I have had a Surefire LX2 Lumamax for a few years and currently I am looking for an additional one to leave in a car. I see that it is no longer made by Surefire and can't find a direct replacement. The EDCL2-T looks similar though. What would you say the direct replacement for the LX2 Lumamax is?

IMHO.. the next one in line was the EB2T-A-BK(black) or TN(tan) Backup, 5/500 with two level momentary or twist on just like the LX2. It has just a bit wider hot spot. You might be able to find some of those still around. I have both that and my LX2 and love both. Then you are correct.. the EDCL2-T is the next one in line at 5/1200 lumens with the same tail cap operation as the LX2.
The only real main difference of those two vs the LX2 is the lower is 5 lumens instead of 15.

Thanks, I'll check out the EB2T-A. Did the EDCL2-T replace the EB2T-A?
I'm not looking to replace my LX2, but to purchase an additional light. Finding another LX2 has been near impossible and I haven't been able to win an eBay auction so far.

The edcl2-t also has a high of 1200 lumens for 1 hour vs. 200 for 2 hours for the lx2. Runtimes on low are 15 lumens for 47 hours for the lx2 and 5 lumens for 60 hours for the edcl2-t. The edcl2-t is also slightly longer with a slightly larger bezel and knurling on the body and tailcap, wheras the lx2 is smooth.
That's quite a difference going from 200 lumens to 1200 lumens.

Try a WTB here ??
I do not understand why surefire still has it on their website. "Call to order" I would try it, if I would live in the USA.

I feel you brother. As your neighbor, i have the same problem but luckily one LX2 showed up on ebay few weeks ago BNIP for 90$. Was lucky to grab it.
But i still want that EDCL2-T anyway...
Hehe, yeah. Our only hope is ebay+import taxes or flashlightshop.de.
Oh man that shop is 500% more expensive than any in the world. Keep looking, I have found my after 6 months of every day stalking
))Yes, generally, they are insanely expensive, but at the moment the price of the EDCL1-T at them is almost on pair or little bit lower than ebay+Hungarian import taxes.

That's a noticeable size difference. Is the build quality on the other two lights comparable to the LX2?Thanks, totally did not think to say that the eb2 was a hair bigger..
I didn't think of that, but I will. I found one on eBay that ends soon so if that falls through I will try a WTB here.
My cousin called them about a year ago when he saw my LX2 and was unsuccessful. I'll try next week when I'm free. What's the current price range for the LX2?

Prices are best found by searching completed sales.
I keep forgetting about that feature on eBay!
