Defender

SureFire E2D Defender

The SureFire E2D Defender is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 1,000 lumens and 10,600 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 35 yards and visual impairment out to 5 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on CR123A and is not rechargeable. It weighs 4.2 oz in an aluminum body 5.6 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands on the dimmer side for output (1,000 lumens), in the least intense quarter for beam intensity (10,600 candela), on the lighter side for weight (4.2 oz), and in the most expensive quarter for price ($249). It is one of 127 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is SureFire Fury Dual Fuel Tactical, the same brand's light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class, priced at $229.
