FAQ about Sure Fire Flashlight

Sure fire flashlight questions? im looking for a sure fire flashlight with lumens anywhere from 80 to 200 (i know thats a big space) but thre are so many flashlights. not looking to spend more than 200 dollars. if you have had sure fire flashlights before please add input. ones i am kinda looking at are the: 6p LED 6p LED Defender (same just a defence thing on tip) E1L outdoorsman L4 Lumamaxl5 Lumamax and LX2 lumamax. using for camping around house ect I used to really like surefire flashlights, but have found their short battery life a bit impractical for camping use. They are great for short bursts of light for defense or tactical use.
For camping or around the house, I find that a compact rechargeable light is the best bet. Look into the Fenix flash lights, or Nite Cores if you want something compact. LED lights have great battery life, and Sanyo Eneloop batteries hold there charge for quite a while when they are not in use, unlike most other rechargeable batteries that drain pretty quickly on the shelf.

fire department, mystery question? Ok well i was just curious about this but here i go So last night a fire truck came (not sure if it was a truck or engine) and they went about two houses down from mine. They didn't like rush or anything like there was a fire, 2 people walked out with flashlights and went into 2 peoples backyards. Also a police car drove down my street and flashed a flash light out the window like they were looking for something. Then they kind of went around the corner, but i could still see them (kind of hard to explain) and i was thinking there might be something over in the woods (right by there) I was watching them and i saw the 2 men with the flashlights walking in the woods again. Also i saw (idk if it was a flame or not) but this like orange-ish light kind of showed up and then dissapeared after about 1 minute. Then after the fire truck left, a person walked out of the woods. It was about 11:00 pm so, does that have anything to do with it? Also today there are a lot of trucks on my street and they are going into the woods and cutting down some trees? I'm not sure but i just wanted to know what might be going on. No rude answers, thanks. edit:there are no power lines but there are some houses close to the woods so maybe they smelled gas. It is possible, maybe even probable that the fire department was looking into a situation that was thought to be a dangerous situation. Maybe some one smelled gas or perhaps even the limbs of trees hitting against power lines.
The police will show up just to check on the situation and look to see if there might be someone doing something that they shouldn't be doing

Sure Fire flashlights! Where do you get the balls to charge 130$ for a flashlight? Does this thing light your way home? icing: I guess I'm really juist curious what makes these lights so damn good? I don't get the luminers thing. what does that light up? I'm used to something different. I wanna know what I'm getting. They're extremely well, made, sure,
....but 130.00$? I don't think so.
40.00$.....maybe.
If all you need is something bright that will fit in 1"rings,
if I were you, I'd examine the off-brands of tactical flashlights and weapon lights.
They're virtually identical to Surefire.
The first answerer needs to realize that most folks don't have 500.00 to spend on flashlights. Did he make his wife and kids do without to make these extravagant purchases?
Regardless of what he states, the Surefire lights cost the company less than 20.00$ to make. "Just because they can"
has never been a viable excuse for price gouging. That's the same reason dope dealers charge anough to milk addicts dry. That's the reason gas prices will one day soar to 5.00$ and 10.00$ a gallon......I guess he won't mind the gas companies charging him 130.00$ to fill up his tank.....just because they CAN.
Don't be suckered in by claims of superiority by a company that buys it's light sources and switches outsourced like everybody else. Besides the light-source (bulb, LED or array), and the switch, the thing is nothing but an aluminium tube with two caps, a lens, a couple of rubber "o" rings, and a couple of springs.
The real reason they charge so much is that they have so many police and military contracts, and these two types of organizations are famous for overpaying for equiptment.
Before you call me a liar,
...Remember the 600.00$ toilet seat and the 400.00$ hammers?
I've examined examples of both of these infamous overexpendatures personally.
Would the fools that approved paying those amounts for those items also approve paying over 130.00$ for a flashlight?
Whatta you think?
(I notice DSA inc. has a lithium tactical flashlight for 39.95 and "Famous Maker" (off-brand) sells one for 29.95, with 1" rings included. )
And yes, the Surefire will light your way home,
-all the way to the poorhouse!

