SureFire E-Series Addicts Unite!

[Monocrom]

Thanks Raoul! Forgot that FiveMega made E-series bodies and hadn't heard of the Balrogs. I'm surprised FiveMega hasn't made an AA-sized body . . .

Actually, he has. But they're designed to work with C-series SureFire bezels.

[PCC]

How about the Valiant Concepts 2 AA bodies for the E-series heads?

[FaithinGod]

While on the subject of E2L AA, do any of you know of any independent lux, candlepower, or lumen readings for the E2L AA on low?

Lightreviews.com has lux readings, but that is for the E2L which is unclear if it is directly comparable to the E2L AA.

The search function hasn't yielded any results for me on this question thus far.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

FaithinGod.

Sorry this is a newbie question.
Which LED head is compatible with E1e? I just got a E1e and try it with my E2DL head and it doesn't work.

Malkoff's VME Head on my E1E HA not only looks 'Killer' but has a beautiful beam in a selection of outputs and tints and if you especially need to go stealthy the light can be used as a Twisty by rotating the front section of the VME head as it was intended to be used in Malkoff's VME Light - Simply click on and then twist on or off, as required. Love it!

Mine is currently E2E old body #A210334 which will take an AW17670 nicely (no sanding), VME Head, Malkoff M61W. Z57 Tail. Like I said I love it!

So I ended up getting an E2D Body and Tailcap and a Valiant Concepts E-Series Extender, giving me a 3x123/2xAA Body. It's a little funny looking, as the extender is the same diameter as the head, not the body, but it was relatively cheap and it runs like a champ. The E1B Head works perfectly on 2xAA, as the voltage would suggest.

I'll still be on the lookout for any future 2xAA E-Series bodies, but what I've got works for now.

Could you post a pic of that, please?

[Z-Tab]

Here it is. Sorry the photo is so blurry, but I figure that it'll do.

Putting the E1B Tailcap on it makes it slightly less ugly, since at least the whole thing is sort of sleek now. It's a funny looking Frankenstein Monster, but it works.



Parts: E1B Tailcap, E2D Body, Valiant Concepts E-Series Extender, E1B Head. Running 2xAA.

Hi Z-tab, this may be a long shot, but do you have a 17670 li-ion to see if the e-series extender's inside diameter is large enough to fit it?

My E1B silver should be arriving today...I'm looking foward to putting the head on my E2L-AA and seeing how it run's off two duraloops. Wonder if I'll get the full 110 and what kinda runtime...

[shao.fu.tzer]

I do love my E-series lights... but not as much as C/Z/P/G series lights... They are nice and slim though...

[Z-Tab]

I don't have any rechargeables, so I can't say. The extender seems to be exactly the same diameter as the body, if that helps.

No problem, thanks! I'm thinking of just getting one anyway and try my luck on an E1B body I have. Thanks for the pics, by the way, I've always wondered what the e-series extender looked like in actual use!

[Sparky's Magic]

@Sureaddicted,

What is the best tailcap for a HA gray E2E - The Z57 it came with is broken (second replacement); and can you tell all I need to know about McClicky 2 stage tailcap for 'E' Series, please.

Edit: May 11th. Picked up a Z52 HA. which is a close (but not perfect) match. There should not be too much go wrong with this Twisty; it looks well made and it is tiny!

[Sparky's Magic]

Also a Z68 tailcap which makes a good looking Lego. Thanks Capt. Spalding.

Bet yer glad you don't have to mess with that thing anymore, Z-Tab! LOL!

[lchurch]

- e1 with a KL1 head
- e2L
- L4 with a KL4 head

Great start!

Cheers and Good Luck.

Heading to Portland OR today for a week. My hand held of choice is a black KL4+black E2e body+black Z68. This is currently my favorite "one speed." The latest KL4 really lights up whats in front of you!

[angelofwar]

And for a KISS light, a KL4 set-up is hard to beat. Mine doesn't see a lot of use, as it pulls stand-by duty...but when you need alot of light, and you need it now (emergency/accident/etc.), the KL4 delivers!

that may be the ugliest light I have ever seen but it's inner beauty only us CPFers can understand

[Z-Tab]

Yeah... I was just looking for the cheapest way to get an E-Series 2xAA body. (I do think that I did some service by providing a photo of an E-Series extender in action, though.)

Now that I've got an E2L-AA, my suffering is over.

[foxtrot824]

XM-L e-series anyone?

[Cypher_Aod]

now that's really impressive! good work there!

[foxtrot824]

Thank you, it took a lot longer to make than I expected for some reason ;-)

[Solscud007]

Great. Now make me one haha

[bigchelis]

Well, to BUMP this thread I have some eye candy. The bezel is E-series VME and the body and tail are from KuKu.

E-18650 Ti body, no split ring, super thin and nice and shiny. The tailcap is McClicky type and is a Surefire Z68 Replica

[bigchelis]

Now for my pride and joy.

SST-90 in progress build. Heatsink is pure copper slug with copper plug for LED to Copper bonding.

This will be the most copper ever used in a Surefire L1 bezel. In fact; only aluminum there is the shell Surefire L1 exterior pieces. Thanks to PCC for the copper slug and Lamda for doing the copper plug and SST-90 build via his LED to copper method.


NOTE: for actual OTF lumen test and daily use the L1 bezel will be on E-18650 hosts due to cell sag and current.

[kyhunter1]

Awesome Big C!

Here are my E setups.

SF E1B with Modoo Ti tailguard.
Aleph body & tail/VME head and M60 with lens.





Insanely ugly.... but works. E1B with JSBurlys extenders setup for 2xAA use.

[Schuey2002]

Nevermind ....

[Brasso]

Just to see if it works, I have run my E2L-AA head on an E2E body with a 17670. It seemed to work just fine.
