Surefire EDCL1-T

[Tachead]

Fo my uses 10 minutes is ample time. It isn't always easy to find the 200 lumen model brand new with the 2 stage tail. I hate the clicky.

How is the throw on this 500 lumen model?

Oh, ok just wanted to warn you. That is the 400 lumen E1B MV too, this light will likely be even worse(maybe only 7 or 8 minutes of regulation).

Here is one...

I am not sure as no one had posted beam shots yet but, I would guess it's the same as the EDCL2-T(medium throw) but, less bright of course.

Thanks for going to the trouble but I would only want black and would never pay full price. Many dealers slash Surefire list and that is an old model. Thanks though. I'll anxiously await candela readings from cpf members on the edc1-t

No problem.

Me to, well I am more into beamshots then cd readings though.

That one is the clicky not the 2 stage and please refrain from offering up more temptation!

Oh, I thought the ones without the shroud are all 2 stage switches(i could be wrong though).

Lol, ok I will stop. I'll remove the links too.

I did too but the description clearly says clicky and there was no t at the end.

I got my EDCL1-T today. Here are some beam shots I took at work tonight. Sorry if they are not the greatest. They were taken with my cell phone. The storage container is 25 yards away.

Thank you. Nice beam shots. The only issue: automatic exposition has removed the sense of brightness

I am guessing that is a setting with the camera?

I received my edcl1 today. I have been carrying the edcl2 since I got it. My initial impressions of the edcl1 is the beam pattern is tighter then the edcl2. It has a much more defined hot spot then the edcl2. Low is lower then the edcl2 as been stated already. A nice little light but I prefer the edcl2 over it. Will carry the edcl1 for a few days and see how I get along.

The 1 just hasn't piqued my interest Teak. Your observation confirmed why. I'm sure I'd get along with it just fine.

To folks who don't already own any of the E1 or EB1 series this is a good one to start with if looking for one that size.

Maybe in time I'll get one.

 

[teak]

Beam shots between the edcl1 and 2. On the Wall of bins? Hehe 80ish yards to bin.

As you can see the edcl1 has about the same throw as the edcl2 but less spill. The edcl2 just lights up everything.

I’d like an EDCL2-T to use with a 16650 and an EDCL1-T head.

Have you tried this yet?

Yes. I felt the same way. The only reason I got an edcl1 is because of the 2 stage tailcap. It is much improvment over the 2 stage eb1 though. To me anyway. I will probably pick up both to have extras..as in the edcl series. It would be nice to have 3 to 5 extra atleast for when surefire flips thier lids again and goes back to clicky 2 mode worthless lights. Lol. [emoji30] [emoji2]

 

[vadimax]

I am guessing that is a setting with the camera?

Yup. An app automatically ramps up ISO, decreases shutter speed, increases aperture and as a result beamshots of EDCL1-T and EDCL2-T look nearly identical in brightness. Well, 2-T has a wider beam

 

[Sean]

Have you tried this yet?

No, I don’t have an EDCL2-T to try it.

 

[warmpabst]

Just got mine! I'm very impressed with the tailcap.
I purchased it with the intention of pairing it with my edc pistol and I think it works well in that role, just trying to find a good way to carry it. It is a little bulky clipped inside a pocket.
