Tachead.
Thanks a lot.

I bought one yesterday,and I may run a simple '16650test' when I got it.

Did you ever get to run that test?

Tachead.
Thanks a lot.

No problem. If you want to see pictures of a partial disassembly, there is some earlier in the thread. Post #446.

I would like to know that too.

I would like to know that too.

See post #481.

What about Color Temperature and CRI, do you have any information?

I don't have one but, Mk2rocco estimated it is around 5500K. I would guess the CRI is about 65-70 as that is what is standard for a 5500K XM-L2.

Did you ever get a chance to test this? I'm on the fence with these.

What information are you looking for? A number of other people have been using 16650's in these and have reported results.

5500k, not bad.

How many batteries does this come with? All the pictures I have seen when this first came out showed 2 batteries with the lanyard. There were also 2 batteries in the light for a total of 4. Now I see pictures of these people are selling new in the package but only the lanyard is visible. So are these now shipping with only 2 batteries?

 

[Nimitz68]

I haven't seen a current package but I remember them coming with two installed and two spares. I wonder if that has changed.

 

[Sean]

Well, I'll find out when Surefire begins shipping them again.

I got mine today. This is amazing, because yesterday I received a letter from surefire that they are not in stock. ))))
There are only two batteries installed in the flashlight. No extra batteries!!!

So they didn't email you with a shipping notice? It just showed up?

I live two hours away from them. I will receive the parcel faster than notice. ))))))

 

[Killer Kane]

I have not received an email on any of my shipments.

In fact if you look at my account it shows that my last three orders are processing. One of which I received today. I have received two of three.

And to top it off they shorted me the batteries for the damn thing. I thought it was supposed to come with a set in it and an extra set.

Here is a size comparison pic for those who may wonder how the "back ordered" lights from Surefire stack up next to each other.
Defender Ultra, EDCL2-T, EDCL1-T, Tactician, and the one that started it all, the E2 Executive.
The EDCL2-T came in last week and the Tactician today.

Choosing a flashlights for tasks, we are looking at their technical characteristics. On surefire website for tactician are specified 1.5 h. for 800lum. and 94h. for 5lum. of runtimes, but on the packaging 1h. and 70h. ????? Also indicated is a distance of 230m. on the packaging. I'm not sure, because it's a flooder.
