Typical Surefire High Quality. Great EDC Light!!

Very small, very tough light. I'm pretty sure this one is smaller than the original E1B Back Up. The body is knurled though, the original E1B was smooth. This one feels more grippy for sure. I love the beam on this. Lots of bright spill, very different from the tight white throwy spot most surefire lights have. If you don't like spill, don't get this light. For my purposes, it has plenty of useful throw as well. The low setting is pretty low, great for close up work or preserving night vision as much as possible, but very, very little throw on the low setting.I don't love the tail cap switch and the light is head/bezel heavy, kinda out of balance feeling. I think the tail switch is a bit too easy to engage. It has a very soft feel. I carry this in my front right jeans pocket and I twist it a quarter turn so it won't push on in my pocket and drain the battery. I do not like that the switch engages so easily, but it isn't a deal breaker. The pocket clip is the same as on the other Back Up models. I don't love it, feels a bit thin and flimsy, but it does the job. I would never trust a $199 light clipped to my pocket with it though.This light will last forever and is tough as nails. Typical Surefire rugged quality. I would buy another and recommend this one. You can trust it's toughness, durability, and reliability and that's what you need in a flashlight, especially if you are only carrying the one. The small size makes it very easy to EDC in a jeans or jacket pocket unless you wear very tight pants.I've heard people say, "Buy once, cry once." This light is very pricey, but it'll be the last one you ever buy or need and you'll likely pass it down to your kids as well. It's going to last.

Great Premium EDC Light

Obviously this light is at a premium price point for most as an EDC light. Though, I really do believe it’s a good value for what you’re getting. Super nice quality, very bright, and of course the surefire signature great beam pattern (good blend of throw and spread).For myself, this is a great size for EDC. It’s a perfect size to hold in a pole like grasp without protruding through the end of my hand that much. I will say it was a bit thicker than other lights, though that makes it feel better in the hand. It works good in a Jean pocket, and can work with slacks as well (although a slimmer light may work better for lightweight dressy fabrics).The finish on the light feels good in quality - feels durable like a lot of premium military gear/guns finish. I my prediction has come through that the finish wears nicely.For someone that has experienced plenty of EDC lights (all of which were less expensive) and that really didn’t understand the surefire appeal, I must say I totally get it now. There’s no issues with the light, inspires confidence with its quality and durability, and performs great.

Surefire Quality.

Have owning several Surefire flashlights this one fills a hole in my collection. I purchased this for EDC usage & have been carrying for around a month now in my left front jeans pocket ( right pocket dedicated to Benchmade knife). The quality is as expected need I say more. This is the first Surefire Maxvision I have ever owned so I was very excited to test it out. Results: I’m really impressed how smooth the food beam spills out, the color is white & the 400 lumens could fill a room, light up my front yard or surly blind someone if needed. As expected the throw is not going to be that of other models. If I need throw I’ll break out my Fury DFT Intellibeam.Update: the rechargeable batteries only last 20 minutes. Barely gets me through a dog walk. The throw away batteries last a little longer but definitely not a fuel efficient system with the rechargeable batteries. Take it for what it’s worth. Come on Surefire, please don’t let China pass you by. (Former Navy weapons specialist)

Surefire

An excellent EDC light, plus it’s a Surefire, so quality is on point. It’s compact and extremely bright for its size. If you’re looking for an EDC light that will fit in your pocket, get it, you’ll never have to replace it.

Great flashlight, Dead Battery

The flashlight is great. I gave it 4 stars because the included battery was dead.

Great everyday flashlight.

This is my first Surefire light. I took a chance on this light as it was an open box deal. Glad I did because it was in excellent condition and works as you would expect a Surefire light to. Flawless operation with equally good throw and flood. It's no wonder they call the beam pattern MaxVision. I also really like the two output levels. I use the low level most of the time for menial tasks. The high level is ready on the first click for serious use. I had good operation with the supplied Surefire primary CR-123 cell and Titanium Innovations primary CR-123 cell. I have not tried rechargeable batteries since they have greatly reduced capacity. I'm super happy with this purchase.

Worth it.

The E1B-MV arrived today in the original packaging. I've been planning on buying this little light for a long time. It has the exact features I want: Super bright when needed, but a dim light feature that saves battery life and doesn't blind one when using it to read or other similar activities. Also nice and small (WAY smaller than my Surefire Defender 6P), Surefire lights are crazy expensive compared to the similar ones you can buy at the counter at your local auto parts store - but the Surefires continue working LONG past when the $9.95 ones die. My 6P is now at least 12 years old and works like new.Update a few years later: Still works perfectly. My colleagues in the ICU are always having to shake and bang around on their flashlights to get them to work. When you need a bright flashlight to care for a critically ill patient (for instance trying to see where a bleed is coming from - pharynx or nose???) that is not the time to be going cheap in my opinion.
