Does anyone know why Surefire hasn't/can't build an E1L sized light that peforms like the L1 (30 lumes, two light levels)? I guess in other words, why does the L1 have to be so large for a 1 cell light.

The L1/L2 are larger for their size (vs. E1L/L4) because of the electronics inside the body.

You can put a two stage McGizmo kit into an E series tailcap though. So you'll have an L1 in a E1L form factor.

So they can sell them to us cheaper and in slimmer form factor.

I modded my E1L's z57 tailcap with a 20 ohm 1/4 watt.

I can tell now that i have run a couple batts through mine that the low beam is lower then when it drops out of regulation.If that makes sense?
