For me, it would have to be the E-series EO-E2R with the D26 HO-9 assembly coming in at a very close second.

The 150 lumen 7.2V EO-E2R has really breathed new life into the E2E platform from Sure-Fire and has put the E2E back on the top of the heap for personal EDC lights with tactical brightness. Seeing P61 type output coming from a rechargeable E2E is simply incredible.

The HO-9 has cause the Sure-Fire 26mm sized lights to actually have some throw now, which makes them much more useful now in situations other than just sweeping a house for baddies. I use my C3 Centurion ALL THE TIME now.

I'd like to hear what others have to say.
 
For me it is the EO9, utilised in the Wolf Eyes Raider with 2 x 18500's. Great output from a reasonable sized light and added to that a decent runtime.

I have only just got a EO13 so haven't really had much time to use it, but it is also very impressive.
 
I couldn't agree with you more.

Being able to have the E2E rechargable and near P61 lumens is fantastic. And, making the 6P/G2/C2 rechargable as well as the 9P/G3/C3 lights, both with bright lamps with throw, is just what the doctor ordered.

I run the HO-9 in the 6P with 2 x RCR123's and the EO-9 in my 9P with 2 x 17670's.

Lovely guilt free high lumens. :twothumbs

An E2E with an EO-E2R is on my short list. I thought the 6P/G2's would be small enough and bright enough. I was right. But how cool would a smaller rechargable, almost P61 be!! :thumbsup:
 
Lumens Factory lamps.........are in every incan I have.....nearly.

I have the following;
EO-E1R in my E1E
EO-E2R in my E2E
EO-4 in my Sniper
EO-9 in my Raider
EO-9L in my Rattlesnake

I think thats about it. All my SF and WE lamps are in the draw somewhere.......need I say more?
 
Loving my new HO-M3T. 2x18650 rechargeable bliss. Very white with a great spot. I plan on getting more LF assemblies in the future, they are high quality and give me rechargeable options.
 
Of those I've used:
The HO-M3 and HO-M3T give what I would call "perfect" beams.
After that the EO-M3T with it's wider spot.
Then the EO-9L which also has a wonderful spot, and spill that is bright, though not perfectly even.
Then the E series with their wonderful spill, if not quite wonderful spots.
The D26 series have the worst overall beam characteristics, with the least consistent spots, and uneven spill, though they're all pretty good, IMO. The ES-9 is probably my most used Lumens Factory lamp, since that's what I use in my work light right now. The HO-4 was similar. HO-9 provides a similar beam with a lot more light in a larger wider spot, but is more than I need, plus shorter runtime, so rarely gets used. I just got another one recently, though I may go back to the WE 9V D26...
I've had over a dozen total, several "9V" lamps from each series, plus the HO-4, and have had the opportunity to check out others like all of the options for the E1 that my friend Robocop has. I currently use LF lamp assemblies in all of my incans, though most have been sold as I pare down my collection. Right now I have several HO-M3s, a couple of HO-M3Ts, an ES-9 and HO-9.
The options made available by Lumens Factory are what turned me back to incandescents, and what have turned out to be my favorite lights(M3 and M3T) would not have been so, or been bought for that matter, if it weren't for Lumens Factory lamps. I've also had occasion to experience their customer service due to a shipping mishap. Their service is excellent.
Guess you could say I'm a "fan". I'm not a fan of many things.
