    Surefire U2 vs LX2 LumaMax?

    I have both - LX2 and latest U2 with ssc p4 led. The newer U2 is very underrated - and the throw is much better than the older U2 which was more floody. The "new" U2 has also a lower low what I find very usefull.- If you are satisfied with the UI maybe try the newer U2. At the end - yes the LX2...

    Surefire L4, 120 lumens improved version

    Sorry for bringing up this old thread, but maybe there is somebody out there who can help me. Sine I have received my L4 - I love it. Small, very powerfull and the formfactor is very nice. BUT sometimes it is much to bright for my purpose. Sometimes I switch it to the body of my LX2 - and it...

    your most expensive flashlight...was it worth the price?

    Surefire LX2 - 159,- $ - And I would buy it again. But this was the end of the line. I would never spend the euopean Surefire prices (320,-$). - because I want to use them, and I don`t want to care to many about them. (They are still only flashlights to me). Steve

    Hi, just recieved my first surefire - WOW

    Congratulation to your first Surefire. The E1L was also my first Surefire (after a long period of thinking about the facts like 45 lumen, old Led`s and the very expensive pricing). Today I own E1L, E1B, L1, and the E2DL - and now I think about to buy the LX2- just because I want to have one...

    New Surefire E1L Outdoorsman - thoughts

    My first Surefire was the E1L - and I was realy surprised by the power of this small package. (with endless runtime on high and low) It take me a long time to think about this small Surefire and first, my K.O. Criterium was the 45 Lumen output. (Thougt it is to less power) Then I bought...

    E1L or L1 Lumamax?

    Big Ed: My E1L is definitely brighter than my L1. My L1 really has been outclassed by the E1L. So much so, that I rarely use my L1 anymore. I still like it, but the E1L is brighter, smaller, and I like the clicky switch better. My E1L is almost as bright as both of my E1B's. I really think it's...
