    How do you carry tour E2E or E2D?

    I use the trick I learned from fine folks at selfdefenseforums.com: keep it in the front pocket, leaning against the wallet. It is surprisingly effective in slacks. The light stays vertical for drawing with reasonble easy(no fast draw, obviously), yet have sufficient space to movearound so I...

    Any recommandation for Arc AAA subsitude?

    Thanks! Just checked them out at flashlightreviews.com Very interesting. The only thing bothers me is the lack of build-in clip. The extra clamp thingy is jus another piece to carry/lose in a trip. If a suitble clip can be found, this light would be ideal companion for my e2e

    Hi, everyone: I am new to the LED side. While still enjoying my e2e everyday, I realized that it is simply too bright for many daily tasks. What I need is a "reasonablly" bright mini-light(walking around a dark room) that has long life, significently smaller and lighter than the e2e, and have a...

    e2e SG with weired skin color

    Just received an e2e SG. The surprise came when I opened the box. The skin looks PURPLE!!! At first I thought it was a joke. My wife wasted no time commenting on the "gay" light. Next morning, I took the baby under sun light, the skin looked metalic silver as expected, but as soon as I brought...

    surefire edc?

    Hi, handlebar, e2 is almost ideal for edc. The beam quality is great, with a very nice balance between spill and hotspot. For the self defense part, my experince is that it is sufficient to temporarily blind an opponent, but not enough to cause the disorientation like the more powerful ones...

    Need small, BRIGHT incandescent EDC suggestions.

    Re: Need small, BRIGHT incandescent EDC suggestion socom: I bought my wife a SF e2e, which I believe is the closest to your needs. My wife, for one, has been very happy with it. As for blinding muggers, it is not always reliable. The drill I've been teaching my wife is: flash, scream, pepper...

    how to smoothen e2e tube?

    Guys: Just received a new e2e for my wife. Very satisfied with the size and intensity, but the grooves on the tube are notisabally rougher than the 6P. Is this normal? While it is fine for rainy days, the sharp edges of the groove brought disaster to her handbags and other article. I tried to...

    difference between old and new style SF e2e

    Hello everyone: I am looking at lapolicegears.com for an SF e2e. They are showing some "left over" old style ones. Based on the picture, the only difference I can tell is the position of the clip(Actually, I like the position of the older ones). Besides that, are there any functional difference...
