Who still carries a Surefire E2e?

[kelmo]

... it was affectionately nick named the "Rape flashlight" (think Rape whistle)...

I call mine "Xenon, Warrior Princess!"

I still use one. And now, having heard from Lumens Factory that they will put out some 3 mode led drop ins for it in the next couple of weeks,,,, I may never let it out of my hands!

My brand new E2E is beautiful. I cant decide if I want to go the higher power route or go for a long running low power lamp. Maybe Ill have to get another E2E ;)

I am patiently waiting on mine to be delivered.

I highly recommend the LX2 clip for the E2E. I replaced the stock clip as soon as I got it today.

Thanks for the tip! I am going to make the switch tonight... in all honesty, I dislike the LX2 clip on the LX2, it is great for carry, but really gets in the way of rotating the tailcap.

I agree. I de-clipped my LX2 and I carry it on a lanyard that I made.

The clip feels like it was made for the E2E haha :laughing:

When I need an incandescent for best color rendering, or I am in the woods, I still use the E2e. Among the bunch, I have a tear drop grey one which is wonderful.
When LF bulbs come out first, I tought to switch back EDC type, from LED to incandescent. I have an attraction for the warm of tungsten. LF bulbs allowed to use 17670 in the E2e, so I acquired a number of 3.7 V 90 lumen LF bubs and an handful of AW 17670s. I was happy for 20 hrs...

I use the my main EDC heavily. Let's say it is on at least two hours per day. After two weeks, the bulb needed replacement, they have a life of just 20 hours (they don't necessary blewout, but they blacken to the point of emitting 30-40 lumens with the spectrum totally messed up). I went on for a month or two, but I eventually went back to EDC the L4. (in four years I only replaced the LuxV twice).

Today, I dont' EDC an incandescent anymore. Whenever I have a complete lighting set with me, there always is an E2e in stock form (MN03 with 2x123).

If lamps are xenon-halogen filled like Surefire lamps they don't do that, whereas the LF are pure xenon and darken with use. I don't use my LF lamps as much as a result, they go black after awhile. For extended runtime I use the SF P90's generally because they don't blacken, too bad SF never came out with a 9v e-series lamp. Maybe orange colored base like the old MN10's. :D

I wish there was a three cell version of the clip :thumbsup: I will have to try one of these someday, do you use a Z57 or Z52? I was wondering if that clip gets in the way of the twisty operation like users report with the LX2. I'd really like a three cell version of the LX2 clip.
