Good question. At this time, I think it's a bit of a stretch to call the E2E-BK "rare". I would say it's "potentially rare" since SF no longer makes them, but until the existing supply is bought up, it's hard to call them rare. Afterall, one can go online to a major SF dealer (lapolicegear.com), like I recently did, and purchase brand new E2E-BKs or E1E-BKs. They're actually less money than the olive drab versions cause they're considered "closeouts/discontinued"
Regardless, I believe the black E2E is really sharp looking and desirable. Eventually, there will be less and less available, nearly all preowned, and then perhaps considered "rare".

I don't think they're rare. Uncommon, maybe. Rare, no. No premium.

I'd say there on the way to acquiring that title. For starter's, they stopped making them in 2006, and not a lot of places sell them, not even SF. You do see them on B/S/T periodically, I suspect that would dwindle. Having said that, what I would consider "rare" is the E2E CJ, or the uber rare red E2E.

I had the same exact question in mind. I was going to place an order at lapolicegear seeing how at the time they were the only place I knew that still offered the E2E as a SureFire product for sale. After looking through the new pricing list that SureFire released, I noticed that I can order E2Es in black along with E1Es in black as well. I'm guess they aren't rare but are rather uncommon. In a few weeks I think I will order one from work and get the wholesale price rather than what I was going to pay at LAPOLICEGEAR. :twothumbs

That's the exact situation. They are the building blocks for black L4 and TW4 lights.

TW4 is basically a 1cell L4. An E1E body and a KL4. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think you need to use a 3.7V cell for it as well.

the old version KL4s no, the new version [new version luxV] will only operate at ~75% capacity so yes. not sure of the new cree models though, but pretty sure those are buck circuits only

Yes to the first part - on the second, my KL4 runs on one 123 primary, but I don't know if they all will.

E2E's or E1E's are not that rare OHQ had a bunch of them not too long ago and people were buying them at a premium at the BST. I guess you just have to know where to look for. I've had a chance to get a BK L1 but didn't because it was RED LED if i knew heheh :naughty: other than that i really don't care i like Nat HAIII better because they are more durable finish.

An E2e with black HA, including a hard anodised black Z52 is rare. Otherwise...not rare at all.

Mine will run on a 123 primary but does not give you a 100% output.

Correct...didn't mention that because I thought it was obvious...
...still a great setup, though!
