SureFire EDCL1-T Dual-Output Everyday Carry Flashlight – 500 Lumens | TIR Lens | Single 123A Battery

The SureFire EDCL1-T Dual-Output Everyday Carry Flashlight builds on SureFire’s four decades of tactical lighting experience to deliver a compact, dual-output daily performer powered by a single 123A battery. Producing 500 lumens on High and a practical 5 lumens on Low through a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, with a peak beam intensity of 7,600 candela and a beam distance of up to 175 metres, the EDCL1-T bridges the gap between a tactical light and a true everyday carry flashlight — compact enough for a pocket clip, bright enough to serve as an improvised weapon light when needed.

Why the SureFire EDCL1-T is the Definitive Dual-Output EDC Flashlight

500 Lumens High / 5 Lumens Low — The Right Output for Every Situation
The SureFire EDCL1-T delivers 500 lumens on High with a 1-hour runtime for maximum brightness when it matters, and a practical 5 lumens on Low with a 45-hour runtime for extended use tasks, reading maps, navigating without destroying night vision, and any situation where full output would be excessive. The wide gap between the two outputs covers virtually every lighting scenario an everyday carry user encounters, from close-up tasks to long-distance identification at up to 175 metres.

TIR Lens — Balanced Beam with Throw and Peripheral Illumination
The EDCL1-T uses a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens that shapes the LED output into a versatile beam combining a defined hot spot for distance identification with wide peripheral illumination for situational awareness. Unlike reflector-based lights that produce a narrow spot, the TIR lens fills the surrounding area with usable light — an essential feature in an everyday carry torch where the user needs to see threats and obstacles at the edge of the beam, not just directly ahead.

Dual-Stage Tailcap Switch — Intuitive Two-Output Control
The SureFire EDCL1-T features a dual-stage tactical tailcap switch that provides instant access to both outputs without mode cycling. A full press activates High output for momentary use — the light stays on as long as the switch is depressed. A slight press activates Low output momentarily. Twisting the tailcap provides constant-on operation: a quarter-twist locks in constant Low, and almost a full twist locks in constant High. A full press of the tailcap activates momentary High from any state, including constant-on Low, ensuring maximum output is always immediately accessible in an emergency.

7,600 Candela Peak Beam Intensity — 175-Metre Beam Distance
The EDCL1-T produces a peak beam intensity of 7,600 candela with a beam distance of up to 175 metres — significantly further reaching than most single-123A EDC lights. This long-range capability makes the EDCL1-T equally effective for outdoor use, vehicle inspections, and security applications where identifying subjects or hazards at distance is required.

SureFire’s Smallest TIR Lens Light — Improvised WeaponLight Capable
The EDCL1-T is SureFire’s smallest TIR-focused light, measuring just 4.5 inches and weighing 3.3 oz with battery — compact enough for comfortable pocket carry while delivering sufficient output to serve as an improvised weapon light in a defensive situation where a dedicated weapon-mounted light is unavailable.

Aerospace Aluminium Body with Mil-Spec Hard Anodizing
The EDCL1-T body is precision-machined from high-strength aerospace aluminium, finished with Mil-Spec hard anodizing for durability and corrosion resistance. The knurled body and tailcap provide a secure grip in wet or gloved-hand conditions. The virtually indestructible LED emitter is regulated to maintain consistent output throughout the battery’s discharge.

Two-Way Pocket Clip for Bezel-Up or Bezel-Down Carry
The SureFire EDCL1-T includes a two-way pocket clip that allows bezel-up or bezel-down carry according to the user’s preference, keeping the light accessible and in a consistent draw position. A lanyard is also included. Made in the USA.
