Greetings,
I am a new user, and apparently I have to make 3 posts before I can "edit" my profile so I thought I would talk about my EDCs.
I will be comparing the Surefire E2D(L) LED Defender and the Klarus XT10.
Here are the links:
Surefire E2D LED - http://www.surefire.com/E2DL
Klarus XT10 - http://www.klaruslight.com/products/Flash_light/76.html
Surefire E2D(L) LED Defender:
Pros:
- great size..not too wide like the Klarus XT10
- love the striking bezel
- 200 max lumen out-put is more than sufficient for EDC
- GREAT clip!
- rugged body
Cons:
- no strobe mode
- a 3-level output would be nice (it has a low setting 5lm/76 hr or max 200lm for 1.9 hours)
NOTE: my Klarus XT10 has 3 settings (LOW: 10lm/300hrs, MID: 150lm/7.3hrs, HIGH: 470/2.3 hrs) so as you can see the XT10 low setting runs for 223 more hours! and 0.4 more hours with an additional 270 lumens
- price ($189 retail) the XT10 is ($89 retail!)
Klarus XT10:
Pros:
- the power of 470lm in you hand is powerful!
- LOVE the strobe
- LOVE the secondary button
- LOVE the 3 settings
- Battery life lasts for days compared to the E2D
Cons:
- Hate the width of the light vs the E2D
- No clip like the E2D
Conclusion:
Despite having more power, a strobe, being cheaper, having much longer battery life, having 3 modes..I have to go with the E2D because it's slim and of the pocket clip!