My wife isn't very supportive of my ambitions; why can't she just be a little more supportive and positive? See, I am an amateur inventor, and I have had many good ideas over the years, but my wife has never tried to support one of my ideas, or express any sort of confidence in me. This really hurts me, especially since it is so obvious that I try so hard. I need her to invest some money to get one of my inventions off the ground, since she is the one who works, but she never has anything good to say about my ideas. Some examples: She told me that my idea for a solar-powered flashlight was the stupidest thing she had ever heard of. I was just crushed. I think that we could be millionaires if she had just invested in my idea, but she demolished that dream. She also didn't like my idea for a microwave self-cleaning bedpan; she said it was dangerous! Can you believe that?! It was a goldmine just waiting to be tapped, but she squashed all my hopes for it, and wouldn't invest a dime. I had been inspired once when I saw a business that had torn out all of their fiberglass insulation, and got to thinking about a way to recycle it all. My idea: recycle all that fiberglass into pretty, bright pink maxi pads. Did she think this was a winner? Hell no! She told me to expect to be celibate for a month over that one. She had a similar reaction to my idea for a vise-grip breast pump. I thought that this would be a real boon to women everywhere, as it would squeeze out a lot of milk in record time, but she just couldn't bring herself to admit it was a good idea. More celibacy for Jack over that one. I got to thinking of ways to help make potty-training easier, but when I unveiled my idea for a line of flavoured toilet papers, she just rolled her eyes and said I was "no Dr. Spock." I don't understand her Star Trek reference, but a lot of what she says doesn't make sense to me as it is. Finally, I had a sure-fire winner, a practical and cultured way to deal with those who have a problem with flatulence: the rectal harmonica. Do you think she saw just how great this idea was? Once again, nope. I sort of think she is jealous because she is married to a genius, and so she just likes to put me down constantly. What can I do to get her to be more supportive? Why do you insist on displaying our private life for everyone to see????
Just because I make a couple of comments that your time might be better spent on a REAL job instead of making me have to work three of them in order to support your "vision", as well as our 7 children and 4 dogs, 2 cats and 3 snakes all of which you just HAD to have.. does NOT mean I enjoy this kind of humiliation.
I balked at these because you wanted ME to be your guinea pig.. and no, I am NOT going to the pet store to buy you some of those.. I have to put my foot down somewhere, Jack.. this is just ridiculous.
As for the rectal harmonica.. I only suggested that YOU try it out yourself, since you happen to be so full of it.

Determining whether Mexican Fire Opal is natural or created? Without having to consult a gem appraiser? Something I should look for? I bought a small fire opal a couple of years ago in St. Maarten, already faceted, medium orange-colored and eye-clean. It has a very slight milky appearance when viewed under a bright light such as an LED flashlight. The larger, trillion-cut fire opal I recently purchased in Mexico (and paid a lot less for, although I think that's because this was set in silver whereas the first one was set in 14K white gold) has a richer color, has a better cut, eye-clean, and has no milkiness whatsoever. I tried lightly tapping the surface of both gems to see if there was any noticeable difference in the 'ping' noise, but they're pretty much both the same. The larger stone has a bit more 'tap' to it than the smaller, but I'm sure the stone size and setting have something to do with that. I tapped against a piece of quartz just for comparison, and neither of my opals sounded like the quartz did. So, aside from glass, is there a way to create a synthetic Mexican Fire Opal? I know it's possible to create some halfway decent fakes of other kinds of opals, but haven't been able to find much about lab-created Mexican opals. I haven't been keeping the older, smaller opal wet, but I never clean it (except for an occasional dry-wipe with a cleaning cloth), and make sure I keep it semi-oily and 'moist' from my hands and from wearing it on a chain. I was always told to never clean an opal, that it's best to let your body oils 'seal' the porous surface to keep them from drying out and cracking. are you letting the fire opal get wet ( room temp water- NOT ever hot) at least once a month to help retain its brilliance?
opals of all varieties have been synthesized experimentally and commercially. The discovery of the ordered sphere structure of precious opal led to its synthesis by Pierre Gilson in 1974.
The resulting material is distinguishable from natural opal by its regularity; under magnification, the patches of color are seen to be arranged in a "lizard skin" or "chicken wire" pattern.
Synthetics are further distinguished from naturals by the former's lack of fluorescence under UV light. Synthetics are also generally lower in density and are often highly porous.
dont smack your opal real or fake against a hard surface- it can shatter

