Lumens Factory E-series bodies

[Mark@LF]

Awesome lights, Dan.
Thank you for sharing.

I see that you are using the Defender E2D and also a defender style Z68 tailcap on the E1 body.
Is there a reason why you like the defender setup more than the normal flat or crenellated bezel and Z57 or flat Z68 tailcap?

I see a lot of guys refering them to be "pocket shredders", but I also see a lot of love for them from different users as well.
So I would like to hear more opinions on why people choose the setups they choose.


Cheers.

I can't speak for others but I prefer the Defender E2D tail. It has them big ears that can smash something as a last ditch. And very easy to attach a landyard. And of course looks way cool

I never did care for the defender lights but recently got a scout tail cap and have been happy with it.

Pentagon had a novel approach to the pocket shredder bezel.

A retractable set of blades whereby rotating the bezel a near full rotation counter-clockwise caused the blades to protrude.

Rotate the other way for pocket friendly bezel down carry.

A very special kind of a zoomie, lol.

Even had instructions.

Mark , here's the same light with the z68. I switch them around every now and then. Dan

And, here is one of your 1-cell bodies running a Malkoff E-Series Tricap since we are talking about Defender style tailcaps...

I personally like choices. Sometimes I prefer the, quick and easy, unobstructed press of a Z52 but, sometimes I like the ability to tailstand that these shrouded(in one way or another) tailcaps offer.

That is one sweet looking light

Hi Guys,

I made some prototypes of the 2 way clips in Titanium, just wondering if there would be interest if they become a reality.

What about the 1 way long and short clips?
And the M2T-MV Tactician style clips, would you guys be interested in Titanium versions for these as well?


Cheers.

Mark, are you going to offer ti hosts? Or you just see some advantage of ti clips alone?

 

[thermal guy]

TI clips? I'd grab a few.

 

[id30209]

Yes please, 2-way, 1 short, 1 long

 

[Mark@LF]

Mark, are you going to offer ti hosts? Or you just see some advantage of ti clips alone?

Just wanted to explore the possibilities and try to bring more for the E Series Fans out there.
And of course if I do make Ti host, Ti clips are a must so either way I wanted see how you guys like them.

Ti clips do have it's advantages, mainly reduced weight, rigidity and corrosion resistance.
But my main goal is to offer more options for E Series and making it more versatile and fun to lego.


Cheers.

Ti hosts would be awesome. You guys do great work and love your Dropins. Got a incandescent 90 lumens 3.7 volt on its way. What sucks is I think the host for it will be here before it comes in 😭

 

[cubebike]

Hi Mark

i am in for the ti clips. The tactician clip is good one imo. And if you gonna to make Ti host, I definitely will get some. Well done
Mark, and i am looking forward for the E series head and 3 mode E series dropin

This is becoming one of my favorites. It's a lumens factory e1 with a kx2c head and a e1b tail cap. It has pretty good runtime on a 16340.

Nice setup Rubicon.
I don't own an e1b myself, I didn't know the the tailcap would blend in that well.
Glad you liked the body.

Cheers.

Just some followup thoughts. I think eXe series are iconic lights with a number of cons, but we love them as they are, so I would leave them as they are: anodized aluminum, with dark steel clips. There are plenty of Ti lights which have better specs, are more flexible, etc. A $500 e1 is irrelevant, imho
