Klarus E1 almost perfect EDC torch.

It's been a while since a torch review so here's one. The Klarus E1 the almost perfect EDC torch (EDC every day carry). I've spent a lot of time and money over the years looking for the perfect torch to carry everyday, this is probably about as close as I'm ever going to get. The Klarus E1 is a shade over 4 inches long (about 110mm) and about 3/4 of an inch at the widest point (around 20mm) this little torch packs a punch well above it's size and weight (about 50g). Now we get to the interesting bit it has 4 power settings, high 1000 lm (90 mins), med 400lm(220 mins), low 100lm(14 hours) and moonlight 2 lm (430 hours). Now for once the moonlight is actually useful. All too often they are .5 of a lm and useless, 2lm on the other hand is bright enough to see what your doing. The torch also has two modes, one the default is a normal torch the other is a tactical mode, in this mode the large tailcap butten is full power and the tailcap "paddle" is full power strobe. It also has an SOS mode for emergencies. The beam is a hotspot with a good spread, ideal for day to day use and a max distance of a 190mt. It's also waterproof to 2 mt and drop resistant to 1 mt.... Now I said nearly perfect and for me it is... Nearly. You see the fly in the ointment is the battery. It's an 18650, but their own brand and the torch cant use a normal 18650. This is the one thing that lets it down, if you want to carry a spare battery you have to get one from Klarus. Here it is compared to a standard 18650 battery
