While they have also reduced the price, it compromises the lights flexibilty of use. I could probably lose more than one gramme by removing the metal clip off the older model as the ZIP system on the new version will add weight. But it has to be remembered that the E+LITE is marketed as an emergency light, and I use it as such, stuffed away in either a first aid kit or an emergency kit.Marc_1970https://www.blogger.com/profile/01383487467331810797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328741976993079344.post-59703115486032172752013-10-01T02:08:23.654-07:002013-10-01T02:08:23.654-07:00I don't really see a big difference between th...I don't really see a big difference between the models. I have the original (I'd assume) without the whistle. The case is handy in some cases (eh...) but usually I leave it home as unnecessary weight. The metal clip was quite useful with cap...<br /><br />For me the main problem is that E-lite doesn't offer much for the weight. Of course it's damn light but it's not too bright (I did a 6-day late autumn backpacking trip above the Arctic Circle with the E-lite only but wouldn't do it again) and the batteries run out fast. It's nice backup for trips around the summer but not really suitable backup for deep winter stuff so mine doesn't see too much use, be it a gram lighter or heavier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
