New Surefire E2DL 200 LUMENS?!?!

Seems that LX2 would be more user friendly for me. I do like lo mode to come on first, or I could twist through directly to high. That 5 lumens will end of being more like 10 or 12, which is plenty of light for a many tasks.

Well, SBR1 is selling this "new" E2DL over at MP and I've popped the question.

He said "It's a bit brighter, but not a HUGE amount. The same as an LX2 compared to the older E2DL's."

I caution about drawing conclusions unless a good number of each were compared side-by-side - say a dozen of each. Otherwise the natural variation of LEDs and other factors such as differences in tint can really mess with comparisons...
 
Oh, so that explains Fenix's ratings; they've found a source unbeknownst to Surefire.

Howecollc, please elaborate on the meaning of that post? Are you implying something. I am just trying to figure it out. Are you being facetious?
😕

Unfortunately, the facetiousness of my last 2 posts has possibly been open to misinterpretation due to my reluctance to use Internet chatspeak terms such as "LOL" and the like. I don't care for them in general, and further find the expression "laugh out loud" to not really be a fitting reaction following a facetious remark.

I hereby propose a new acronym be added to the list of Internet jargon: SNUB (snicker under breath). It far better suits my personality, and I will be using it for clarification in future posts henceforth.

No disrespect meant to Bullzeyebill or Outdoors Fanatic.
 
We do have a fine collection of Smilies for expressing emotions that are perhaps even more helpful than "chatspeak" to ensure the intention of communication is also communicated. :green:

:ohgeez:


These "internet chatspeak terms" were created to help people understand the tone that the 'speaker' is trying to express.

Without them, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstandings, as it is often hard to tell through plain text what emotions are being conveyed.

For instance, I didn't even have to write a word to express how I felt towards your post. I simply showed my feelings, with the forehead slap.
Even if you "don't care for them" for the courtesy of others, you could attempt to use some to clearly express yourself.

Hahaha! I'm with you Howecollc! I can't bring myself to use smileys and abreviations either.

By the same token, for the benefit of the slower members of his audience, maybe we should have Dennis Miller stop in the middle of his rants to further explain all the rapid-fire references he spews forth. Might not be as hip of a show, but at least no one would have to think too hard.
 
Seeing as this is a community, you shouldn't find it too hard to take into consideration other people, by allowing them to understand what you are saying, or more so in what way you are saying something...


Just my opinion.

Oh, and this Dennis Miller, he has nothing to do with what we are talking about.
 
Howcollc... ignoring the advice of CPF staff and being rude to other members is a swift route to suspension from CPF. One more smart-a$$ comment from you, and that's what you'll be facing.
 
I know a few of you have already done the same but, I was on the phone earlier with SF on a different issue and just for the sake of it asked if I should drop my 120 lm E2DL and pick up the new 200 lm rated E2DL - she replied that its the same emitter and they are no different - they just rerated the output...
 
:naughty:

The flashaholic in me still wants to buy a new one to compare to my current one

😀

haha - I sold my e2dl in anticipation of my LX2 - I'm tempted to re-buy an e2dl to see it against my LX2 :devil::shakehead

I was going to call them to ask that. Thanks for saving my time.:thumbsup:
