    New Surefire E2D Defender 1000 lumens - single and dual outputs

    I have the same question for anyone who has both, is the new E2DL using the same LED and optics and just dialed down the drive current a bit?

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    Re: Surefire EDCL1-T Runtime Tests That's the way I interpreted it too. On the EDCL-2T I have, the low level is significantly brighter on 2 4.2V RCR123 than 2 primaries, which would not be possible if the low only acts as a signal for the driver to engage "low". I assume EDCL-1T works in a...

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    not just runtime but also the beam will get wider and wider, there is only so much surface brightness to gain before you just get broader beams as lumen figures climb.

    Worth upgrading to SureFire E2D Defender 1,000 lumens?

    that would be the case if they are using the same LED. Do you have info on what LED is going into the new 1000 lumen version? I know the 1200 lumen EDCL2T is a very different LED than that of the E2DL U.

    Worth upgrading to SureFire E2D Defender 1,000 lumens?

    I guess we will have to measure an actual sample but the current E2DL-U is already at 600 lumens. Seems like they heard the concerns people had from the EDCL-2T and dialed back the power a bit from 1200 lumens which *could* translate to quite a bit lower drive current. There has been an number...

    Surefire UM2 Ultra

    l agree, I wish I got more than 2. The beam is such a nice thick and well focused beam, i'm sure with enough money and time one can retrfit a U2 to perform similarly but the massive optic used in this light is worth the small increase in size. It reminds me of the A-10 Thunderbolt II that was...

    Surefire L1 on 2 AA. Very Excited!

    oh brother, I remember all the hate people here had for those TIR modules. "why no spill Surefire and still give reasonable runtime AND high output AND far reach?" was the common complaint.

    The latest-greatest Malkoff M61 is 425 lumens and 600+ lumens on two Li-Ions

    I got a few brand new old stock 6P off of ebay some weeks back and didn't even know what I was going to put in them. Now I know what one of them is gonna get. :D

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    Re: Surefire EDCL1-T Runtime Tests in case you still have any doubts about buying from them, I got my EDCL1T from them in less than 4.5 days between submitting the online order and receiving it at my doorstep, coast to coast.

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    That's what I have seen as well, the E2DL Ultra (500 version) I have also run great on regular 3.7V RCR 123s and I only ran the set up after others here have tried it first(come to think of it, you may have been one of them) and of course, I can't prove it's 100% safe but I've used it for so...

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    You should absolutely ignore us and move on, and use the primary batteries recommended by Surefire. We will all be better off if you didn't pay attention to us.

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    Then stick with primaries and move on, why do you bother arguing with noobs like us since we obviously are all new to flashlights and clearly not up to your standards. You really should read "How to win friends and influence people" if you are gonna keep claiming "I'm on your side".

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    Ok Ned Flanders, you got me, I'm one of the outlaw renegades daring to run batteries that are shown to work fine in these lights. I better get back to my moonlight bonfire dance to pagan dieties and see what other wild trouble I can get into, maybe I'll put thousand island dressing on my hotdog...

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    Do you have access to technical document that indicates the circuit cannot accommodate anything over 6v?
