SureFire E1L Outdoorsman Review

The E1L by SureFire, although a little outdated, is still a nifty little light using only 1 CR123A battery. If you’re into that form factor, the E1L is still one worth considering. Settings giving out 3 and 45 lumens, weighing only 2.8 ounces and measuring 1×4 inches, the E1L offers a lot for an everyday carry. It has a regulated output, and can last 8 hours 30 minutes at 48 lumens, and 8 1/2 hours at 45 lumens.

If you are into the whole “Made in U.S.A. mentality, then this little SureFire is the way to go. Made exclusively at Fountain Valley, California, the E1L is tough, made only of top-notch aluminum. These days, $139.00 retail for a 48-lumen flashlight is probably not the way to go if brightness is your primary consideration, but for durability and dependability, you can’t go wrong with the E1L.

It comes in black and olive drab, with the latter becoming a more popular “rarer” choice. It comes with a pen-style clip, and a crowned head usually called “skull crushers” for their tactical possibility.

By the way, being as this is part of SureFires E-series, you can switch the head and body of the E1L from other E-series lights.
