    Surefire EDCL1-T

    I tried with a Malkoff M61 head and M31 head. The 2 stage "gaspedal" switch doesn't make a noticeable difference. Funny enough, it had an effect with the Mini Scout M300C (500 lumens) head. It turns out two levels that are not much apart, but distinguishable. It only turns out only low with...

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    I guess it has to do with the protection circuit. My KPs are the 4 ampere variety. And your Olight cells are most likely also rated for higher current draw.

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    Well, yes. I can see those rings also outside (and inside of structures) since they are shadowy rings. It has a significantly different beam pattern and tint than my other comparable TIR Surefire lights, such as EDCL1-T, M300C, M600U, etc. Here are two pics. Sorry for the poor quality. But I...

    SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

    My EDCL2-T displays a blueish / purple tint and several shadowy rings inside the proximity spill beam. That bothers me immensely — not that I am a whitewall hunter, but this light is not what I payed the premium for. All my modern Surefire lights, e.g. EDCL1-T, Mini Scout M300C, Scout M600U...

    Lumens Factory E-series bodies

    @carrot Hi. Did you find the time to test some other cells? I would be interested in the Keeppower 18350.

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    Found the time to do two runtime tests with the EDCL1-T yesterday. Keeppower 4A 700mAh 16340: 40min on high without much of a drop in brightness (maybe down to 80% of switch-on brightness - if that much of a drop at all). Then a sudden shutdown. Keeppower 7A 2500mAh 16650 on e2 body: 100 min...

    Lumens Factory E-series bodies

    Hi Mark. Are you contemplating to introduce an adapter that would make it possible to attach a Surefire Dual Fuel Scout head to an e series body? That should be a quite simple task, depending on the inner / outer thread diameters of the head / light body.

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    Thanks for your input! That gave me the courage to beef up the tools involved and put some more strength into it. Good news: I was able to get the retainer ring off and replaced my tail cap boot. Bad news: There was some sort of a white(ish) residue visible inside the threads that looks like...

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    Tried to replace the EDCL1-T endcap boot with a high vis one from Lumensfactory. No luck removing the retainer ring. Never had that problem. Not even on the new E2T-MV Tactician. could it be that Surefire started using loctite on them these days? I would really hate that. Anybody else ran...

    VME + M31 on EDCL1-T?

    Posted my findings inside the main EDCL1-T thread post #547.

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    Just got my EDCL1-T in. Works as intended with a CR123. now: 1) Works as intended off of a Keeppower 16340 4A high drain lithium-ion rechargeable. High and low setting comparable to a standard CR123. Does, however, NOT work as intended with an AW 16340: Only low setting (5 Lumen). That might...

    VME + M31 on EDCL1-T?

    Yes, thanks for checking that out for us. Apparently, the new gaspedal tail cap only engages an electronic trigger inside the head that switches the modes instead of acting as a resistor that directly regulates the current flowing to the head.

    VME + M31 on EDCL1-T?

    I am totally with you on that one. My wife - or should I say our wives - have, however, a totally different perspective on such things. What ever. For science!

    VME + M31 on EDCL1-T?

    I have the Malkoff side of the required hardware but am still waiting for the EDCL1-T to show up on my doorstep. Will engage in couple of experiments once all pieces are assembled: 1) EDCL1-T running off of a Keeppower 700mAh 4A 16340. 2) EDCL2-T head on above setup. 3) Malkoff M31 in VME on...

    Surefire tactician

    I picked up Akula88's idea with the shim for making the Tactician head compatible with shorter threaded e bodies. While Akula's idea works well and enables high mode on the shorter (normal) treaded e bodies, it renders the Tactician head high mode only, if the outer diameter of the head's...
