Hey I need a longs lasting LED torch that has variable amounts of light. So I can put it on low for long lasting a high when I need it. SO I was looking at the Surefire U2. Is it a good torch and is there anything better?

(You may as well get one as you're stung now, and you know you want one!)

It would be nice if someone Enlightened would answer your questions. I too am considering buying a U2.Mactrix said:Ok ill get the surefire. here come the questions!
1. How many versions of the U2 are there? Explain if more then 1
2. Whats this one about accepting batteries (post 2)
3. What are protect/unprotected batteries?
I intend to hold it in my hand for use for bushwalking and when I need it in the dark.

More Enlightenment please!
Within a few days, new 18650 battery tubes for the U2 will be available from a 3rd party.
