SureFire E Series:

MN01 - E1 Lamp Module
MN03 - E2 Lamp Module

SureFire SF123A Lithium 3V batteries are the best in my, and others experience. They are good value when you buy atleat a dozen.

If your E2 doesn't have a Lanyard Attach Point on the PocketClip, you might be able to fit one as a replacement [depending on whether you can obtain one from SureFire, and more importantly, remove the exsisting PocketClip using one of Alan's Keys].
If your do have such an attach point, you can buy a SureFire Lanyard or get an SC1 and take the Lanyard off it (I'd suggest it)

Next year, you'll be able to buy a LockOut TailCap for your E Series Lights, as well as buy a new Bezel if you wish (with Pyrex Lens)
These will increase the water-resistance.

There is likely to be a long-runtime / low output lamp for the E2 (MN02) released next year. We are hoping for a compact TurboHead and high output lamp too.

There are some BeamFilters available for the E Series F0x in Red/Blue and BeamShaper for a flood beam for close-range illumination.

I believe SureFire will release a range of holsters and pouches next year too.

Does this help?

Will we be able to retrofit our current E2's with either/both the pyrex lens and lockout tailcap without having to buy a new light? (If so, maybe cheaper just to buy a new light). Also is the low output lamp pretty certain or still pretty much speculation like the high output lamp?

I'm pretty certain that the MN02 is a 23Lu output... I'm not sure where I read that.

Of course, I'd personally prefer the MN02 to be a high output E1 lamp and the MN04 to be a high output E2 lamps...

Regarding whether it'll be cheaper to buy a whole new light - I think it may work out easier and give you a betterlight. You won't have any PocketClip if you put the new Bezel on the old body, and the water-resistance will not be as good as a whole new unit. Colour matching of parts may not be possible either?
