But significantly heavier and thicker. I doubt I'll be able to clip this one in my front pocket...
Awesome light though, can't wait for the reviews.

Yeah it'd be one dirty big clip like a coat hanger. Nah just put it in your pocket and be happy to see everyone.

Maybe I forgot but did we get an ETA on these? It feels like its been a while now waiting.

Yes, I love the idea of no battery carrier. I have the OSTS TN31mb and the battery carrier is kind of a pain. This looks like a nicer design and appears to help make it more compact as well.

_________^___________Really like the idea of direct loading cells in battery tube

just remember, 2 down ~ 1 up..

I have been busy with the . Have you? I am feeling like a kid at Christmas waiting for this one as I think I have only ever pre-ordered once before.

Yay! Just got my shipping notice from eagletac USA as well - and so they should because two of the reasons I bought from them was when I ordered it they were the only ones out there offering it also their website stated that they were shipping in june so i assumed they were the first (being a major eagletac dealer so having some priority) to have it - but I am very happy - and got a $16 CPF discount.

We know that this light is not vaporware with 2 confirmed shipping notices. I am green with envy! I am almost tempted to stop checking in on this thread until after mine arrives from Goinggear, whenever they receive their shipment. 2300 OTF lumens in a light less than 2" diameter and 6" length is very impressive, to be sure. I can still remember how great it was when the XR-E started showing up in lights several years ago and we were getting over 100 lumens OTF from lights like Fenix L2D-CE and such. When we got to 200 lumens OTF it was unbelievable but now look at us!

Yeah amazing what they keep coming out with - I keep seeing people posting that nothing new is coming out anymore but I say pheuy! to that.
I have been going off most off the custom lights in the last 2 years and selling them off as IMO you can now get nearly as good a quality light for 1/4 the price these days meaning you can have more of them and more variety too boot, as an example to get this size light with this much output in a custom it will set you back at least $400 and still have heat issues and your always scared to drop it as it devalues it for resale because they are not always easy to upgrade leds & drivers - the over heads of making custom lights by one person is what makes them so expensive and I believe the mainstream manufacturers have caught up (or at least listened to what the market wants) and they are using the same quality materials as the custom makers do.

 

[Mr. Tone]

Re: **NEW** Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm)

Yes, there are new lights by manufacturers that compete with some of the custom lights out there. Like you said, we fear of putting wear/tear on the custom stuff thinking about later resale value. We would not care about resale if the LED and battery technology weren't making such big strides in the last few years. I am glad they are but it is expensive replacing all my lights every year now!

They are on the up and up. Fast service, reasonable shipping charges, good communication with the owner.
Not your run-of-the-mill electronics emporium, mind you, but rather a niche specialist, good EU source for their range of Eneloops batteries and premium chargers, as well as selected higher-end torches such as EagleTac. Recommended.

Re: **NEW** Eagtac SX25L3 (3x18650, 2750lm)

I was looking for something different, but this is hard to resist. Which batteries will fit in the light, it´s tempting to get the pani 3400 ( http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...onic-ncr18650b-protected-rechargeable-3400mah ). What is included in the kit (rear add-on accessorie)? Pressure pad support perhaps ? Sooo many questions.....
