Has anyone done any runtimes with the new Surefire 2 stage E1L Outdoorsman? I think I only seen one very short review on this light. I am suprised there isn't more talk about it.

I went to a sports store that carried Surefire but they only had the older single stage model that I think still uses a Lux. I was bummed.

Thanks.

My two-level E1L Cree draws 348 mA at the 45 lumen level and 46 mA at the 3 lumen level.

With a 1400 mAH capacity battery, I estimate about a 4 hour runtime using the 45 lumen setting.

My single level E1L Cree drew 198 mA at 30 lumens output.

Thanks - those figures give a good idea of performance and runtime. I like the output runtime combination. Now I need to find a local store to buy it "under the radar" so no package shows up at the house!
