    SF square vs rounded opinions wanted

    I recently acquired an E1e Roundy... it sucks. Too much turd polishing going on at Surefire. Bring back the flats.

    My parents are asking e what I want for Christmas

    Hi Cornkid, The quintessential Surefire is the E2e. In my experience, people who own just one Surefire own the E2e--and for good reason, it's close to perfection. Of those I know who own two Surefires, one is the E2e and the other is the first Surefire they purchased. Seems like once you get...

    E2D vs E2E...

    Would I ever need throw? (Urban kid here)

    Two examples I deal with all the time... Flood preferred: Camping in woods. A wall of light is preferrable to throw since all the trees in the way make throw useless. Throw preferred: Walking the dog down long dark streets. Comes in really handy identifying objects, animals and other...

    what should I buy for my first SF?

    [ QUOTE ] StuU said: [ QUOTE ] Photonian said: You can use it as an emergency saw. [/ QUOTE ] photonian- I have an E2e and agree with all you are claiming. It's a great light. However, I cannot quite figure out how to use it as an emergency saw. Could you elaborate? [/ QUOTE ] The...

    what should I buy for my first SF?

    [ QUOTE ] AK said: Hard to beat the E2E. Small enough to carry in your pocket, plenty bright, and its easy to add KL1 and KL4 led conversion heads. On the other hand, a G2 Nitrolon is an mighty nice flashlight for $34, though its bigger than the E2E and doesn't have the LED upgrade options...

    Any LED guys switch back to incandescent?

    I use both. When camping in wooded areas, my FF2 is the "best"--nice wall of light with great brightness out to 50 feet which is all you need in the woods. In open areas, throw rules so the E2e is my preferred choice. One light, which is good, but not great in either situation is the Arc...

    "SOS" mode: silly or not?

    Re: \"SOS\" mode: silly or not? [ QUOTE ] PhotonBoy said: Morse code will probably be totally forgotten in about 20 - 40 years, or about 1.5 generations. Rather than a steady blinking, perhaps a fast strobe followed by a delay, then repeat, would attract attention. The strobe would, at least to...

    What is your "typical" target?

    Re: What is your \"typical\" target? Electronic components, circuit boards, I use my Arc4+ as a microscope lamp. Hiking and camping I usually take the FF2 for the great flood beam. Walking the dog at night it's usually the FF2--sometimes the E2e.

    FF II observation

    [ QUOTE ] paulr said: Ehh, the FF is like a British sports car; you buy it for its character and expect that it will have some idiosyncrasies. [/ QUOTE ] I think the idiosyncrasies are extremely minor, the FF II is or will shortly be a classic going for $500 and more on eBay. Moreover, it...

    FF II observation

    Well Coach, Everybody pretty much knew about the issues using cut down optics so that's not a problem. The other issues center around the 2-stage switch which I don't use but hey, nothing is perfect. That said... The FF2 is about as good as is possible in that form factor with that amount of...

    Longbow Micra or Surefire E2O

    Longbow Micra is the better choice in my opinion-just based on portability and output.

    Tactical Flashlight w/ Handgun?

    Steve, <learn from experience on> Buy the C2. Yes, it's a tad pricey but cheaper than having to buy anything else on the list and the C2 which is what you'll end up doing if you buy anything else on the list. <learn from experience off>

    Clicky -- I Don't Get it ?

    Clicky -- I Don't Get it ?

    Clicky -- I Don\'t Get it ? Is it just me? I really prefer a twisty--particularly the SureFire twisty. It had a handy button for tactical use and just torque it down for constant on. Now they don't make it for the E series lights anymore

    Slaying the Beast with Your Light Sabre

    Has anyone ever... say... stopped a charging wild boar or thwarted a radical Islamic terrorist with their EDC photon cannon? Just curious because all I ever use mine for is scaring rabbits, squirrels and the occasional cat while walking the dog. OK, maybe once in a while I'll shine it in the...
