Not really worthy of the great accomplishments of SF lights so I thought I would share here.

Spent the last week in the Alps and while chasing down a 6 year old, inadvertly dropped my SF C3 in the snow.

A couple of days later, it was discovered (not by me) but returned to me as most know of my flashaholic sickness.

The light was frozen and caked in ice.  Took it inside, ran some hot water over it, and it lit up with no problems - well except for the P150S batteries that are on their last legs anyway.

Should have seen the others faces when I threw it in the sink for a bath - priceless.

The C3 should be considered a weapon! Grin

Well the old P91 doesn't have the respect that it once did, but the C3 can be used as a pocket club in a pinch... Smile

If, I repeat, if Surefire came out with a C4 that accepted 2 18650s, and could drive the P91 to its full potential I could honestly say that I would need no other outdoor light. The C3 does however do an incredible job of driving any LED drop in.

I use two Pila 150S - same effect with a bit less runtime.  Gotta get some new batteries though!
