Surefire E2DL single output model (w/beamshots and runtime)

[Size15's]

Like the E1B, E1L and E2L, the E2DL's dual output is a feature controlled by the bezel. The TailCap is a standard clickie just like with the other lights mentioned.

I have to say even though I have a new SF E2DL incoming (I like "E" series lights) that is a pretty nice spill coming from the Olight T25!
Great pictures Chao..

Just ordered a single level E2DL! I'm not happy with this 2 levels UI and since there was a chance to get a one level version, I took it!

 

[JNewell]

Yup, easy to change your mind later if you already bought the single-stage light...love mine.

 

[AnimalHousePA]

My single stage should be here tomorrow...can't wait to get it.

After using this light for a couple of nights outdoors, I am even More impressed with it. The spot is just really nice for lighting things 7-15 yards away. This is usually where I want things lit up. It has plenty of spill to keep from stumbling, and it will reach out to 50+ yards when needed. Also, the beam's spot and output level reminds me of my old SF 9AN incan. (which I really liked) All while resting in a much smaller package. This light truly has impressed me.

Chao,

How does this 2008 E2DL head (120 lumen) compare to the 2008 KX2 head (60 lumen) in terms of useful outdoor output? I currently have a 2008 KX2 and am on the fence of purchasing this new E2DL head. Can you share your thoughts on these two great innovations from surefire?

thanks!

Al, or anyone else who can help me out, regarding the E2DL and the E1B Im assuming the spill and beam is the same on both but the E2DL will out throw the E1B. How much more will the E2DL have over the E1B regarding throw?

Regards
Steve

Depends on one's eyes.
I'm of the opinion that through is very much the result of the atmospheric conditions and one's eyesight.

The 60 lum KX2 is already good in outdoors, however the E2LD has great throw can lighting far away, woodrow has good describtion of E2DL in outdoors:

I don't have outdoor beamshots, but compare to 2008 KX2 and E1B, the indoor differences still dramatic.

Thanks for the nice review. I snagged one of the E2DL heads being sold on CPFM and it is awesome. Great tint and incredibly bright on high. I like that it's high on first and that it has a low. As a result I'm no longer wanting a SF L1. This is a light I've sought for a long time and had an LED upgrade planned for my existing E2D for a long time but SF has saved me the trouble. SF really got it right on this. The existing E2D host with momentary or click on makes this an ideal setup to get to the level you want fast. It's become a favorite all over again. I'm running mine on a 17670 rechargeable and I don't see any difference in brightness to my eyes. I'll have to check it on the light meter later but it works great with this battery.

Does the 17670 battery fit into the new E2DL body? If not, any suggest on which rechargeable batteries works on the new E2DL?

Some say unprotected 17670s will fit. Protected ones won't. Two RCR123s work, too. Your low mode will be a bit brighter than the regular low. The high is pretty much the same, not much difference.

Got my single level E2DL! The beam is perfectly white and the emitter is perfectly aligned with a big and bright hotspot! YEAH! I really don't regret getting this light!

Chao or any of you guys with your E2DL is the side spill effected by the strike teeth like the incan E2D? Or does the TIR focus the beam.

The incan E2D flower effect is almost absent. It looks different. The TIR does well this job in focusing the beam, with a bright enough, but narrow spill.

Thanks WildChild. I'm still waiting for my E2DL to come and took a walk last night with my E2D. I forgot about the beam shape and was wondering about the E2DL.

 

[WildChild]

I find the beamshape cool on my E2D, my girlfriend finds it cute!

 

[WildChild]

As a matter of fact, my 120 lumens E2DL is slightly brighter than my "170" lumens Wolf-Eyes Defender II P4 HO! Really nice light...

Great. I can't wait for mine to get here.
