Tools and Hardware Reviews of Surefire E2D-BK Defender 60 Lumens Incandescent Flashlight Strike Bezel Black
Customer Review: Repeated tail switch problems
Summary: 1 Stars
The Surefire E2D Defender turned out to be a disappointment. I had to contact Surefire twice to replace the on-off tail switch two times but it continually breaks. I have serious concerns about the reliability of the tail switch to function properly. Due to this ongoing problem I cannot depend on this light to function when needed. SureFire did replace the tail switch both times in a timely manner and their customer service was excellent. Ultimately though the light still does not work and is sitting in a junk drawer.
When I did carry the light it was put in my left front pants pocket. The sharpened bezel tore a significant hole through my 5.11 tactical pants. My bad and I own that mistake but it should be noted that you must carry or store the light where it will not damage clothes or gear. A few times the clip got stuck on items and bent which had to be squeezed back into position with a pair of pliers to get it to a usable structural integrity.
The 60 Lumens Incandescent light is now outdated and obsolete. I would only recommend getting an LED light.
As for recommending the Surefire E2D Defender I would pass on this model. The tail switch does seem to have some functionality problems. If you need your light to work flawlessly then this is not the light for you. I suspect this would apply to the LED version as well as the only difference is the bulb. I have many other SureFire products that work as designed but the E2D Defender does not cut it for me.
Customer Review: Superb Light

Small, but exceptionally bright, this light outperforms any larger lights I've been able to match it against. Shining it on a huge eucalyptus tree outside our house, I'm able to see details at the top, something that no other light has allowed me to do.Customer Review: Surefire E2D Executive Defender
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding product, one of the most innovative self defense products put on on the market recently. I highly recommend this, I carry it with me wherever I go do to my line of work. It does everything they say it can. Ridiculous brightness up close even during the daytime. You can beat this thing up, douse it in water etc. and it will keep on going day after day. I recommend buying a couple sets of extra batteries because once it runs out it just shuts right off, it doesn't get dim or weak or anything like that first to warn you. Thats due to the power the high intensity light consumes when it shines. Don't use the weaponized tips unless you have to, those are pretty dangerous meant only for self defense purposes. On the other hand feel free to get a good laugh surprising and temporarily blinding your buddies in the office, etc. with the high intensity beam from time to time! In all seriousness though, fantastic product completely worth the little extra money it costs.Customer Review: The best flashlight int he world

I finally see Surefire light in Amazon.com. Still not sure why Amazon is not carrying it. 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.

Customer Review: Useful flashlight

I walk my dog in the early hours and feel a bit more safe with the E2D in my possession. I know that the bezel both front and back will allow me to defend myself. It has a solid grip perfectly fit for my hand so the likelyhood of dropping it is lessened. The bright LED is a good first step towards warding off trouble. I am truly happy with my E2D.
