The new SureFire E2D LED Defender ULTRA flashlight has been released.  This is the new 500 lumen version of SureFire‘s popular E2D LED Defender flashlight.  Click on the video below to see this new uber-powerful flashlight in action:

Here are some quick stats on the SureFire E2D LED Defender ULTRA:

Output: 500 lumens high, 5 lumens low
Run time: 2.25 hours high, 67 hours low
Battery type: 2 CR123 lithium
Dimensions: 5.6″ long x 1.125″ head diameter
Weight: 4.2 oz with batteries
Body material: Aerospace grade aluminum

The SureFire E2D Ultra is actually a very nice upgrade over the previous model.  The TIR optics over the lens gives it a different beam profile than the SureFire Fury flashlight, which is also rated at 500 lumens.  The E2D Ultra is also a little bit slimmer and lighter than the Fury, and knurling on the body helps you get a more secure grip on the light.  Also, because the E2D has a more efficient LED than the SureFire Fury, it will run about 45 minutes longer in high.  That’s a big bonus!  Overall, I think the SureFire E2D LED Ultra flashlight is definitely worth a look.

The SureFire E2D LED Defender ULTRA flashlight is available for purchase on BrightGuy.com.  BrightGuy stocks over 500 different flashlight models and is an authorized distributor for ZebraLight, Streamlight, SureFire, Fenix, Underwater Kinetics, Princeton Tec, Petzl, LED Lenser, Pelican, and more.
