Wow man, the sun drop is sweet, really like the "playing god" comment, good stuff man.

E1B is a high of 80 lum, with a low of 5 right?

Sweet little lights man.

[abarraga86]

Thank you sir, that is correct the first time you activate the backup, it projects 80 lumens and then 5 lumens. This lumens surefire announces are relatively on the conservative side and are very usefull thanks to its TIR optics. I really de recommend that tool!

Is the Sundrop just a bare LED with no reflector?

[abarraga86]

Yes, that is correct, it does not have a reflector so that it has the smoothest pattern possible (to avoid having a hotspot).

Oh btw, what music was playing in the background at the end? It was quite catchy.

[abarraga86]

Thanks for the comments, the music is Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life, I know, they are expensive but once you save some money and buy them, you can truly appreciate the gold that it pours on your nearby objects!

I'm dying to see the diffuser that surefire makes compared to the floody sundrop.

[supersneeze15]

im kindof a flishlight noob but how does the sundrop compare to the mule since they both dont have reflectors

[thebrim]

Thanks man... this was a very informative video and a very nice comparison. I had a ton of questions concerning the McClickie paks, and the Sundrop. So McClickie paks don't have heads is that correct. I already own a E1 Backup

SunDrop is Far superior... SunDrop has 3 Levels, Higher Max Output with (IMHO) a better flood beam... And of course the High CRI led...

If you can spare the dosh get a sundrop if you happen not to like it, you can always post if on Candlepower Forums Marketplace and you'll get most of your money back =D
