Hi all, I'm a noob and I have a question.
I've been doing a bunch of research on a new flashlight and think I know what I want but I wanted to get some input.
I looking at getting a Surefire E2D partly because I love the look of the light and don't mind paying a little extra for what appears to be a really well made light.
I just need to know if 60 lumens would be sufficient to illuminate an object at about a 25 yard range (the diagonal length of my back yard) and also how wide an area would be illuminated.
FlashLightReviews.com states that the E2D has a 38.73 throw (1 lux of illumination at 38.73 metres) but also states that "1 Lux is a pretty pathetic amount of light". 25 yards would be about 23 metres so how much light can I expect at that range?
Anyone have an E2D? What is the thread dimension in the switch bezel?
