Description

The E2L Outdoorsman is a flashlight made by SureFire. It has an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5), based on 2 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The SureFire E2L Outdoorsman is a compact (pocket sized), dual-output LED flashlight with extended runtime. Its virtually indestructible, two-stage light-emitting diode (LED) light source produces a smooth, pre-focused beam that, at maximum output, is three times brighter than that of a big two-D-cell flashlight. At its low setting it produces a useful three lumens of light and continues producing useful light levels for 100 hours on a set of lithium batteries. Small size (it's lightweight enough to clip to hat brim for hands-free operation), dual output, extended runtime, and 10-year battery shelf life make the E2L perfect for camping, backpacking, travel, emergency/disaster preparedness kits, or as an everyday-carry for general use. Dual-output LED light source has no filament to burn out or break, lasts for thousands of hours. Rugged aerospace-grade aluminum body, Mil-Spec Type III hard anodized in olive drab. O-ring sealed, weatherproof. Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens. Pocket clip. Tailcap switch: press for momentary-on, press further to click constant-on. Switch lockout prevents accidental activation during transport or storage. Max Output: High 60 Lumens; Low: 3 Lumens. Runtime: High 11 hours; Low 100 hours. Length: 5.40 in. Weight: 3.70 oz. Battery: Two 123A Lithium (included)."

From REI:
"Sized to fit in a pocket, the deceptively small SureFire E2L flashlight features a two-stage LED that blasts a superbright beam of light. Rugged aerospace-grade aluminum body withstands regular use in the outdoors and around the house; O-rings seal out moisture. Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens focuses light into a smooth beam with maximum output. High and low settings let you choose the lighting level that works best for you; rear push-button on/off switch is simple to operate. Press button part way down for momentary on/off; press farther for constant use. Knurled handle and on/off button provide a sure grip. Clip on handle lets you attach the light to a hat brim, belt or pocket. Operates on 2 CR123 batteries (included); batteries provide up to 100 hrs. of operation on low and 11 hrs. on high."

"I purchased this expensive flashlight gambling that it would actually be worth the extra money. I was looking for the smallest and most durable flashlight I could find that would put out some real candle power.

Well this is it! Was my mainstay for a week in Glacier National Park's backcountry and showed me the way when I was being Bear Aware at night."

"When I received this light I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for. It sure was small enough to be put in an emergency kit or glove box, but it was almost too powerful not to be used regularly.

This light has found a permanent home in a holster on the shoulder strap of my Search and Rescue pack."
