New work combo !
on: August 26, 2008, 11:53:13 PM
I have started to rock a Surefire E1B and a Streamlite Microstream for work. The E1B is very pocket friendly absent the aggressive knurling and with the addition of a bezel down clip. It is quite comfortable to carry in flap pocket type work shirt. I always used to carry single cell Surefires in belt pouches due to the knurling and the crappy bezel up clips. This gives me back some belt realestate , anmakes fora more comfortable day for this middle aged tradesman. The two stage output works well for me ,can't see a need for more brightness. Build quality isvery nice , with the usual bulletproof Surefire engineering.

The microstream is a backup/penlight. I learned a long time ago to always carry more than one lite. In an atic of a crawlspace lite can equal life.

All in all , seems like a tight little package!

Beware of other makers output claims ,many inflate lumens and measure at the emitter rather than what comes out the lenses.

I really like my E1B. The TIR optic is amazing, the focus they get with it is something else. I agree that the lumen rating on this light is way low. The clip is excellent too, I just wish surefire would make this same clip design for all their two cell lights in a longer version.
