Re: Cheers to Craig at Illumination Supply!
Well, Once again, illumn.com has shown the total advantage by ordering from them. A defective battery inside a ~4 month old Nitecore NU20 was promptly replaced with another. We're talking days for a resolution as opposed to weeks from other retailers.
A suggestion:
Consider signing up for their newsletter for occasional specials, and check with them when purchasing flashlight related items. You may find a competitive price with the big boys overseas, or just decide you would rather have the confidence that if something should go wrong, a resolution will happen in a timely manner without an unreasonable hassle.
Very few companies get this endorsement from me. I have no financial connection with illumn and have always paid them for products (admittedly did get some good deals in the past)
