Recieved my E2D today!

Great choice of light. Enjoy it.

GeoffS - This is my 3rd try at posting this...I hope it goes thru. Keeps freezing my computer:

I use Ultralast 3V R123As I bought from Fry's Electronics. Tho there are a variety of 3-3.2V R123As with varying chemistries (as shown by their chargers being incompatible with one another), they all fall into 2 main categories:

- 3.2V nominal, 4.2-4.4V HOC, internally a 3.6/3.7V cell with an internal circuit to lower voltage to 3.2V
- 3.0V nominal, 3.6V HOC, 3.0V by chemistry so no circuit needed

I've had no probs using the 3V by chemistry cells in various 6V xenon lights.

BTW, anyone else notice the E2D's threads aren't as smooth as other SFs (like my Z2 and C2)? It feels similar to my good chinese lights. Not complaining, just an observation.

JSR - Thanks for the reply. I think I will use AW's Life PO4 cells (rated 3.2V by chemistry) in my e2e with the original Lamp. From your post it looks like they may work well. I will be sure to let the batteries rest for a couple of hours to make sure that the voltage settles so I don't fry (no pun intended :grin2: ) my light.

The 6V light is brighter running off the 3V R123As since there's no sag and the bulb is actually being slightly overdriven, but it's nice and bright and white. I doubt it takes a lot of life away, some, but probably not a lot. Plus, with the Lumens Factory LAs available, there's more options for replacements.

I've ordered the extreme output LF 7.2V 150 Lumen lamp. Can't wait to try that out with the RCR 3.7V 123A's. Probably a better setup but we'll see.

With this post I am now "enlightened":lolsign:

E2D ROCKS!!! It was my first Surefire, and now I am sold on them.

No problems with customs etc?? Take care, this is only the beginning of some light(ning) madness..

Gratulerer!!

Nope, it came in the mailbox without beeing trough customs :)
