Have a Surefire Z2. That's good.

Lamp burned out within first hour - not good.

Lamp assemblies easily replaced. That's good.

Lamp assemblies not cheap. Not good.

Surefire's response. Very good! :smile: See below:

"We typically expect 20 hours of run-time through a lamp before failure becomes a concern. (That's 20 sets of batteries.) Will be sending you a new lamp assembly at no charge to the address below.

Thank you for your interest in our products.

Premature burnout of Surefire lamp assemblies is a common problem. I have had two of them burn out after about 40 seconds of use. Surefire will replace them for free but, they need to address this problem instead denying there is a problem.

My money now goes to Streamlight. The Scorpion is a better product for the money.
The prices of Surefires have gotten absurd.

Thank you John.

I just had a 6Z bulb go with less than an hour burn time.

JM,

I have a Streamlight Scorpion and like it. The quality of the beam is not as even as the Surefire, but it's rugged and a great value.

Last time I had that problem with not so surefire, took months to solve. I now use Streamlight--have two. GLV

how do the streamlines turn on and off compared to the surefires? is it a push button or a twist top like a maglite?

thanks!

Streamlights have a push button "clicky noise" tailcap switch.
