SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

[jellydonut]

Both the EDCL-1T/2T will be new additions to the product line, available for actual purchase *very* soon as opposed to months from now. I've been carrying a pre-production prototype 1T for the last couple of months and have been pretty pleased. I'm biased though, as I spec'd both these lights.

I guessed as much from the JJ in your user name!

I almost can't believe that we're getting a return to the good old E-series with the best old UI. I wonder what made SF change their mind.

Thanks for the info! I'll be purchasing one of each as soon as they are available. Plus I already have a E2T-MV on preorder

So many ways to answer this question. 😂

JJRG, I have to ask - I am sorry - do you know if 16650 will fit this light? Will it work? I know it's not endorsed by Surefire but I still like to have the option to run rechargeable batteries (16650 have 2500 mAh).

I don't have any on hand, or I'd check. I'll maybe try to pick some up this week.

This is very exciting news! I wonder if there is any plan with updating the surefire pens line-up? :wave::wave:

All of them fraught with corporate politics pitfalls, I'm sure.

Regardless, it's change that I am happy to see.

Any idea what pricing on this one is going to start at? Looks like a cool light; I really like the two-stage tail switch of the LX2.

Pricing isn't my area, I *think* M.A.P. For the 2 Will be around $170-$180, but that's a guess and not an official answer.

It's been discussed, but, that'll be next year if/when it happens.

I'm in for EDCL-1T 1xCR123A 500 Lumens or maybe both.

 

[Dan FO]

Anyone know what the low outputs will be on these lights?

 

[Echo63]

I think i am going to need one of each of these, I still like my old L2 for its two stage tailcap.


Any idea of runtimes on high yet ?
Hopefully they will run on 16340 rechargeable without too much of a brightness/runtime penalty.

The EDCL-1T looks very promising to me as the third Surefire in my stable(Sidekick & E2D).

Finally some official news! http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/11/03/surefire-releasing-11-new-lights/

I'm surprised and disappointed the Tactician has a head-up clip, while I am delighted the EDCLs have the two-way LX2-type clip.

 

[teak]

Typical surefire. They always have conflicting specs. Is the tactician 5,7 or 15 lumens on low?

Also appears the edcl line doesn't have lanyard rings. Also claims a worthless 5 lumen low. Of course that could be incorrect as well. Hell, they may never be available anyway.

It's ok. If the 5 lumen low isn't bright enough you can just burn your eyes with the 1200lm high :fail:. It's a cool light, but I don't see how it could make a practical daily carry.

At all 5 Lumens on low are good for me. I love my E1L Outdoorsman, and the 5 Lumens low is great. The "Pictures" of the EDCL lights looks really nice. Seems to be two really cool lights. FRom what we know I like the design also.

Also the both dual fuel Furys are also very nice. Seems Surefire did a Fusion of Fury P2X and Peacekeeper P1X. Good to see there are two 18650 light choices. The only hope I have is Surefire sells the new Furys without 18650 and charger. The charger in the Peacekeeper package is in comparsion to a "standard" Xtar charger (not the "deluxe" chargers with Display) crap. I never used this thing...

Neat! I will get a EDCL2 for sure.

As far as the clip on the tactician, I wonder why they didn't just use the existing E2DL clips....

Darn, I was all in until I read that it had a 5 lumen low. Way too low for EDC tasks for me. Not low enough for other tasks too. Just right in the middle where it doesn't help at all. I like the 15 lumen low they have on a lot of lights.
