SureFire has released an upgraded version of the E1B Backup dubbed the EB1 Backup. The new EB1 offers a 200-lumen high output beam and a 5-lumen low. The body is constructed from lightweight Mil-Spec hard-anodized aluminum and is available in black, tan and silver. Powered by a single 123A battery, the EB1 weighs 3.3 ounces (w/battery), and is 4.4 inches long with a 1.1 inch bezel diameter.

SureFire is offering two EB1 Backup models, each with a distinct switch type:

Click-type switch with tailcap shroud – MSRP $225
