What´s your favorite original Surefire LED flashlight ?

What´s your favorite original (non modded) Surefire LED light ? And why ??

It has to be a model that you actually own!

I just bought a E1L Outdoorsman and I gotta say I loved the small size, the perfect anodization, the knurling, the tint, the output...

Right now, my E1L Outdoorsman is my favorite original Surefire flashlight.

I already have a E1B and a L1. I love 1xCR123 lights and my new E1L looks perfect. And it´s more powerful than I expected. Surefire was very conservative with the "45 lumens" spec. It looks as bright as my Quark AA in turbo mode!

Runtime is also great for it´s power and size.
Even the tint is perfect: cool white, with no sign of green or purple.

Congrats to Surefire for this awesome light! :twothumbs

I'd have to second the E1L.

Settings are spot on, runtime is great, the optic gives it such a useful beam. I've even come around to loving the bezel up pocket clip!

What if I can't decide???

L1 (original version)? U2A? Kroma MS?

It's really hard to decide. I would say my current favorite to be the LX2. Just loved the UI and the power that comes from it. The next best thing that I have would be the E1B and since you own it I don't think there is much to be said. I am very much looking forward to the LX1 since I am a big fan of the UI.

LX2. Perfect, straight out of the box.

E1L for me too, for the very same reasons the OP gives. I love it!

Mine would be a U2 Lux V . Love the UI and six levels. Mine has a great beam, warm and no doughnut. It has served me well for over five years.

A very close second is my LX2.

Why?
-90 Lumens of flat regulated, high-CRI light output
-2xRCR123 compatibility
-Beam-shape changes from spot to flood with mode switching
-Red color on low for snooping around at night
-TypeIII olive gray
-Twist + forward momentary reliability + LOTC security

I only have two, and they are both great IMO
T1A & E1B.
I find the T1A much more comfortable to EDC, but the E1B is great at the cabin for outdoor use.

The original E2L KX2 single stage. I have three of them.

They are perfect because of 9+ hours of constant regulated output plus a significant moonlight after that. They are also justabout enough lumens for most tasks and the big throwy TIR beam is exceedingly useful.

My 8 year old Surefire L4!

Out of my older SF lights, the L6 is my favorite. I am reasonably certain that an M3LT will eventually replace that light as my favorite of all time. (Mostly because of the form factor - which I find very comfortable to use.) Sadly I have much smaller lights that are brighter than the L6 and run longer.

My current favorite is the LX2 - which is just perfect.

The E1L, finally purchased after a couple of year of agonizing over paying > $100 for a flashlight.

It was worth it.

Currently it is my only LED SureFire.

I REALLY REALLY want an A2 Incan w/yellow-green or red LEDs, though.

My old luxV L5 is probably my favourite, smooth throwy beam and built like a tank, it has lovely tint as well. Haven't had the heart to jam an mc-e or something in it (yet ), even though my 3 year old fenix p2d has more output . It's a keeper.

L4. I have had mine for about 7 years. The led tint is a little green for 2010 standards, but i love that thing.

E1B!! My favorite non LED is E2E!!

My favorite is an L1 - it's been used more than anything else I've got. My first SF was a Z2 I bought at a local shooting range instead of taking a shotgunning lesson my wife bought me. The Z2 is a close second, and may move into first now that it has a Malkoff M61.

All time favorites are the U2 and L4. Honorable mention to the A2, L1 (Cree), Titan, and LX2 - the latter being the current go-to Surefire.

It's a toss up between the LX2 and the E2DL, but I lean towards the LX2 simply because of the bezel down clip. High output, long runtime, great looking light.

U2 for me. Great user interface and many years of solid service.
