My Surefire L1 Digital Lumamax flashlight review.

L1 LumaMax® LED Flashlight in Bright Blue, Green, Red or White from SureFire

Above is the link to the Surefire website.

I have had this light for about 5 months now, and I absolutely love it. It is only 4.52 inches long (tiny), and has 2 light levels of 10 lumens or 65 lumens.

You can just drop it in your pants pocket it's so small and light. I used to carry the following SF lights depending on the situation.

M6 in a holster (huge and bright)
E2D (wife uses it now)
G2 (daughter uses it now)
A2 Aviator (the L1 is better suited for me (smaller, brighter, longer run time), so I sold it)

I am paramedic and I work 3rd shift, so a good light is a given, as it is used on almost every run. The low light works great for most applications, but the bright is there when needed. The small size and weight make this the best light I have used to date, and I have used many. I used to me a Maglight guy till I tried SF, and i'll never go back.

The E2D is also a nice light, especially if you have to "bonk" someone with it, as it does some damage. Even though it is small, it will still break bone and skin, especially on the face/cranium area. But since my employer has changed they're weapons policy, I no longer have to use a light for self-defense.

My only problem with it was that it would go through a lot of batteries. But now my wife is using it, and she replaces the batteries every couple of months, instead of weekly for me.

My L1 gets used a lot, and I still haven't replaced the battery, as it has a ridiculousy long run time (LED).

I have their G2 and really like it, but this one looks even neater although a little too pricey for me.
