Now the darker days are here I'm going over some rarely used lights that I want to use a bit more this winter.
Last weekend I dug out my SF E1e's that I bought years ago and have been looking at my incan options. I have plenty of the SF MN01's but they need the primary cell. They do give a good light though. When I used it yesterday and was walking up a dark path from the station a young woman walking just behind asked could she share my light - we walked together and she commented on the bright beam. Well its only 15 Lumens but has good throw! Kind of encouraging.
So those who use E1's - what bulb and battery do you use? Looking that the Lumens Factory ones but not sure which works best.
I use one of the E1e SureFire nylon holsters for belt carry - is that a good option or is there something that fits the E1e a little easier (the nylon pouch is tough but a bit bulky).
Lastly I'm in two minds about carrying a battery / bulb carrier. One side of me says that its unlikely that I will ever need them in the course of a day but another part of me has the 'what if' feeling. Probably better to just carry a small LED unit...
Cheers
