Seems like the bay is flooded with E1e's and E2e's lately. Hopefully, prices comes down soon.

That nostalgic glow! I have a hard time upgrading my Surfire E2E from that warm beam. For the meantime I keep a 16650 in it and enjoy those warm guilt free lumens.
Love the Scoutlight tailcap and 2-way clip. :thumbsup:
Running a CR123 with the singLED it puts out about 25 lumens. (Note, the primary can hold 100% or about 100 lumens briefly but it drops to about 25 lumens and stays there so I memory'd it for 25%)
Using the 4000k Tana puts out pretty close to SureFire's original tint too.
LED'S lack the throw I like with a small reflector. LEDs are too big. I used to like the old xre-r2. It had more throw with smaller die. XPL technically throw further but hotspot becomes so diffuse I can't see it.Something most of us don't consider is a filter.
Say you have a pretty acurate LED that runs at the cool end of the spectrum and you place a pretty acurate photography filter over the lens....
The result could possibly be a nice tint, good rendition and still have the efficiency of the cool ended LED, perhaps?
Tana's SingLed dropins come pretty close to replicating the MN-01's beam pattern. Nice hotspot with lots of side spill. That said, I do use my stock E1e to wander out to the privy after dark
Reserved mine for an EMP event too. :tinfoil:
