Hi from a newbie
I got my Backup a few days ago and love the light, even though I just bought a Cree L1, which I also like. The only problem I found with the E1B is that it is a little slick and hard to hold, I also have large hands.
I was at a hardware store this am and bought a 1/8 inch black rubber o-ring with a 1 1/16 inch outside diameter, which slips over the light and sits in the grove on the head very nicely. It looks good and lays right under the index finger when you hold the light, giving you a good grip on the light and stopping it from sliding forward when you press the tailcap.
Simple fix for a great light :twothumbs
