The purpose of the E12 is to have a light that I can carry conveniently on a daily basis without taking up a lot of space. It's small enough to carry and powerful enough to adequately meet my needs if I have to stay late or go in early. it's my light for when I don't really think I'll need a flashlight light and it's perfect for that use.
That said it I know I'm going to be out after dark or I know I'm going to be working a night shift this

Is the light I carry (except mine's black).
It runs off of rechargeable AAs it's certainly bright enough and because I work in a Propane storage facility it's nice to know it's safe to use around combustible gasses.
the only draw back to this light is the size which is irrelevant at work because it's going to hang off my duty belt anyway
