Hi everyone, i just got the e2d ultra, my third surefire and its a pretty awesome light. I did some catching up and read through this entire post. This light does have a greenish tint but the LED is like a 6k cool blue. The green tint was put in on purpose. I think i found a way to get rid of it. Im almost certain the green tint is only coming from the underside of the "clear" ring surrounding the TIR lens. There are distinct patterns originating from that green ring if you shine the light on low 1/4" from a white wall. If any one knows how to disassemble the head we can do a test and cover up that ring.
Answered from reading more of thread.

Thanks for responding ............ I wish that SF made lights that would fit the 18650.
In reality , I think I,ll stick to SF batts for the SF lights......... just to be safe.

Great beamshots, thank you.
Thanks. Turned out kind of horrible though. Looks better on mobile.
As other's have said the E2D Ultra's tint is an annoying green. Not a huge deal but still annoying, same as the X300U but not as green as the E2D. The Fury is more white light where as my 170 lumen X400 is pure white TIR L.E.D. light, white as the driven snow.

I just placed an order for an E2D Ultra and am excited to try out this light. I have owned my share of surefire lights with aftermarket dropins, but i have never owned a stock Surefire. I hope the tint isn't as bad as some are saying in real world use. Thanks for all the great information about this light.
I have EDCed the E2DL Ultra for slightly more than two weeks and I find the tint quite ok. Initially I wasn't happy with the tint and I almost wrote Surefire a "hate mail" for that. Truth be told, the greenish tint isn't too bad. Yes, it is the greenest tint I have ever had amongst all my lights, but there is also a tinge of warmness to it and in actual use in the outdoors the tint actually works great. Not as well as a neutral white tint, but better than some cool white tints. In general use, the tint isn't really noticeable, especially when mixed with ambient lights from artificial light sources. Overall, the more I use this light, the more I like it.
That is good to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience with your E2D Ultra.
My Surefire E2D Ultra arrived today and I am pleased to say the tint is a nice white (with only a slight hint of greenish yellow). I am looking forward to using this light outside.
A white tinted E2DLU? That's great. Mine is by far my greenest light, but it doesn't matter once I go outdoors.

Seems very acceptable to me. Hope you enjoy using it as much as myself.
Did you get SF to replace a new clip for you? They could do that if you asked. As for me, I don't really find the beam that throwy. I have had other two cell lights that throws better but they are thicker in diameter at the bezel which makes pocket carry a little more challenging. Although the E2DL Ultra doesn't throw as well, it does offer a good balance of pocketability and throw combined in one.
Yes, I completed the part replacement form on their website but the current clip is too fragile. People have commented that its designed this way but it doesn't work well for passive EDC'ing.
I swapped a C2 pocket clip over & will probably keep it this way.
I like that C2 clip on the E2D Ultra. Are all the surefire clips interchangeable? I am not a huge fan of the two way clip because I prefer something with a lower profile. I removed it, but then the slot where the clip goes is extremely sharp. I was wondering if the old style E2D clips would work as well?
