Surefire E1E Executive Elite Flashlight

The SureFire E1E Executive Flashlight is a high powered flashlight that fits easily in the palm of your hand. I love this little thing. It provides 15 lumens for 1.5 hours according to the specs but our testing has proven to exceed that runtime. The rugged Mil-Spec Type III hard anodized aluminum body has survived everything we’ve thrown at it. The glass at the business end is Tempered Pyrex, which is some tough stuff as well.

The tailcap switch is much more convenient than your typical MagLite. Push for momentary on, or press further to click it to constant-on. This could be very handy for signaling because short bursts on the tailcap switch makes morse easy.

I especially like how this little guy can fit in the palm. If you every had to knock some guy out it would be a lot easier with this thing in your hand (its a lot like punching someone with a roll of quarters in your fist). Theclip on the side makes it easy to attach to a hat brim or belt. I wear mine everyday and forget I even have it on. Its also easily un-noticed so you don’t look like a freak carrying around a flashlight all day (you can also easily just slip it into a pocket or purse.)

This thing is bright, I don’t know how else to say it. I made the mistake of looking into the beam ONCE, it won’t happen again. These things are bright enough to be used in a tactical situation to temporarily confuse and blind someone. This light gets 5 stars for being tough, compact, reliable, bright and olive drab

Price: Retail (I bought mine at the local Bass Pro Shops on sale)
