Hmm as my only beam throwing light I really wanted to get Surefire but they were too expensive for me. At about the same time I was lookign toi take a plunge on Surfire, Pelican released their M6 light. I got it since it was about $40 and came with all the accesories I needed. Now I don't see a difference between Pelican and Surefire in functionality. They both have similar flaws: accidental power on, batteries, battery life, bulb light and getting hot. At first I used it quite often but now it rest in my pack. I mean it was great during blackout and camping but I find LED powered lights to be better. Inova X5, X1 and Arc LS are my primary tools.
