E2e Upgrading

[harm]

I have a few E2e's I bought back in 2000 from Surefire that I'd like to give a bit of a performance bump to. 14 years ago 60 Lumens was awesome, now... a little less so. That incandescent is looking awful yellow as well. I saw a review for the E to C Adapter from Overready and I'm intrigued at the potential bump in options. But as I roam over the various options I realize that while I love flashlights, and especially SUREFIRES the entirety of options, restrictions, parameters I find myself flung through the rabbit hole here.

Can anyone point me in the direction of all the necessary upgrades to effectively use the E-C Adapter? Or is there a better option? I know Malkoff makes a straight bulb conversion that kicks out 325 Lumens. Thats fairly cost effective, but admittedly less fun that a well planned mod. If I go with the E-C Adapter I need a C head, bulb, bezel, and it appears some of the options then require new tailcaps as well.

Thanks for your input and direction.

Here is a great option that is a direct replacement for your MN02/MN03 bulbs.

Here is a nice option if you're willing to use rechargeable cells, and are willing to upgrade the click switch to a "McClicky" to handle the higher amps. This also permanently modifies your bezel.

If you're willing to give up the stock head, there are even more options.

The E2C

Requires a bezel to fit onto the front. All of these work:

You can also order one of these heads, with an E ring built in (see Compatibility):

From small to large, it goes stock/moddoolar/E2C, but E2C also gives the most options/flexibility

You could also look at the Malkoff E2 heads. They are offered in single and multiple output versions, as well as cool tint and neutral tint.

VME bezel is a really simple way to upgrade to the wide selection of Malkoffs ....

Also, if you'd consider (higher output) incandescent options, don't forget Lumens Factory aftermarket E-series lamps that go up to about 150 lumens (on 2x Li-Ion) power

And then, of course, there is this ...
