Ok friend, I have done my research thats why I picked a quality American made product made by an electrical engineer that offers quality service. If you ever used one of Michaels lights you would see what difference there is in quality. I bought my son one of the chinese made lights that another person has put their label on and though it is bright it only has two clicks and has a light like a laser beam, you cant hardly walk by it. Cheap yes, quality no. Service may not be important to you but is is to anybody that has any sense, they may last a long time but you will have a problem some time , everything wears out or breaks eventually and your only option is to throw it away and get another one. No I havent had any issues with my sunfire but I know if I do that Michael will take care of it. It would be foolish of me to get into a pissing match over these lights because there is no comparison, just look back over all the threads about lights and caplights and see how many satisfied customers have the sunfire and try to find a complaint. If you want to settle for subquality chinese junk thats your business but dont try to make it sound like it compares to a good quality custom American made light.
I walk better with a tight spot, that is preference only and has nothing to do with quality.
It is not about finding complaints with a particular light or questioning the quality of any light. I used a Sunspot, it was a fine light but like the Laser Torch that I own, I would not have bought either had I realized the Chinese were making good quality LED lights. You can buy 6 China lights for what these others cost and they are very good quality too. There is no way you can quantify your statement about lack of quality in these Chinese mining lights.
Let me reiterate...... Many of these (if not all) $300 lights have Chinese parts whether you believe it or not!
I will stand by my statement that the best light for the money comes from China, but if you feel warm and fuzzy for dropping $300 on a light that is of similar quality, maybe a "little" brighter but is sold stateside, then go for it!
