Customizing a SureFire E2E?

I just bought an E2E on eBay thinking it was about the same size as a C2 but its quite a bit smaller. So now I have a couple questions. Can this light be fitted with a P60 drop in and be bored to accept 18650's? Also it has the incandescent lamp assembly but looks like that can be removed. Honestly, I really like the style of this light and would like to keep it if it can be customized.

A VME bezel can be fitted, to allow use of Malkoff drop-ins (though this bezel may not be compatible with all other P60 drops).

The incandescent lamp is indeed removable.

The threads on the tube will be too thin to reliably bore for 18mm diameter cells. There are some aftermarket tubes that can accommodate these, however (though most of these are now costly and out-of-production).

Of course, if you replace the bezel and the tube ... there's not much E2E left :devil:

There is also the Oveready 1600 Lumen E2E. but that comes ready made

Get a TNC E2C adapter and C series beze from Oveready, then stick a P60 dropin in there and your good to go.

Kinda like this...



(very difficult and next to impossible to bore for 18650, I use 17670 in mine)

HA OD + brass = :twothumbs

Did your E2E come with a bezel down clip, or is that an aftermarket item?

Does anyone know if there is an Incan option with two lifepo cells in an e2e?

Hmm, We still have about 14 x E2e's that are left over after training sessions in 2006 to 2008, and still work.
Would it be economic (iow, what would it cost) to upgrade these to modern requirements? and would those lights compete with modern 2013 lights?

Well, almost anything is "possible" ... Oveready recently modified the E2E to put out about 1600 lumens.

Price, though ... was about $300-400 (each) :devil:

A few more "economical" upgrades have already been listed above ... VME, Malkoff, E2C, and so forth.

I had look up a replacement LA for my e1e the other day and found a lot of great info in there.

So, that would not be practical or economical.
Then We'll probably better of selling them and buy modern/better ones :sigh:

If they are in good shape, it would be the most economic (and boring) solution to sell them on the collectors market and buy some newer LED E-Series like E2DL or ...
The only economic upgrade would the Lumens Factory upgrade, which costs about 50$ per light. The Malkoff/VME combo will be around $100.

Thanks Erzengel,
Good info.
Prices between 50$ and 100$ will be to high to upgrade.
We will sell the lot and use the money to buy tactical replacements. (About 85$ per TL.)
I can live with that.
It is for training students. Hopefully the modern ones will proof to be more sturdy and last longer.
