I have never owned Surefire flashlights before and I have a couple questions about my new E2D and A2. My E2 has a lens that is shaped like a dome and my A2 has a flat lens. Why is that? Also my E2's beam is round and my A2's high beam has more of a oval beam is this normal? Last question....the low beam on the A2 using the LED's has a blue tint to it. I was thinking about getting a L series I'm assuming it would have a tint to it too?

Your E2D & A2 are normal.

The 5 watt Luxeons in the L2,L4.L5,L6 are not going to have the same tint as the 5mm LEDs of the A2. The 5 watt Luxeons are usually pretty good, but the tint of the Luxeons still vary to some extent.

The E2d and X200A have domed lenses and more SureFires will in the future. It reduces the amount of reflected light that could give away your position. I believe it is also stronger but I've no personal experience of this.
