i have a G2,P6 and E2L OUTDOORSMAN.

i really cant say enough good about the E2L.mine is an older one with only one setting of 45 lumens with a 14hr run time.

i just love it.use it constantly.its been banged around a bit and had some pretty good drops on hard surfaces with no problems.

when i get the LED conversions for the G2 and 6P maybe i will use them but until then they collect dust.i usually need between 4-5 hours of light.not the 1 hour they produce and their incandescent bulbs burn out very quickly as well and are more fragile since they contain gasses in the bulb.

if you really want the two settings than you'll need the E2L but if not the newer G2 and 6P LED versions you can get 80 lumens for 12 hours which is pretty good and cheaper than the E2L.

all surefire lights are great but i would highly recomend the LED versions because a one hour run time is a pain,the 123A batts arent cheap and you can still keep the high lumens if needed.
