SureFire EDCL1-T
The SureFire EDCL1-T is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 500 lumens and 12,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 37 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 3.3 oz in an aluminum body 4.1 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands among the dimmest 10 percent for output (500 lumens), in the least intense quarter for beam intensity (12,000 candela), in the lightest quarter for weight (3.3 oz), and in the most expensive quarter for price ($189). It is one of 61 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is SureFire E2T-MV Tactician, the same brand's light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class, priced at $209.
