GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

This review is from:SureFire E1B Backup E1B-BK-WH LED Flashlight

It is true, very good points do come in small packages. The E1b “Backup” by Surefire could be the perfect example of this.

This light is possibly my favorite light of all of them, and trust me.. I own a really varied collection of flashlights. These are some awesome features of the “Backup:”

1. Really little. Fits inside the palm of your hand. Rides in your pant pocket and you won’t even notice it’s there until you reach for it. It features a 2-way pocket clip. Carry it bezel up or bezel down, take your pick.

2. 80 lumens on tactical level of light, or 5 lumens for prolonged battery duration. Although it truly is rated at 80 lumens, this small light ourperforms my Fenix P3D, which is rated at a maximum of 215 lumens. It outperforms my Blackhawk Gladius. It outperforms my Streamlight Stinger. ****UPDATE: I just purchased the Surefire 6p LED and G3 LED, both also rated at 80 lumens, as well as the E1B outshines them both, and it carries a much better “throw.” Maybe Surefire must re-classify the E1B as having much more than 80 lumens?

3. Despite being an LED light, the beam travels very far, and it gives an intense bright circle of light at the middle, with a generously wide and bright peripheral illumination area.

4. Runs on a single CR123a battery. This means you can ditch your xenon lights and save all the batteries they eat up for this little guy.

5. Wonderful reflector and super clear lens.

6. It features a lockout feature on the tactical tailcap so that you won’t accidentally drain the battery if it turns on without you noticing.

7. Excellent for self-defense (can be utilized to blind an oponent, and if things get definitely rough you possibly can use it to put some additional weight on your closed fist and hammer in a stronger punch), wonderful for undercover police officers, backup light for regular police officers, best for civilian use because of its modest size, fine for disasters, and roadside emergencies.

This is pretty much the all around flashlight. You won’t really need another flashlight once you purchase this one. I think it’s definitely worth the cost. And if you’re good at shopping for bargains, I’m sure in case you look tough sufficient you could find it for under $100 just like I did.

Now you may be wondering what the cons of this light are. What blemishes does it have? The answer is none. This light is perfect. Possibly the only bad thing is the selling price, but that’s nothing new considering it is a Surefire after all. Trust me, it is worth it!
