SureFire Wrist Light

[misanthropist]

On the plus side, this definitely makes some of the other light builders seem more legitimate...at least Solarforce or whatever hasn't put out one of these.

So glad the R&D time on this wasn't wasted on, say, a narrow 1-battery pistol light for CCW that would compete with the TLR-3 and now the Inforce APL, like I've been waiting for for two years. No, totally, let's build a $500 headlamp but with a much smaller strap, that's a way better use of our time and money.

If Surefire made this in a diving version, with this output and size, it wouldn't be such a bad price for that. Canister lights with a wrist output can cost $1500-2000+ for good ones for tech diving. For just a light on land- seems a bit much...

I still don't know who at surefire thought this was a good idea. I can see the utility in a dive application, or perhaps if you were some kind of cave explorer or coal miner but otherwise this is a bit retarded.

I use one on my fire gear but I use the streamlight one very handy in a burn if you drop a tool

Surefire Fury (~$110) + strip of duct tape = Bam, 500 lumen wrist light.
That's bang for your buck right there.

$495 on EE right now or trade for 1 used non-windowed PMag. Kidding.

For that price the wrist device should include a flux capacitor and teleport me anwhere in the time space continuum.

I'm puzzled as to why this hasn't happened, yet.

Current LED emitter tech is so badass, you can get LOADS of output from a single 123 cell. A slim, light, low-profile pistol light seems like a no-brainer.

Yeah, it's absolutely beyond me as well. I thought for sure we'd see it at SHOT last year...nope.

Even more strangely I have found that I am often shot down when suggesting it, and everyone who does the shooting talks about the need for ever-greater amounts of light from their 2-cell lights...as though that somehow means that a narrow single-cell light isn't also useful.

I would think that with the increasing popularity of carrying concealed, a narrow 1-cell light from Surefire would be the single most obvious development in the history of obvious developments...but so far, no, that's been up to Streamlight and Inforce.

I could see this being designed as an alternative for agencies that prohibit pistol-mounted lights. That said, $500 could pay for a lot of practice with a pistol and a handheld light.
