Are there any other LED pistol and hand held lights on the market today that are both American made and of equivalent quality of Surefire?

Insight Technology and BlackHawk have both come out with LED weapon lights recently.  I'm not sure of the country of manufacture but I hope they're both American made.  The BlackHawk light called the Xiphos NT also has a strobe feature to disorient your adversary.

I emailed Streamlight and got this "Thank you for your inquiry.  Most of our products are assembled in the USA."

I emailed Insight and got "Thank you for inquiring with Insight. Our products are manufactured here in the USA. Our factory is located in Londonderry NH."

However unless I missed something, all of Insight's are incandescant.

Thanks Quib, that is why I emailed them.  The statement "Designed and Assembled in the USA" leads me to believe the parts may not be manufactured in the USA.  If they are, I may buy one.

I emailed them back a second time for clarification on this but have not received a reply yet.

If you are looking for a rifle/carbine light, don't overlook PentagonLight.
I just got the X3 (like the surefire 6P, but I think the head is bigger) and it rocks.  Rock solid, double O-rings, gold plated inerds, etc.  USA made.  Also fits into stnd 1" rings.

The Pentagon LED lights (L2, L3) I've not owned, but they got good reviews when I could find them.  The L3 is barely brigher than the L2, but offers much longer battery life.
