My L1 is not any less bright than my E1B so I don't have that motivation to carry the E1B. I personally find the dual output clickie UI annoying, and the E1B is too short for my hand just like the E1L so it isn't racking up points so far.
The two-way PocketClip is neat for bezel-long, short-bodied flashlights like the E1B, E1L but I have no need for it on the L1.
I guess each person must decide for themselves.
I apologise that I have not been more clear - I love SureFire's two-stage push button pressure switch UI as used by the L1, L2, A2, K2 & 10X.Kind of on topic, but what tail cap can I put on my L1 (Gen5?) that will make it one stage, as, like SIZE 15's, the two-stage tail cap annoys the heck out of me. Thanks for any help!
