What is it about the E2 form factor?

[Chrontius]

Gonna chime in here, too -- there's just something about the E2 and E2E -- though I think the E2E has more of it (when fitted with the long clip; ironically, my Aviator wears the short clip). It's something about how it its the hand; my Inova AA Luxeon light has a lot of it too. Whatever it is results in a willingness to forgive a multitude of sins and outdatedness. Maybe functional perfection is just getting so close to 100% that we ignore the last couple percent and perceive it as actual perfection?

I have yet to experience a Z52, but I imagine it'll have just as much of the E-series magic.

For the record, the E2 platform is the only Surefire I own two of. Also, despite owning an Aviator and Twisty, I am still regularly tempted to EDC the venerable Executive.

I EDC my Executive every single day, a retro E1. 'Course, the emitter isn't exactly stock... :devil:

another one of milky's room sweeper mod?

I don't know either. I have quite a few. I've got a E2e kit stashed at work. They are perfect right out of the box. With the MN02 LA you have a great camping light.

The summer season brings out my incans since I don't need a long running light with the longer brighter days.

The E2e, M2, and M6 are my "Boys of Summer!!!"

E1E has to be my next favorite form factor. Mine's not exactly "stock" either.

I very much like the E1e. I own several of these.

lol i think the E2E is a sexy flashlight, nothing else out there is " pretty"

my only problem with it ( besides the incan bulb ) is the bezel up clip,

but who really cares.

A poster over in the Malkoff E-Series Heads thread in the LED forums pointed out that LAPoliceGear has E2s on clearance.

Not something you see often with SureFire lights....

I checked the site, and it said the E2E in Black and E2E in Satin Gray are DISCONTINUED!

:eeksign:

Don't know if this is true, but I just plunked down $65 for an E2 in Satin Gray. So I'm either a sucker, or I'm going to be really happy in a few days when the UPS man arrives. :twothumbs

And you might be a happy sucker!

Yeah, I got one of those, too. It was on my "to get" list anyway, so I actually saved money, right? :thumbsup:

After reading this thread, I decided to Buy and try an E2D. I honestly wasn't that optimistic about the E series lights, but upon receiving it today, I have to admit being impressed with the form factor. Perfect, it isn't. But, it is much better than I anticipated.

Now if I could just find an way to inexpensively convert it to LED to make it practical for me to use it as an EDC … :thinking:

Veleno dropins. Lighthound should carry 'em.

I think he would've found one by himself or moved on by now.

BLAST from the past !!!

Man, those Veleno's for single cell use VANISH as they are added to stock...
