SUREFIRE EDCL-2T

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

I read in the EDCL-1T thread that the 1T is not suppose to ship until 12/30. Anyone have any idea when the 2T will ship? I am hoping it won't be that long.
 
Borrowed from a ballistic radio Facebook posting and edited to make 2 into one with the words added.

I'm curious to know what real world run times are going to be. My e1b MV is rated by Surefire at 1.25 hours. I got about 20 minutes out of the original Surefire factory battery until the light was too dim and flickering for me to use.

This light is rated at 1.00 hours by Surefire. Does that mean I'll get about 15 minutes of real world use before the light is unusable?
 
Mine still appears to be on back order, did anyone have their light yet.

I am excited about this light. I agree with those that have already brought up the point that this is more if a tactical light than an edc light. Today while using my aviator, the 250 lumens was too much, so I can only imagine that the 1200 lumens will be too much for any close in use.

Mine seemed short too however, Foursevens mini Mk2 seems to be even brighter. Anyone know the run time on it?

If the UM2 is any indication, the newer TIR optics have broader beams than before, and now with 1200 lumens to play with they can afford both a significant reach as well as coverage.

Now I am a bit sad that no future UM2s are in the pipeline, the new LED could have been a real asset with the 6 level light.

Oh yes, a 6 level light with this LED would be great.
 
After having watched the Sage Dynamics videos on handheld techniques I realised some of my torches may not fit the purpose anymore.

I sold my Fury as I wasn’t happy with the after sales service I received, and instead of replacing it with an Elzetta Bravo I opted for the Alpha. Loved it, and suddenly fell out of love with it and sold it on a whim.

Nowadays my only tac lights are the Surefire 6Ps, the one with an M61 dropin. Around 325 lumens I think? It’s plenty bright but not quite bright enough.

I’m trying to move away from primaries as they are stupid expensive in my country and in a light like this they will get fried in no time.

However, having regard to the intended use of this light (MUC etc) I think it’s maybe, maybe just worthwhile. I carry another light for navigation and other utility tasks anyway which can take rechargeables.

So, the question I have (I can probably just google it but I would like to hear here), are the electronics potted?

As an LEO I have both the EDCL 1 and 2 on order. (It was time to update my lights for work). I can't wait to get them and put them into use.

Question for you: How do you carry these while on duty? Don't want to derail the thread and turn it into a holster discussion. Just wondering how you plan to carry the EDCL-2T

The 2T will be my backup light while I am on duty. It will be carried in my left cargo pocket with the pocket clip attached to the top of the pocket. The flap at the top of the pocket will then cover the top of the light and keep it from falling out. I have carried a back up light like this for years and it has always worked for me.

The 1T will be used for plain clothes days and will just be thrown in a jeans pocket.
 
Every surefire light I have picked up just “feels” solidly built. I’m sure there’s no exception to this new one. Nice to see the lumen increase too along with surefires in house warranty service backing their products.

I believe Surefire uses conformal coating on most if not all of their lights. It is another method that provides similar benefits to potting.

Yes, like Tachead said its another method, electronics fully protected/covered with a layer of epoxy or something like that.
