How do you like the Klarus E1, I have been looking at the E1 and E2.
I’ve chosen not to buy an E2 — its “moonlight” mode is 8 lumens, which is higher than I like in a moonlight mode.
Pros:
- One-touch access to moonlight mode
- Instant access to last mode used, which I like to keep on Turbo
- Good runtime and output performance
- Good beam profile
- The cell is USB-rechargeable
- I’m very fond of the Klarus button+paddle interface
- Incredibly small form factor for its performance
Cons:
- The cell is not a standard 18650 — it’s the same size but proprietary to Klarus, real 18650s won’t work in this light, and the proprietary cell won’t work in anything but a Klarus E-series light
- A bit more prone to pocket activation than I would expect
- Lousy holster/pouch options
I carry it, on average, more than any other fliashlight in my collection.