surefire flashlight questions? im looking for a sure fire flashlight with lumens anywhere from 80 to 200 (i know thats a big space) but thre are so many flashlights. not looking to spend more than 200 dollars. if you have had sure fire flashlights before please add input. ones i am kinda looking at are the: 6p LED 6p LED Defender (same just a defence thing on tip) E1L outdoorsman L4 Lumamaxl5 Lumamax and LX2 lumamax. using for camping around house ect I currently have the 6P LED on my firefighting helmet and I am very pleased. Not a lot more I can say about it that Surefire.com doesn't cover, but I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if mine ever broke. The battery life is a LOT longer on the LED version Surefires. I've owned a couple now, and the normal bulbs suck batteries down like crazy. I'd definitely recommend going LED for that reason alone.

I think there's a wild dog eating birds outside of my window. I'm not sure what to do and its dark out.? Is this something I call the local fire department? It sounds like a dog is breathing with difficulty and then I'll hear a sharp scream, from like a bird. I don't want to bother the local police department and my flashlight is broken. It goes quiet for a bit then it starts breathing hard again and I'll hear a yell. I'm in an apartment complex and I think all my neighbors are asleep. I labeled this as Men's Health as a joke, because I'm concerned for my health. What is your problem? Why do you feel the need to interfere with a dog eating a bird? Its not even bothering you. Ok so i'll tell you what to do....go to sleep and stop worrying about the dog.
Do you really think this is a big enough problem to call the police about? Its not against the law for a dog to eat a bird, you know.
And your flashlight's broke? what are you going to do? go outside and do what? Get bit and get rabbis?

