SureFire E2E Runtime (with MN03-MN02)

I am extremely impressed with the runtime found in the new MN02 lamp for the E2E. With the MN02 and fresh set of cells, you easily get 2-full hours of very bright light. From 11:07 until 13:32, I would consider the light to be very usable light. Since 13:32 (it's now 13:46), brightness is dropping off quickly, but is still very usable light. At it's current state, it rates somewhere between a MAG Solitiare and a MAG 2-AA in brightness and usable light.

With the stock MN03, I experienced about 1-hours worth of bright light. The next 15-30 minutes was somewhat usable light, but just barely.

2hours 25minutes from a constant-on MN02, that is pretty impressive. I've heard some good reports of the MN02. Maybe I'll get a couple - even though it's only a 25 Lumen ......

I wish there could be a MN04 for the E-series: if the MN02 is so efficient, a 120 Lumen might possibly have a *useful* runtime, even at that power level. Over 20 minutes anyway.

But I'm comparing that with my experience of having had way over an hour with an MN03, more like 75+ minutes with SF123s.
