What color options will the SureFire E2D be offered in, black HAIII, natural HAIII, or both? Can someone with a new 2004 SureFire catalog please look it up?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Do you know if it comes with a clickie tail cap?
Yes,
It is a "guarded" version of the Z57 clickie. Although HA black with the engraving of E2 Defender on the side, a quick inspection with a UV light will reveal the message: "MOD ME" in large block letters! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif I got it loud and clear! Thank you for the prompt response.

I just remembered, on Meridian Tactical’s website, there is a picture of the E2 Defender in natural HAIII. If I preorder one, am I going to get a natural HAIII or a black HAIII?

The E2d Defender only comes in Black HA.
Of course there this product has been in development and so there may be a few photos of proto-types floating around.

What is the difference between E2e Defender and E2d Defender?
Is there any hope for L4 Defender?
Thanks!

The E2e Defender is a concept I came up with whilst writing that post - it's like an E2d Defender only without the E2d TailCap... As far as I know, only two people (and perhaps Don?) have the parts to make one in Black HA.
[Please note that if you think the above is a coverup for a typo I made in my post above, you can think that but I can't possibly comment]
As for The L4 Defender. I've not seen any proto-types from SureFire.

ajnova,
If you don't mind a bit of mix in color, a L4 defender is within reach as soon as the E2D's come out. It is unfortunate for those of us who "can't leave well enough alone" that the KL4 is NOT available in black.
Al,
I can assemble a black E2e Defender but we need Ricky to fix the engraving. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif While he's at it, perhaps an E3e Defender or simply a pedestrian E3d Defender would be nice as well.
Now the one I'm partial to is the E2d body and tail with a KL4 head (hosting Lux III and 917 ma DB) crowned by the E2d bezel. SInce it's a deviate, the clickie innards are replaced with a two stage, lock out module. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif (It's those dang MOD ME instructions /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

PK and SF had some special SHOT show E2d's made up for the show. The special amounted to "SHOT Show 2004" engraving along with PK's logo on the bezel. I think some photos of these have been seen here and there.
Paul sent one to me for photo ops as well as some "in situ" testing over here on Maui. As is, this is a great light! I have taken it snorkeling numerous times and had it down to probably 15'. It has remained bone dry inside and the switch works great underwater. The MN03 lamp has proven effiecient for checking under coral ledges and in holes for critters in hiding. The E2d is not designed as a dive light nor are there any claims in regards to this application but to consider the light as merely water resistant doesn't do it justice, IMHO.
With the guarded clickie, domed window and "toothed" bezel, I think the E2d has taken the E2e to another level of dependability and utility. I can't comment on the tactical advantages as I know nothing about tactical but as a simple civilian, I do have a sense of my ability to defend myself being enhanced with the E2d in hand.
Just yesterday, in an encounter with one of Maui's versions of the feared Komodo Dragons, the E2d proved up to the task:
These somewhat smaller cousins to the Komodo can't chase dowh a deer for a meal but they can make a knat's life miserable, if not short. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
Joking aside, this light is a great addition to the SF line, IMHO.

wow ! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/huh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif
what a NICE photo!
and the light is not bad either ... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
what good is the domed lens?

Bernhard,
Thanks. The domed lens is likely stronger and it will allow for the larger P61 lamp envelope for those who want 120 lumens in a pocket light. I don't believe these reasons were necessarily at the top of the list for SF though. From a tactical standpoint, a flat lens can act as a signal mirror whereas a domed one will not. I believe the lens also tighten's the beam a tad. All in all, I think it is just a better part and that's likely why SF went to them. I stand behind my sig line on these comments. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It doesn't change it in a significant way. I don't think "Wow! Look at the difference!". Infact, I don't think I could tell an E2e beam from an E2d beam - certainly not in use. The crenelations do cast shadows into the outer edge of the surround beam though at close range but the central beam is the same as far as I can tell.

Klaus,
I don't know about the domed window fitting properly in the original bezel and seating and sealing properly. The only example I have is the one shown and I haven't done anything *to* it yet. SInce SF has historically sold the head, bezel and window complete, it may be a bit of a mute point anyway. Since the X200 also has a domed window, I think a trend might be in evidence here. Cool, IMHO.
