Surefire EDCL1-T

you can unscrew the boot retaining ring...?

Yea. It's the same thread size as all the other e series boot retaining rings.

oh wow, I never realized that, I've just tried it on mine. At least I could get in there and clean the rubber boot nice and well. cool, thanks!

Was just looking around Surefire's website - it looks like the EDCL1-T and EDCL2-T have had their tailcaps updated to be flared slightly and incorporate a lanyard with lanyard ring. Has anyone seen one of these models in the wild?

Looks like a Tactician tail cap, but don't know if it's the same...

 

[Megalamuffin]

It would have to be different since the tactician cap is not compatible with gas pedal switch lights and vice versa. Gas pedal switches are longer than a regular e series switch.

Japanese modders got a rather interesting result by replacing the LED in the EDCL1T with Osram

本日、STREAMLIGHT 1L1AA のカスタムをご紹介したばかりなのですが、H2Tに依頼済みの分でEDCL1-Tが仕上がってきたので、こちらもご紹介いたしましょう。 以前E2DLU-4Sと言うロングスローカスタムのご紹介をいたいましたが、それと同じく飛距離に特化したカスタムモデル

If the second and third pictures are "before" on the left and "after" on the right then they've got a real nice light saber going there.

Does any manufacturer make a clicky tail cap for the EDCL1-T?
Thank you.

Such a thing doesn't exist as far as I know. You can always put the edc head on a clicky e series body, but the edc head only works on high with that setup.

I put an EB1c clicky on my EDCL-2T and it only worked had high mode.

 

[tango44]

Yes, I'm aware that EB1 and EB2 tailcaps will work on the EDCL1 on high mode only, but it's almost imposible to find these...
Thank you.

not that I know of, but you can put the head on a Malkoff CR123 body and it works well
( high only, obviously... )

Careful, this combo crushes cell buttons for me. YMMV and it may not be a problem for 123s but I didn't want it to happen to my rechargeables.

Hmm.... High only.... Would make for an excellent little compact, true tactical light.

if you want to be tactical, go the other way around, put a Malkoff E2XT on the EDCL1-T host, pop in a RCR123 and you have a light carry photon cannon in your pocket

Off topic but the Tactician head on a Malkoff unshrouded MDC body is very compact and quite awesome with the Efest flat-top RCR.

for your amusement I've decided to measure the EDCL1-T regarding light quality
in broad strokes it's a 5500K 65 CRI emitter, in more detail:

Quality of light isn't great but it's bright, efficient and reliable. Good enough to get the job done.

yeah, it's more of a fun fact type of eval than an important one
