple of years ago.
Re: Surefire A2 Aviator
When is SF introducing an all LED A2 and are there any details about it yet? Is it still going to be an A2 in size and shape?
I knew they intended to make the UA2 and UB2 but those are quite a bit bigger than an A2.
Interesting.
For the first time ever a security guy in Australia picked up and looked at the front end of my A2 when getting on a flight to the USA two weeks ago. The TSA in San Francisco though didn't even notice it.
Also it's about time those morons enforced some existing rules on lithium...
I've tried other lights, most recently a NiteCore Defender Infinity, but none compare to Surefire.
Surefires work and Surefires are user friendly. Surefires are designed to be ergonomic and operate according to KISS principles. Surefire lights come with a lifetime no questions asked warranty...
Forgot to mention, I ordered two of the Nitecore Defender 1 x AA lights, hopefully they will be ideal for this work. Unfortunately I'm about to disappear for months the day after they arrive in the mail so won't be able to report on how useful they are.
The best one is the Surefire A2 with a white low beam and if red is desired put a flip up lens cover on it. Downside is the A2 uses CR123A's which are expensive in Oz and CASA regulations prohibit carriage of more than two spare lithium batteries. The A2 has both low and high settings with an...
Surefire costs double the USA retail price in Oz and unfortunately Surefire has the nasty policy of not letting their dealers sell to other countries. Check CPF for the Surefire dealers in Hong Kong though because I think they ignore the SF sales policy.
Thus far I haven't found any place in...
Thank you all for the rapid responses, I wasn't aware of another thread already in place.
I intend to get one of these even if a 2xAA tube is delayed or unavailable. It looks like it should be nice and simple and idiot proof.

Back in the USA for a short while and it's time for my biannual CPF post.
Does anyone know if the Ra Twisty is available yet? I would like to preorder one but can't do that because I don't know where I'll be at delivery time.
Also curious if this light will have a pocket clip and if anyone has...
I'm an American married to an Australian and I don't think I'd want to pack a knife anywhere in Sydney.
I do however carry a Victorinox Swisstool RS multitool on my belt regularly and the only occasions any NSW police ever approached me all they wanted to do was to check my train ticket.
Not...
