(copied here in case anybody missed it on Dark Places)
Following the Sten v Scurion v Nova 3 debate I thought I'd add a comment. As some of you know, Iām half of Excellent Stuff Ltd., the official UK StenLight importer. I've tried to avoid much mention of that here, as I don't like commercial posts on discussion forums.
Obviously I'm biased, but suffice to say we were sufficiently impressed with the StenLight S7 to invest fairly heavily in time and money to bring it into the UK and to maintain a good level of stock.
What I'm not going to do is lay into another manufacturer, criticise any competing product or suggest they make false claims about battery life etc. We're selling a good number of StenLights to cavers and other underground explorers who appreciate its light output, robustness, build quality and consistency, the light weight of it and the battery and the easy to use switch. As well as the fact they are available from stock and are backed by a UK company. For my own part I love the blade mount, the fact that I can easily take it off and wave it around to take a photo; and the fact that with the soon to arrive head strap then your hard earned cash can go on a lamp you can actually use for other activities as well.
Anyhow, I'm more than happy to put my money where my mouth is and to offer a complete setup of Sten + Battery + Helmet for the Dark Places Big Bash next week, anybody who wants to try it out, just drop me a PM. It'll be first come first serve and only one day per person please!
There's obviously no commitment to buy one, I just want people to have to opportunity to try one, and perhaps give us some feedback. Nor will you be turned into a mobile advert!
my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by
