Anybody know why the white-only model has higher output than the color model (150lm vs 125lm)?

Unknown, maybe due to a slightly different board design? Anyways, there's no perceptible difference in output to the human eye, so it's a moot point, I suppose.
 
Now all we need is for Inova to ship them to Bog.
 
Question for you guys who have it, from what I understand in the manual (linked above), whenever you rotate switch to the center location it reset the level setting to max, is that right?

Yup...and that is kind of a bummer in the design.

Hi guys!

Looks like a great light... So what we know is the light uses a Cree XP-E as the main led, and Rebels as the secondary colours?

I'm curious as to what the heatsinking is like on the rebels... Looks like the pcb only...
 
Early reports say a 6v and 9v are due to be released - more efficient and lower price point. No word on any changes to the UI.

Models debuted at the SHOT show.

Perhaps the white version has the combined primary + secondary white output listed. Can they be activated both together in any of the modes?

Not really... 120-ish lumens out of the front for 1 hour on a single 1xCR123 is a pretty decent runtime. 1.5 hours on two CR123's is mediocre, not bad.
 
Don't be fooled by the accurate 125 lumen rating. It has a very potent high beam with a lot of throw! It throws better than my M60 and as good as my 3 and 4 D-cell Malkoff's w/Modamag reflectors and UCL windows.

This light really is impressive. The carbon fiber body feels less impressive than hard andoized aluminum or titanium and it don't look as nice, but the light is super light for its size.
 
6v and 9v power - since this sucker runs on cr123s (at 3v a piece), my assumption is a new 2 cell model and a 3 cell model.

I can't confirm details since the SHOT blurb didn't go into any more detail than "6v and 9v."

I don't get it... The current Inforce runs on 2 CR123's (6V).
So what's new about a 6V model?
 
I believe, don't quote me, that the new "more efficient and lower price point" version will be available in 6v and 9v.

The way I read it - a new series: kinda like the G2, G2Z and G3 are all similar but not quite to the 6P, Z2 and 9P? Not a great comparison because the electronics are all the same, but the example works.

Think of it, if I'm right, as "Inova Inforce Bravo Series" or somesuch. Essentially the same host with improved electronics and a larger body for the 9V.
