I am looking at the E1L, E2l, or L1 as my first Surefire LED.
The L1 and L2 both have a cool 2-level button. Push halfway for low power, all the way for full power. Two levels, but no goofy multi-clicking to select them. The only thing I don't like about the L2 is it is 6.2" long, which is just too long for me as a pocketable flashlight.
But I might just go for the E2L. If I need a low-power flashlight for extended use, I can't seriously claim I won't still be carrying a AAA Fenix or something similar.
The E1L is officially still in the race for its small size (and price), but I feel like a mere 30 lumens is not "cool" enough.
30 lumens is probably as much as I will ever
really need, but I am not buying a $80+ flashlight for practicality.
