Surefire Flashlights

I Love my 12PM!

Unless someone is keen to prove me wrong, it's the brightest flashlight per unit volume, and the most powerful that doesn't take rechargeables...

I know of no-one else in England who has the 12PM, and SureFire is unknown. That's cos the DL123As are £7.25 each over here. I used Botach and recommend them.

I want an E1 and an M2 and I'm saving for their new M2000 rechargeable when it finally arives.

I tend to expect a lot from my flashlights, and my SteathLites take a pounding so I hope the M2 will be tough enough.

I want one of those wristlights from Star Trek, but apparently they're military or something.

Does anyone else have a 12PM/ZM? It's the closest I'll get to a lightsabre, and it can throw light further than you'd think possible for something so small!

Those wrist lights on Star Trek sure look like Sure Fires. And have a beam that looks like SF's.

The Star Trek wristlites were, reported to be some sort of Military item, but that's false. After lots of pauses/rewinds/etc. and a bunch of really good close ups, it looks to me like it's made from a pair of Surefire lights (possibly from a weapons system) with beamshapers attached to them.

Has anyone ever tried fixing one of the 9 Volt lamps from surefire to one of those 9V PP3 "box" batteries?
 
The E1 looks great, it just made the top of the want/need list.

looks like the e1 would be too small to take the lanyard ring for the P series lights. Wonder if it ships with one of it's own. Seems like a lanyard would be mandatory on a light that small...

How does the E1 or for that matter the 3P compare in brightness to say a UKE 2AA or even a 2AA?

I would think that the E1 is not only brighter, but "whiter" and more tightly focused.

This is what I hope for anyway!
