I'm wondering why they are so cheap. A terrible thought has crossed my mind that Surefire may be producing lights in China, etc.... I have no idea if that is the reason mind you, but I certainly hope not.
I have a stratum and love it.... and have gotten some good use out of it over the past couple months. Look at these like a good compliment to your arsenal, not something that makes you regret a prior purchase. I will likely get a 6PX pro.Don't I feel like a dumb-*** buying the Stratum now.
Although it might be possible that they were outsourcing labour to China, another thought crossed my mind. Some moderator wrote in another post regarding a cheaper light means that they are cutting costs somewhere else. It might be possible that it is through labour, but it might also be in the processing, the quality of materials, build quality, etc...
I just ordered the 6px pro from lapg and they charged me for shipping even though it's supposed to be free has anyone else had that happen?
Think this light will still fit in the Z70 holster? Also, why do you think it is not on the surefire website yet?
I remember reading somewhere that you can't play lego with them .
So with these fixed heads and the KX4 (complete LED module and head), are we beginning to see the demise of the ever popular P60 drop-ins? If so I am super bummed out. Modularity is part of the appeal of buying the Surefire line.
Anyone else concerned about this trend? I hate non-modular lights that will prevent the creation of one off customs. I think I have one all-factory light. The rest have been modified in some way. I hope Surefire reconsiders this trend.
There's always the option of using the incan versions of the light. I heard they will be making them for the foreseeable future.
...It seems fairly obvious that incandescent systems are going away like the dinosaur so this isn't a surprise move but it does make one wonder what will happen to products near it in price and features...
Not with people who believe the following to be true continuing to grow in number
Sorry flashlightboy, not meant to pick on you but I believe those who see incans as fading dinosaurs are what is pushing the loss of modularity.
LED's have a long life and don't need regular replacement like incans so who needs the light emitters to be modular and replaceable? This I believe is the type of thinking that may be entering Surefire design brains.
