I don't own any surefires, but reviews I came across for E2E was sweet, don't sell it! It looks like you hit a dud... it's unatural for a Xenon bulb to have *POOF* so fast. Did you check the bulb closely if the filamen was snapped or there's a black spot? You could check the bulb assembly. Rookiedaddy is a fan of surefire i guess biggrin.gif, he may help you with some mods or replacement.

I just got my surefire E2E this morning. I got AW batteries standing by. Firstly, the tube is too small for the AW 17670 so I put in 2 x AWRCR123. The bulb lights up for a second, then no more no matter how I twist or turn. Later I took out the 2 x RCR123, shave off a bit of the bottom 17670 and put it in also cannot light up.
Looks like the bulb is blown.  sad.gif  Is there any cree drop-off for this size. The diameter of the reflector is smaller than the surefire 6P.
I'm so dissappointed. Maybe I should just sell the body off.
*
2 x RCR123 = 2 x 3.6V, so the bulb went poof.

There's not many LED drop-ins for E-series. I put Koala's F1 MicroTower with Rebel LED on mine.

You could look for KL4/E1B/E2DL head if you want to use LED instead of incand.

I agree with the poster above. You probably fried your bulb. But it's ok, an excuse for an upgrade. smile.gif

Yep, the bulb is definitely out. I think the filament is broken.
Like you... I'm waiting for LumensFactory stuffs from Philightsophy too... drool.gif now... those IMR bulb sure looks attractive... hahaha... but the heat warning worries me, so I'm playing safe and get the EO and HO bulbs.

Ya..luckily he got pm contact with me so I also buy from Philightsophy, but not EO, might as well get the brightest, the IMR-E2. Not forgetting also some hard to find AW IMR123, 550mAh LiMN. brows.gif 350 Lumens from E2E. rclxms.gif

jwyj, I'm also getting the SR for daily use, good enough lumens with longer runtime. Are you getting the LF Seraph? Looks like pretty good host for lego. I'm going for the SP-9.

Seraph will comes as a complete flashlight, either LED or Xenon. I'm going for Xenon and the parts are interchangeable with Surefire's. I'm gonna use it as a host for D26 (P60-type) drop-in. The advantage is it supports 18xxx size rechargeable and comes complete with 2 switches -- clicky and twisty. I believe Philightsophy will bring in a few configurations. thumbup.gif

Interesting, same info here from Lumensfactory?. Technically, why choose a Xenon? Or you're just an incan fan? wink.gif

Hi and greeting to all my fellow lowyat.net forumers! I usually troll around the wii and xbox sections, didn't know that there is a Torchlight collectors post in lowyat.net too. Hehe.. I recently just bought another torchlight from Pelican. This time a Trekker light so I can go hiking in FRIM this weekend with my wife. smile.gif It's black colour. My other ones are a Nemo and a Sabrelight which I use for Diving. No problems with either (so far), except that the Sabrelight was flooded during one of my dive trips. smile.gif But I got it replaced by one of the Pelican distributors here in Malaysia and they were nice enough to inform me that the Sabrelight is not meant for diving (bought mine from hobby sports but they were kind enough to help me get replacement parts even though I didn't buy the Sabrelight from them). thumbup.gif

I think they are located in Jalan Klang Lama. They web address is http://www.peli.com.my. I can't remember the phone number of their showroom from the top of my head but I think it's on their website somewhere. I called them up and spoke to a girl name Angeline. She was really friendly. She said will help with the replacement of parts even though I didn't buy it from them. I felt bad so last Tuesday, I went back over there and bought a Trekker light and a 1500EMS case to keep my Ipod, PSP and handphone dry while I dive from them. smile.gif Great customer service. Highly recommended! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Btw, what do you guys think of the Surefire lights? Is it any good? What is the price range I'm looking at? Is it more expensive than Pelican lights? I saw some at the Curve the other day...

Hi Friedricetheman, thanks for your intro, info and welcome to the Bright Side! biggrin.gif

About surefire lights, I'll let the owners comment smile.gif But the price is a lot more than pelican lights. Slight cheaper than Surefire but of similar quality and popular are Fenix, Quark, Jetbeam, Eagletac, Olight, Tiablo and depending on which model you're looking at.

Are you looking for lights that are speficic for diving? I own Fenix lights and a Quark but I can't really say that they're good for diving. Even though manufacturer's spec is IPX-8 standard, I only trust these lights can be submerge in swimming pool 1-3m deep for limited time. But not so sure about higher preasure like diving. Perhaps someone here with that experience can tell us. Don't get me wrong but these lights I've mentioned are very good for their electronics, regulation, user interface, everday use and they can take unusual punishment. Just that diving category might be different.

How deep do you dive and how's your pelican nemo holding up? Can you tell us the model you're using?

Here's my 2¢. I don't own any but played with some. Surefires are something you can trust. They have the most complete line of lights and accessories. Probably one of the best warranty. Some lights are truly awesome and out of this world. But the price also reflects the build and engineering that has gone into them. Also, they are somewhat less versatile.
