   Bought this to replace an older Surefire E2L that was my edc flashlight. I couldn’t be happier!

   I like the size of this light, small enough to fit in my pocket comfortably but big enough to still feel like a flashlight in my hand.

   I thought I wouldn’t like the new half push for low and full push for full (the E2L clicked once for low and twice for high) but it has grown on me so quickly I actually prefer this.

   The low is perfect for finding things in the dark but the high is plenty bright for lighting up my backyard. Couldn’t ask more of a light this size.

   The quality is what you would expect from Surefire, top notch and solid.

   Love this flashlight!

   If you’re familiar with Surefire flashlights, you probably know they’ve been making flashlights for a long time that have two-stage pressure switches — press a little bit for a little light, press all the way for full blast. If you want the light to stay on, you screw-down the tailcap instead of pressing the switch. This flashlight is the newest iteration of this concept, and it works very well. It also has an optic that allows the light to spread-out more than older Surefire flashlights, so it’s more of a “flooder” than a “thrower” — and that’s okay, because unlike older models, it makes enough light on the high setting that it doesn’t *need* to focus the all the light into a tight beam to illuminate things far away. However, the tailcap is a bit too narrow, and the bi-directional pocket clip (which is a nice thing to have) interferes with getting a good grip on the tailcap when operating the light one-handed. So I stretched a 16mm OD x 5mm CS o-ring over the tailcap and settled it into one of the grooves on the tailcap, to give myself a larger surface to grab with my thumb and forefinger when trying to twist the tailcap one-handed. It’s much easier to use this way, and the o-ring fits so tightly it can even be used as a “cigar ring” if you want to hold the flashlight between your index finger and middle finger. See attached pictures. Would buy again.

   SureFire lights are top notch and well constructed. My light was shipped out and arrived very fast. Owning numerous SureFire lights, I find this one to fit in the pocket very comfortably and with easy access to pull it out on the weak side of my firearm. Videos on YouTube show the light in depth from the 2018 shot show. The length and diameter of the light makes for a comfortable yet tactical carry light. The bezel will not tear your hands or clothes up, like the defender series. The dual stage tail cap is very nice, with a soft push to get a useful 5 lumens for non blinding situations. Push the tail cap all the way down and it is a blinding 500 lumens with plenty of throw and a nice spill of light. With a twist of the tail cap, you can have constant on, if you were to need it. The pocket clip is very sturdy to wear with jeans yet forgiving enough for dress pants. The pocket clip is also designed for bezel up or down carry. The light comes with 1- cr123a Surefire brand battery. Very pleased with this new light.

   テールスイッチの押し加減で２段階の明るさが調整出来て気に入ってます。

   1セルということで傾向性重視かと思いきやヘッドは太く、しっかりと拡散光を発し期待以上ではあったもののバッテリー対比効果としてはまだかなと。
   クリップも両方向から使えるため使いやすいのだがベルトに挟むとなると細過ぎてチャチく感じる。
   シュアはルーメン数よりそのタフなボディと拡散する光が魅力だが…ん〜

   いま一つ…ではないがもう少しタフさが欲しかった。

   As the name Implies this is an amazing EDC light very versatile in my opinion, Don’t let the 5 lumen low output fool you.. its just right if you need low light when needed,The TIR lens just provides the ideal amount of throw and spill beam, Coming from my experience from switching to a streamlight 2LX(500 lumens as well) to this Surefire EDC 1 the surefire has a more natural lighting, Is more compact than any possible competitor,extremely sturdy 2 way clip,and finally it is not a click type tailswitch, momentary on and off just makes more sense with this type of light(twist the tail cap if you want to keep it on), It makes its purpose more versatile. I will be posting an update with pictures and comparisons with competition but just take my word I was hotly debating to my self if this light was worth the money, IT IS WHEN YOU BUY A SUREFIRE YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING QUALITY

   The perfect little light for EDC and an amazing piece of equipment for the money. The clip is very strong. The durability is solid. The 5 lumen press isn’t a beam but encompassing as it illuminates your up-close surroundings oppose to throwing light, which is perfect for every day use. Now, when you do press or hold maximum output get ready. It’s absolutely disorienting for anyone on the other end. No bad guy will be able to efficiently counterattack after a quick shine in their eyes.

   123A型一本でコンパクト、ランヤードが標準装備に魅力を感じて購入。久々のEシリーズです。
   やはりモノはいいですね。

   他の方のレビューで、純正リチウムイオンバッテリーが使えなかったご報告がありましたが、当方のものは問題なく使えました。ロットの問題？
   まあその辺りはよくも悪くもアメリカ製なのか･･･
   本製品ではありませんが、写真の純正フィルターFM70も格好いいのでオススメです！
   （これだけでライト一本買える値段しますけどね…）

    The light feels so nice in the hand, very well balanced and grippy. I have the one cell version and it fits in my jean’s pocket without any trouble.

    The beam has a yellow-green tint, visibly at 5 lumens but I don’t have a problem with it. 500 lumens is great with a wide, floodier beam than Surefire’s previous TIR generations.

    The tail cap is where the magic is. Press a little for low, press harder for high. Twist a little for constant low, more for constant high. It’s a no brainer.

    However, the cap is stiff to press and stiff to rotate as well. I could perhaps replace the spring and lube the threads to fix these points.

    Made in USA. Highly recommended. Now I want the 2 cells version badly.

    Despite being an excellent and recognized brand, the EDCL-1-T tactical focus does not meet my expectations. Regarding its shape and ergonomics, I have nothing to object, but the power button does not allow you to leave the light working, if you want to do it, you must take it with both hands, rotate the part of the base until the light is fixed. This is not functional at all. It is too uncomfortable. It is not possible that a tactical bulb needs to be manipulated with 2 hands and requires so much work to leave the light working. It’s a shame, I expected more from Surefire.

    What can u say? It’s SUREFIRE! And it’s one of their higher end EDC models. Super bright. Runs on one CR123, lasts tremendously long for only using a single cell battery. Wouldn’t mind if it had rechargeable tech, but Surefire offers that in different models. Buy with confidence.
