I used to have a Surefire E2O running on MN02 and MN03 lamps and was very pleased with the 60 lumen output of the MN03. Unfortunately, the lamps needed replacing every quarter or thereabouts and I found this expensive.
For this reason I switched to LED (Streamlight ProPolymer 3C) and am happy with this flashlight but sometimes I need to carry it in a coat pocket and find it a little too big for this as it tends to fall out when fishing or working outdoors.
I bought a Fenix T1 Q5 yesterday, primarily for it's extended runtime at 60 lumens but find the quality and output of light disappointing when compared to the earlier MN03 lamp for general outdoor use.
I would like something that is brighter at say 50 yards (more is welcome) and don't mind using a flashlight that has more of a spot than flood. Hence, I would like to know if the Surefire E2L (45 lumens) has a more concentrated beam compared to the Fenix T1 Q5.
A little more throw and brightness with a long regulated runtime is what I am after.
Thanks.
