Cruel & Unusual Punishment
No ordinary flashlight should be expected to endure this kind of abuse. And SureFire is certainly no ordinary flashlight.
| SureFire Survives Spelunking |
One of my hobbies is caving, and I always carry a bright handheld light in addition to my headlamp. I've tried multiple types and brands, but none lasted more than one or two trips before the mud, dirt, water, or impacts (they get dropped) involved in caving got the better of them. Until I discovered SureFire, that is. Since then, my C2 Centurion® has been in five different caves on multiple occasions over the past three years, and it has never once given me a problem.
On our last trip we went into a cave called "Mud Cave," and it's called that for a reason. This time I took my 6P® Defender® with me, outfitted with its P61 120-lumen ultra high-output lamp assembly, plus some extra batteries in an SC1 spares carrier. The mud in this cave is incredibly slick and thick, and after slipping and falling several times, both me and my Defender were completely covered in mud. On the way out, I stop at a pool of water to wash off my light, but the mud was so caked on that wiping it off in the water only got some of the mud off. One of my buddies said to me, "Dude, your flashlight is toast." I explained to him that it was a Surefire and would be just fine. When I got home, the only way for me get all the mud off was to let the light soak in water for two days. After drying off the outside, I opened it up to discover that it was completely spotless and dry inside. And when I put it back together, it shined as brightly as the day I first got it.
Now, I'm not one who needs convincing how great your products are, but after that incident, even I was completely amazed. SureFire makes the best flashlights on the planet. Keep up the great job, and keep making us say "WOW."
