Sports reviews of SureFire E2D LED Defender Dual-Output LED (200 Lumens)Customer Review: Takes a beating Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased my E2D LED Defender about 3 years ago while I was in Iraq. I needed a second light in addition to the tac-light on my weapon (SureFire Scout Lite M900...highly recommended as well). Few notes below:
Durable: The LED feature sold me. Far more durable than the regular bulbs. There is a great lens on this light. Very thick and does a great job focusing the light. Also, I don't know if this is a specified feature, but my light spent over a day wallowing in diesel fuel (almost completely submersed). I cleaned the light with non-corrosive oil and that was it...still lighting up the night.
Shock Proof: I have no idea how many times I dropped this with no negative effect to the light. This light was on me during a dismounted patrol when we were hit with an enemy fragmentation grenade. It blew out four of our tac-lights on our weapons, but I had my E2D as back up to assist in clearing the area. The light was clipped to my belt on the side of the blast, so it was even more exposed than my weapon light. Could we file this under 'lifesaver'?
Battery life: Dual output feature is great. I sort of overlooked this feature when I purchased it. Having a high output and low output is an excellent ability for the user. High output is great for outdoor use and temporary blinding. Low output is ideal for indoor use when you don't want to compromise your natural night vision.
Defender Bezel: Another feature I overlooked. I never used it in a 'defensive' manner, but it contributes to the durability. Dropping the light lens first, countless times, has done nothing to the light. Additionally, this bezel is great for breaking windows (non-ballistic of course). Occassionally breaking a window on a local national's vehicle/home is mission essential (extracting people from vehicle accidents, gaining access to the vic/house without using a known entry point, or many other reasons). Hot knife through butter.
So far my light has spent 10 months in Iraq, 13 months state-side in training areas, and 5 months (and going) in Afghanistan. Initially, I was apprehensive about paying $120 for a backup light. Knowing what I know now, I would have paid twice the asking price. This is one of those items that is an essential part of my kit and I will own one for the rest of my life. Should this one ever fail...doubtful...I will certainly purchase another one. I'm not sure why it is so much now, but look around the net for the same light. I know you can get it for less.
Description of SureFire E2D LED Defender Dual-Output LED (200 Lumens)The E2D LED is a compact, dual-output flashlight with self-defense enhancements. It features a virtually indestructible power-regulated LED emitter and a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens. The E2D LED's pushbutton tailcap click switch lets you activate the flashlight and select output level: press or click for a 200-lumen high beam?ten times the light of a big two-D-cell flashlight, more than enough to overwhelm an aggressor's night-adapted vision; release or click off and press or click again for a 5-lumen ultra long-runtime low beam that's suitable for navigating around a dark room or parking lot. The Defender's crenellated Strike Bezel and scalloped tailcap provide further defensive options should the need arise. The E2DL Defender LED Flashlight performs double duty as both a high-quality, everyday flashlight and a reliable self-defense tool. The durable and compact flashlight provides dual-output LED lighting with a virtually indestructible power-regulated LED emitter. With a tactical high mode of 200 lumens, the E2DL Defender can overwhelm an aggressor's night adapted vision instantly. The Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens focuses the light into a powerful beam that will still cast a wide enough swath for peripheral vision. Meanwhile, the flashlight's scalloped tailcap and Crenellated Strike Bezel provide additional tools for your defense. The E2DL Defender is operated by a pushbutton tailcap that allows you to activate the light's high beam instantly or select between modes. The low, 5-lumen output offers runtimes of up to 76 hours for long-term, navigational use. Built to last, the E2DL Defender features a mil-spec type III build of hard, anodized aerospace aluminum. The handle is textured for a secure grip, and the flashlight is equipped with a belt clip for easy carrying. Features: - Virtually indestructible, microprocessor-controlled light emitting diode (LED)