Sheriff sees pattern in border agents' cases do you see it ? A Texas sheriff says a 2001 case against another U.S. Border Patrol agent set the pattern that was used by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton in his recent cases against Agents Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos, who now are serving prison terms for shooting at a drug smuggler fleeing back into Mexico, as well as Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez. Rocksprings, Texas, Sheriff Don Letsinger told WND in a telephone interview that the prosecution of David Sipe was "the smoking gun" showing how the U.S. Attorney's office handles evidence "to get prosecutions like U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton has gotten in the case of Ramos and Compean." Sipe was convicted in 2001 for a situation near McAllen, Texas, when he was accused of using a metal flashlight to strike illegal alien coyote Jose Guevara on the back of his head after Guevara struggled and resisted arrest. The charge was using "excessive force and causing bodily injury" in the confrontation during the early morning hours of April 5, 2000. The case would ruin Sipe's career and marriage before it was over just a few weeks ago. A federal appeals court reversed his conviction and ordered a new trial because of prosecutorial misconduct, including withholding exculpatory information from the defense in violation of the Brady rule, and during a re-trial in January, Sipe was acquitted after deliberations of less than an hour. Sipe's attorney, Jack Wolfe, told WND there were similarities between Sipe's case and the allegations against the "Texas 3," former U.S. Border Agents Ramos and Compean and Deputy Sheriff Hernandez, who has been convicted in a prosecution also launched by Sutton of shooting at a van loaded with illegal aliens he thought were trying to run him down. "The federal prosecutors in the Sipe case refused to prosecute Guevara when he was apprehended a second time, caught for transporting illegal aliens by automobile," Wolfe told WND, just as documents suggest that prosecutors failed to prosecute a second offense by Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, the smuggler shot at by Ramos and Compean. Wolve also said the Sipe prosecution was driven by the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington. "DOJ under Clinton sent Fred Menner down to Texas from the Civil Rights Division to make sure this case was prosecuted," he said. Similar concerns have been expressed about the Ramos-Compean case. "At first, the reports from the Border Patrol were that nobody was going to do anything about Sipe's case. The DOJ in Washington was hot," Wolfe said. "They built the fire under the U.S. Attorney's office to get the case going. DOJ Civil Rights got the bit in their mouth and they decided to prosecute Sipe." "The Mexican Consulate footprints were all through the Sipe case," Wolfe added. "The Mexican Consulate wrote letters, they went out and assisted in taking photographs that they turned over to the prosecution. The Mexican Consulate offered to go to Mexico and bring back witnesses. A member of the Mexican Consulate sat through the whole trial." Such requests also were evident in the case against Hernandez, who essentially had been cleared before the demand arrived from Mexico that he be prosecuted. There also have been allegations in the Ramos-Compean case of improper links between those involved in illegal activity, and those connected to the Border Patrol. Likewise in the Sipe case, Wolfe said. "The Texas Department of Public Service pulled over a vehicle transporting illegal immigrants and they found Guevara," Wolfe explained. "DPS called the Border Patrol to respond. The two agents that responded recognized Guevara from the Sipe case. So, they went up the chain of command and the boss of that shift in the McAllen sector made the decision not to send the case over to the U.S. Attorney's office" Wolfe said the Border Patrol boss of that shift and Guevara both ended up being linked to a nefarious character known as the "Goat Man." He was a known alien and dope smuggler who lives in Bonitas, Wolfe said. "The victim worked for the Goat Man. Six months later, when Guevara gets caught again, the Border Patrol official who makes the decision not to prosecute is the nephew of the Goat Man," he said. "The prosecution knew Guevara got caught again," Wolfe said, "and the Border Patrol recommendation was not to prosecute him. The prosecution gave Guevara a pass on the second violation because they didn’t want to weaken the case against Sipe." "The prosecution gave Guevara and the other two illegal immigrant witnesses Social Security cards, border passes, and witness fees," Wolfe also told WND. "The prosecutors became virtually a travel agency for Guevara and the other government witnesses in the case, giving them free air travel to and from Mexico so they could visit family and friends, as well as free phone use to contact their families, whenever they wanted to do so." Letsinger also told WND that he believes information was withheld from the grand jury and trial jury to get a conviction against Hernandez. "I'm reasonably sure that the grand jury was not told there was no physical evidence recovered at the scene to support statements of the government's witnesses and the government's charges," the sheriff said. However, WND was unable to obtain a comment from the U.S. Attorney's office. On February 22, WND reported that Letsinger believed Hernandez did nothing wrong and that the Texas Rangers were not going to recommend prosecution as a result of their investigation. The statements by the prosecution that Gilmer Hernandez had chased the illegals across a pasture, cursing them and shooting at them were completely false," Letsinger told WND. "The Texas Ranger and a federal ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) agent and an ATF dog were taken to that location. That dog searched that location thoroughly and could find no shell casings. When the dog failed to find the shell casings, the officers used a metal detector to search the field thoroughly and failed to find any shell casings." "At trial, the prosecutor insinuated to the jury information that he knew was not true," Letsinger told WND. "He implied to the jury that evidence was tampered with, when there is no evidence of tampering. The physical evidence collected is consistent with Gil Hernandez's version of events." "These immigrants, by their own statements to Texas Rangers, had entered into a criminal conspiracy with an organized crime smuggling organization to enter the United States in violation of the U.S. immigration laws," Letisinger continued. "The difference is that when you enter into a conspiracy, even though you do not know all the conspirators, you are responsible for the [actions] of all the conspirators. So, when the driver attempted to run over Deputy Hernandez, all the parties in the car were now culpable for felony assault charges. "The U.S. attorneys knew everything that was in the Texas Rangers report," Letsinger said. "In that report were the statements of the illegal immigrants that they had entered into a criminal conspiracy. So, prior to trial, Sutton had decided to give all the occupants of the van and all the members of the conspiracy immunity from those felony assault charges." Letsinger told WND that he strongly suspects Sutton would have had no case if the jury had known that the story about Hernandez running through a field, firing his weapon and trying to kill the runaway immigrants was unsubstantiated by evidence. Letsinger also told WND that had the story been true, the Texas Rangers would have recommended prosecution and he would have concurred. WND has reported that the federal prosecution of Hernandez began only after the Mexican Consulate in Eagle Pass, Texas, wrote a series of letters demanding that the Bush administration prosecute Hernandez for injuring a Mexican national, Marciela Rodriguez Garcia. The federal government has recommended a seven-year term for Hernandez at his sentencing later this month. How long have we been begging and petitioning Bush for a pardon? This is all part of a bigger agenda.
The Feds are sending a signal to law enforcement to not do anything about this problem.
The Feds want the votes and Big Business (which owns the Feds) is drunk on cheap labor and the idea of creating new pools of consumers for their products.
It's also part of a plan to dissolve the nation-state. Instead of nations, you have an economic zone where people constantly have to migrate to find work for their expertise. See the book, "The Pentagon's New Map."
The final result?
You will be a refugee in your own homeland as Mexico will eventually own the US by sheer numbers of people.
