Here is what is going on as of today: In order to support the fairly large base of Gladius LED Flashlight users, starting Aug 1, there will be a US based Gladius upgrade center set up by Strategos International LLC. Strategos as the current Brand Manager for Nights-Ops is the obvious choice. They have been in contact with Blackhawk during the entire process. a. Price point is not been established, but it should be attractive. b. 1-2 week turnaround c. Modded LED will be warranted for life d. Any additional mechanical or electrical issues associated with the Gladius, post mod will be warranted for 1-year. For example the internal flex circuit, tailcap (which has nothing to do with the mod) will be covered by Strategos at no charge. e. No duties/customs to be concerned about. For example, I paid an additional $47 in custom fees despite following the explicit instructions from “GladiusX1” the guy from Canada working out of his garage. f. I will receive ZERO financial benefit from this as I have resigned from Strategos International and have stepped away from Night-Ops to pursue interests in the HID realm. As previously stated, I wanted Gladius users to have a supported upgrade path within the United States and that has been my motivation. I deal with operators that go in harms way, I want them to have the best possible tool. I appreciate what they do for me and others. To be announced: Actual price and send in procedure. Respectfully, Ken J. Good |

I was told that Strategos will mod the Insight light, but will not address anything but the LED with respect to warrantee. That would be an Insight matter, and if I were to guess, the mod would void their warrantee. Yes Insight manufactures both lights (they did not design it), but in terms of distribution, service there is 2 completely different pathways. Strategos' number is easy to remember if you have questions: 1-888-low-light (888-569-5444) Respectfully, Ken J. Good |
