did you include reliable in one of your initial examples of better? I think I noticed you didn't...
did you consider that surefire may not have released their led offerigs for the world to test but instead tested their led lineups in corporate privacy so I wouldn't have to be a beta tester?
Update, My O-light tail switch quit working, and while inspecting the light I also noticed dust inside the lamp bezel. I use the olight T25 everyday at work as a Detective. I had his light for about 17 months when I broke. It has a 2 year warranty. I called Olight which now was pushing another named light. The ass-clown on the phone kept trying to sell me one of their new lights with a lifetime warranty. I told him I just wanted this one fixed and it was under warranty. The. He wanted to charge me $35 for a tail switch and 40 for a bezel. I only paid $45 for the whole light at a gunshow new. I told him a lifetime warranty on the new light did not impress me seeing as they would not honor this warranty. Finally he put the manager on the phone. He told me to send it in and they would repair it for free like the warranty stated. So I get it back in a few days surprisingly. Also to my surprise it looks like used parts are on it. Tail cap rubber button was semi smoothed over from wear. Bezel had a few scratches and one nice ding from a drop. This was not my parts redone. It worked though. Now the tail light switch is starting to go again. So I am in the market to buy a new one. Probably going to be surefire or streamlight. From an officer/ former Infantryman's point of view, they just work, even when abused. Lets face it, anything man made can break, at least surefire honors warranties in my experience without the BS. The Chinese lights like olight are fine if you only use them once in a while. My dads olight he bought the same day I bought mine has served him well. It sits in the dash of his Jeep Wangler. I think he has used it maybe 3 times for a total of less than 10 minutes. Another thing to consider is all the geek clicks modes, another olight I have is bad to jump into another mode when tactically clearing a building. I like the on off only in a tailcap.
