Ill admit ive never been able to read this section fully as id rather be looking at lights and for parts i need than looking for decently rated retailers which could almost take days to pick one.
Could we get a thread made by a knowledgeable member thats unbiased to all companies and place each one in a group by what country they are located in so people can get faster shipping by ordering locally. Also many Chinese dealers get some bad reviews and many have earned them, But many of those we all use daily and are a staple of our light and parts supply chain. So unless they are really bad which i see a few here already marked as (Not Recommended) and thats fine.
It would be nice to give a summery of what they specialize in like, Parts, Lights, Everything, Batteries.
If you feel its not needed or waste of time ill not argue, But i know id like to see a list of all USA dealers when i need a certain part fast and lists of Chinese dealers when im not in a hurry and want to order alot of budget lights. And im sure some people here from Europe have dealers they would like listed and other countries and continents also.
If you dont feel its needed thats fine, Its just a recommendation.
