Hello all,
Long time reader, first time poster.
I just purchased a Surefire EB1 Backup with Tactical tail switch. The high setting (200 lumens) is very bright with a well defined hot spot, no problem there. Where I am having an issue is with the low setting. It is supposed to be only 5 lumens, but it seems MUCH brighter. It actually appears to be at least 100 lumens comparing it to other lights I have. There is a noticeable, but only moderate difference between the low and high settings when I change between them- definitely not a 195 lumen difference.
Has anyone had this issue with Surefire lights before? This is actually the second EB1 I've purchased. I got the first one earlier this week and had the same issue, so I returned it through Amazon, and got another...but the problem is present in the second one. This leaves me wondering if it's two consecutive faulty lights or if I'm going a little crazy.
I have attached a photo showing the difference between the Low/High settings on the EB1 and the Low setting on my Streamlight ProTac 1L, which has a rating of 12 lumens.
Thank you all in advance.
