a couple years back I had to send my m600IB back because the oring melted after maybe a total run time of maybe 30 minutes over a year of owning it.
I got it back after 3 weeks from shipped date and they just sent me a new one but it was kind of a pita to deal with trying to get the repair started. Not a single issue after I got it back, I have had some issues with one light flickering(m600ultra) and that was taken care of by the place I got it from in a week. all in all still much better off than with surefire than streamlight, still waiting for them to return a light(tlr1) I sent years ago and just wrote it off. These are trying times so I would just stay calm and know full well that surefire will actually do their job because of the 2 companies ive dealt with streamlight can eat a bag of dicks. |

I've sent defective products (Vampire head selector was stuck) and they just replaced it with a re-worked light. Odd that they can't just send you a replacement.
Slightly off topic, but the DF lights are known to have issues like flickering and reduced output when running the Surefire remote switches. |

Is there a better switch or something I should look at? |

Sending my M600DF back today due to flicker/dimming with the stock switch. I'm seriously debating just grabbing a Modlight and when I get the M600 back keeping it as a backup.

Surefire has now also had my M640DF for one full month. Haven't heard from them other than they acknowledged receipt 30 days ago. Same problem it seems we're all having, intermittent dim or occasionally no light when used with any remote switch (i.e. Modbutton, SR07, Hot Button, ect).

I just got the RMA approval for my M640DF. Guess I'm in for a wait and will need to move over my M600U.

They sent me another email stating: "at this time we cannot authorize a repair or replacement until our engineering team has a solution to this issue." |

Get your money back and go Modlite.
Surefire hasnt fixed this issue in over a year (and continually seem to act like it's a odd suprise when getting RMAs), and it likely wont be fixed for another. Their customer service is top notch and should work with you, but their current lights just arent working. |

They've had mine for almost two months now. Called yesterday and was told they are awaiting parts. They estimated it would be about two more weeks before the "repair" was conducted and the light was shipped back to me.

Update on mine: they emailed and said due to extended backorder on needed parts to repair my DF, they offered to replace it with a 6V only model, which I took them up on. |
