The reason I previously said SureFire's are over rated is because myself and two other co-workers (the only two guys I know who use them as mutch as I do) have had nothing but issues with them, granted when you use them enough to be running through batteries almost every week you may come into a few problems but after 3 brand new C2's within a year I am not a fan. Two of my co-workers saw me order one up through our Matco rep. and they have had problems with theirs as well.

The issues Ive had were
1) switch failure (stopped working)
2) another switch failure (erratic operation) - dealt with it for a bit until the LED stopped working (verified with parts from another C2),
3) another failed switch. The other two guys who bought C2's had just about the same problems.

For the price they put on them I would expect a better product.
