I've had a SureFire L7 LumaMax® for over a year now, and it�s the best investment I've made.

I was recently on a boat crossing the Bering Sea. We ran into heavy seas throughout the entire trip, but on day four we hit some truly horrific waves. Our hull warped and cracked, and we were taking on water — a lot of it. I shoved shirts and anything else I could grab at the time into the crack in the hull. I started placing pieces of wood over the crack, but I ran out of wood and needed one more piece about six and a half inches long to go across from the hull to the bulkhead...a piece of wood about the same length as my L7.

I shoved the L7 between the hull and bulkhead, and it stayed put the entire way back. After we pulled into port, I removed my L7, hit the switch, and, amazingly, it fired right up! We fixed the crack and bought ten more L7s after that.

Just thought you'd want to know what a great product you've got!
