i’m ordering a second E1B Backup
This review is from:SureFire E1B Backup E1B-BK-WH LED Flashlight
At first I thought these tools were overpriced… SureFire is totally worth it. My wife likes it so much, I’m ordering one for her!

Excellent….except
I will basically agree with the other reviews here, but I feel there are two minor improvements that would needed to rate this light a 5. First, I think the low beam is a bit too bright. If you need a bright light, you have the high beam. Therefore, I believe the low output should be reduced by at least 1/2 (if not more).
Secondly, I take issue with the clip. The design is interesting in that one can carry bezel up or down (though I don’t know anyone who carries bezel up), but what bothers me is that the clip is not very tight. I am very concerned that this little guy is going to fall out of my pocket unnoticed some day and I’ll be out $110 dollars (lapolicegear.com). This to me is a somewhat major fault, and one that surely could be easily corrected. For years I have carried a Spyderco Rescue Jr. (http://spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=13) knife daily and love the clip on it, for example.
Lastly, I will say that I find the High/Low toggle to be easy to use, and also quite applicable even for tactical situations. This is primarily due to the auto reset feature. You have to push the switch again within 2 seconds of the first push (High) to get the low setting to illuminate. If you fail to do so after 2 seconds, the next time the light will come on High automatically. This way you only get low when you try, and you know you will always get high on first push.
