any of you guys know whether tropical equipment is till in business? I tried emailing, calling but no response.
I am looking for a surefire 6P. I know cresdo sells them but I wanna compare the price between both of them first.
Anyone know who else to buy surefire from besides cresdo? I remember buying surefire COD from a guy who drives the KTM terrain motorcycle. His price is reasonable. ANybody has his contact details?
I bought a surefire G2 from him 4 years ago...

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 28 2014, 03:08 PM) go learn it quick  find some old electronic boards like a broken radio to start practicing  ahahaha mann you gotta remember all LEDs work only in around 3-4v max XD there are 6v 9v 12v and even 36v LEDs too but general LED range is 3v and by driver yes I'm talking bout the chip behind  dx.com and fasttech.com lists a WIDE range of DIY parts for you to play around. Yeah, lesson learn. Unlike the Fenix and Jetbeam they actually are much brighter with the RCR123 batt. Guess the unbranded light just don't have those protection. Will try out the soldering and check out the website. Thx man!

I'm not sure if surefire is a must but... if I remember correctly, Ace Hardware in The Summit has them why not Solarforce L2P (just curious)
