Surefire E2LAA-A Outdoorsman – Overview

The SureFire E2LAA-A Outdoorsman is the latest version of SureFire’s only AA battery powered handheld flashlight.  Able to operate with alkaline primary, lithium primary, or NiMH rechargeable batteries, the E2LAA-A is rated at 5 lumens for 100 hours in low mode and 115 lumens for 8.5 hours in high mode.  Output is focused with a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens to provide a tight beam for additional reach while still providing adequate spill for peripheral vision.

As with other models in the Outdoorsman line of flashlights, the E2LAA-A utilizes a pushbutton tailcap which provides momentary operation with a partial press of the button or constant-on activation with a full click of the button.  Unlike tactically oriented lights, such as the E2D LED Defender, the E2LAA-A always turns on in low mode first, with high mode selected with an additional press or click of the tailcap switch.
