I had heard about these lights, but only recently purchased one. The price tag kept me away for a long time. Spending $9 on a mini-mag was reasonable, and I was familiar with them from my years in the military. Dropping $40 to $100 on a flashlight was a hard barrier to cross.

Once you get one of these home and get used to the brilliant light that it produces, you will never go back to a "regular" flashlight.

This flashlight is smaller and lighter than a mini-mag. The mini-mag is a great light to use in the car, around the home, or out in the field. The Surefire is in a completely different category. On a dark night, it will light up your back yard like a floodlight. It's more like a very bright camera flash that stays on until you release the button.

Get one. Get one for your spouse. It's a fantastic flashlight, and has the added benefit of being a great self defense tool.

An excellent product. The prime choice of flashlights for those of us that work at night.
The batteries are exclusive to Surefire and expensive, about $5 a pair,so a cheap flashlight is a good idea for lesser tasks.
For checking important equipment in the dark, however, this is the best.

A lot of people appear to be unaware of the aftermarket LED bulbs that are available for some Surefire flashlights. I am new to Surefire and now have a Z2, G3, G2, and a 6P. I have converted them to LED bulbs and they are now brighter than ever. The battery life is supposed to be much better also. Search the internet for surefire bulbs and do some research. I haven't had them long enough to comment on bulb and battery life, but I am sure that both will be better than with the standard bulb.

I used a Surefire for the last 5 years of my LE career and am still using it nightly 5 years after retiring... Indestructable... That is why I chose to give one as a gift... It won't soon be forgotten and it is the brightest child in the class...

I used this little flashlight on the job in some dark areas and it lit things up like a spot light. Best flashlight I've ever used!

I have several of these flashlights and there is no way to describe the light output you just have to see it. It truly is as bright as a 5 D cell light. This is a perfect light for the car bedside or purse. I wear one on my belt when I am out at night. The light is bright enough to blind anyone temporarily that might be looking to do you harm. The aluminum body could be used in self-defense if you find yourself in a bad situation. If you choke on the price you might consider the same size in the polymer body it is a bit less expensive. However, you are truly getting what you pay for. This is not a flashlight you would loan to a friend because you will truly never see it again.

Still not sure why Amazon is not carrying Surefire. I became a Surefire freak after my boss showed me his collection of lights. My wife usually didn't like me buying things especially a flashlight that is over $100. But after she saw the size of E2D and what it can do she agreed that Surefire is the only light you should own and a great gift for friends and family. Right now she is trying to take all the surefire lights I have from me.

I purchase this light from another seller over 2 years ago, I purchase it primarily as a defense light. The flashlight is very bright, if you flash some eyes with it, they won't be able to see clearly for a really good time, also Surefire offers a lifetime warranty on there products.

I contacted surefire because the light output had diminish and it wasn't as bright, surely I receive a prompt answer from C.S. to send the flashlight for repair and gave me a RMA # for it, I send the flashlight for repair, I send it without any batteries just the flashlight, they receive it on January 23, 2012 and I receive it back on February 7 2012, they replace the LED module and even send me a set off batteries with it. Unlike other companies, I didn't have to provide a purchase invoice or anything like that, this was a zero hassle service:

1. contacted them
2. receive a RMA number
3. send the flashlight
4. receive it back like brand new

What more can you ask for. Highly recommend the flashlight and there service.

My Surefire Flashlight is fantastic! I am so pleased with it. The seller is outstanding, very efficient and polite. I will buy from her again.

The original bulb did not last as long as the batteries. Replacement bulbs are ridiculously overpriced, and do not last any longer. When surefire sells you one of these, they have guaranteed themselves an income stream for life.

This a great light for showing off, but unreliable and expensive to actually use. It also eats batteries, but I knew that going in.

I have gone back to my Streamlight Stinger, as have all Surefire owners where I work. The Stinger is reliable and economical to operate. I work nights.
