I love the ring around the tail cap. I run a length of shock cord through it and tie it in a loop and when do you want to go hands-free with the light you can simply run the shock loop across your hand, and over the opposite end.
I think the head diameter is to big. It also would be better if it would run on RCR123/16340ies. The new EDC1-DFT can run on them but the head is even bigger.
Hey man good video! Not sure if I missed the correction, but I don’t thinks that’s 1 hour and 45 minutes runtime. Believe it should be one hour in 500lm and 45 hours in 5lm. Thanks again for the video!
I have the G2X pro with 600 l . I think they have the same led. It has some tint but its almost more yellow with slight green. But on camera it looks worse than in real.
@@flashlightcrazy although, Surefire beam pattern and distance is superior to Streamlights... I have a Protac 1L-AA... Which is great at 350 lumens... But the Edcl1-t is tempting
Surefire can do better. I've owned several of their lights, and loved the KL1 back when they were groundbreaking for implementing the first generation of Luxeon LEDs into conversion units. Nowadays, they're overpriced and usurped in every way by other manufacturers... As for this EDCL1, I would rather just carry the D4V2 and save myself $100. Surefire seems to want to extend the CR123As out, and it's now pointless. And if size was an issue, you're better off buying the Imalent LD70, which utterly destroys this light in every way imaginable. Sorry for sounding like a Debbie Downer, but I've been waiting for Surefire to catch up to companies like Imalent, Fenix, Olight, Weltool and Acebeam, and they have consistently disappointed. It's like looking at a bygone era.
I wish they were as innovative as they were 10-20 years ago. I bought their 10X Dominator and M6 lights, and back then, they were the trailblazers for handheld lights. I was hoping that type of innovation would be brought to their LED lineup. But their current UDR Dominator is just outright embarrassing.... Anywho, keep the reviews coming! Love what you're posting!
I had an E2 Exec years back it was a solid bit of kit. But a D4v2? Too faffy and not the most robust. I don't think they have any drop rating. I had a D4s from Hank but sold it sharpish. But each to their own, our needs and likes are different. 🙏

Clever idea. I couldn't stand it.
I have this light, love it and its one of my favorites

I love Surefire. I have a small collection of their lights and an earlier model of the EDCL-1T you reviewed. Is the company you mentioned Australian?
Yes it is in Australia

Thanks mate. I probably stuffed that up. Sorry about that.
Lost mine. I might have to buy another... it isnt the brightest or smallest or most mode rich but that gas peddle tailcap is brilliant.
Yeah man, it is awesome. If you are in Australia I can sell you the EDCL2 I have. Just finishing the review on it so it will be going up for sale soon
@flashlightcrazy I'm in England but thank you!
@@flashlightcrazyAre you selling the edcl1t? I really live it not gonna lie❤
Waiting for another surefire review
The Intellibeam is next. Maybe a few days or a week and it will be up
I recommend taking a look at the Klarus XT1C 2018 it's a lot better
Thanks mate, I will check it out
👍🏻
Tint look greenish…issit?
Not by eye

Too ex for me here in SG man ... This same model is 600+
WOW

@flashlightcrazy and I did look at the Surefire Aviator line too but damn it's EX....

Thanks for your honesty. I like this one but I hear you.

With modlite chasing behind. Cloud seems to be making better lights
@@youthmanyt I’ve been checking out their stuff. I’ve just heard they’ve been pretty inconsistent with their LEDs.
