Surefire EDC1-DFT 650 Lumens, 95,000 Candela vs EDC2-DFT 700 Lumens, 100,000 Candela

[@halloween_havoc352]

I have the EDC2-DFT and it is a phenomenal light. Great beam pattern and color tint is one of the best in my collection, expensive but the quality is there.

[@MrPoisony]

100% agree, same for me! My favorite light.

[@FH-bv8mn]

Cool lights! Reminds me of my Lumintop GT Micro in a quality American made light tuned down a bit. Similar performance and reflector, same emitter

[@coffeeandlifting]

I'd love to see the comparison with the Weltool LH1. If I had to bet, I'd say they share the same emitter (CSLNM1).

Might be interesting to see comparison for edc2-dft with nitecore mt2c pro just released. Lower candela but bigger hotspot, much smaller and longer battery life

[@ΕΛΛΗΝΑΣΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΟΡΑΣ]

I choose both🔦🔦

[@deving3370]

I was hoping these would be low mode first, or better yet use the gas pedal switch. Not good enough to be an upgrade to the EDCL1-T.

[@jtwig9311]

Love to see a review on the new HRT HHAWLS edc light. Has pretty good specs.

[@vartikcsaba]

How usable the low mode for general, around the house illumination?

[@exvan3571]

Still a very tight hotspot with dim spill. Similar to their old EB1 and EB2 models. The EDCL-1T and EDCL-2T lights are much floodier

[@manhhungme]

I prefer the EDC1-DFT because its size-to-performance ratio is truly excellent. If I need a 2 CR123 size, I'll consider the Cloud Defensive Duty HO-DF or HC for high candela. Honestly, I have a soft spot for the Duty HO-DF. Its steel bezel, balanced throw and flood, and ~5000K colour temperature make it hard for me to resist.

Best part you can swap the heads and get more performance from using the edc 1 head with the edc2 body.

[@exvan3571]

1:28 Surefire use conformal coating

[@utilitac]

What emitters they use? Cslnm or Culpm?

[@jonathancaldentey4615]

Given the lumens probably the nm1.

[@MichaelZuzolo]

How does a torch with only 700 lumen have 100,000 candela? What sorcery is this?

[@coffeeandlifting]

Its a really deep reflector paired with a really small emitter... Likely an Osram CSLNM1.

[@flashlightnoob]

The reason why I bought Nitecore MT1C and MT2C Pro, can't afford this beautiful Surefire haha

[@MrPoisony]

Put the EDC2 head on the EDC1 body =)
