Yeah, I am surprised their is not 50 pages about this light already. The TM26 is all the rage , but I cannot figure out why since it is a $300+ light. The SRT series looks to be the biggest breakthrough light of the decade IMO.

I'm glad to hear that your initial impression is positive. I am looking forward to your comprehensive evaluation of this light.
I hope that it gets deeply discounted in the near future like the TM26 did.
The decision now is; black or gray?
I'll have a review video up within 24 hours.
I haven't found any negative issues with it yet. The selector ring is very precise with positive click stops. The variably level, travel gap is really smooth and linear.
Stand by mode is tail switch depressed and selector ring set between the start of the low variable and red led detents. The small LED on the head blinks every two seconds at that setting. Tail switch has a great feel with no sponginess.
This light rocks in the throw department. It's a bit better than the EA4, mostly due to the XM-L2.
The reflector seems to be flawless.
I'll be out making some video tonight and dropping it in the swimming pool for a while!:huh:

The SRT7 looks great!
I am eager to see the review video of it. Among all other things i am interested in how much the light will stepdown in effect when it drops from turbo to high mode.

the colored LEDs seem to be extremely weak, too weak to be useful...
you're probably better off getting a G25C2 w/ the swing-away diffuser/color filter attachment
but this one seems to be the perfect mall-ninja flashlight

No, they are made in China. It's just these products were first shown at a trade fair in Germany so the first videos showing these lights happened to be in German.

For up-close work they will be fine
what kind of close-up work would require a very weak RGB? sorry but i'm trying to rationalize this new model...
perhaps a green laser and some UV leds would be more useful. perhaps in the future nitecore SAK line

It might not look very bright, but we've got around 10k lumens lighting up to room for the video. (we're using a 20" light bar).
That's making the color LEDs look dimmer than usual.
when used in the dark it's much more useful. We'll have to work on a nighttime video sometime.

Sorry, but who the heck is going to carry a bunch of diffusers with their flashlight. Just more landfill items that sound cool to have but are impractical in the real world.

A nice light which I'll probably get. Does its overall concept make sense though? For most people the colored LED's are going to be useless, especially the flashing police mode. If that's actually intended for police, then I'm not sure they would choose this type of control ring light anyway. The problem is once turned on, it becomes 'fragile' in that you now have to worry about accidentally turning the ring. It needs to be recessed to help prevent this, rather than protruding as it does. Turning a recessed ring with your fingers will be about as easy as a protruding one. Anyway none of this is very well thought out IMO. But I've yet to see a flashlight user interface and ergonomics that is. Instead of useless flashing and strobing and christmas tree modes that are always instantly accessible, how about designing actual useful and intelligent features and UI?
