i will say this, i have a streamlight strion led flashlight which i use everyday between work and hunting, etc. it was about 115 bucks, but i must say this light is so bright i use it as my primary navigating light. no qbeam or lightbar, just what i can keep in my pocket. it is 100% waterproof, and extremely durable. my experience with surefire is they arent worth the extra money. i have replaced the light housing in mine twice, and my military buddies have had similar luck with them. i fell out of my boat at high tide and the streamlight fell out of my pocket, sinking to the bottom of the swamp. i thought i lost it but i went to scout that creek i was in when i fell out and found saw it barely poking out of the water. it stayed completely underwater in the mud for 10 days, and not a drop of water was in the light, housing or push button. it still wanted to turn on! the battery was leaking acid from sitting in cold water for so long so when i contacted streamlight and told them about it they replaced the battery for free even after i told them how long it sat under water. just got my battery back yesterday and it works like a champ.
