Updated specs are as follows:
  • Battery: 3.6V 2900mAh Li-Ion (or 2 x 123A)
  • High: 750 lumens for 1h 45min (500 lumens for 1h 15min)
  • Medium: 150 lumens for 5h 15min (150 lumens for 4h 15min)
  • Low: 15 lumens for 37h (15 lumens for 22h)
  • Electronic head switch with memory
Stay tuned...we'll have a review up in about a week. :)

Oops, that's an important number, isn't it? :nana:

All I have right now is that MSRP is $455...of course, dealers now set the price, so it will end up being less.

Now with all the budget cuts going on everywhere, does Surefire still think that they would be able to secure more sales to the military and LE agencies at such prices?

That light looks bad ***. Nice runtimes. Can't wait for ANSI OTF readings!

I'm seeing the light is only 300 lumens everywhere.

Look at the current catalog.
Its rated at 700 lumens.

They mentioned at the Shot Show they waited to release it because of new LED tech. They wanted to have the better emmitter in it when released instead of updating it later.

It was originally 300 lumens, then upgraded to XM-L for 700 lumens, and now the production version will have 750 lumens and three modes.

SureFire doesn't use the ANSI specs, but they are OTF lumens.

Interesting, I wonder if due to the internal charging if it will use a proprietary battery or if it's smart enough to charge any 18650?

It has a proprietary battery pack with three connectors (+, -, and 3.7V). I think the third pin is for identification, as the CR123 carrier does not carry voltage on that pin.

Looks like we should be seeing these in the wild soon for around $350. I noticed one for sale in an online auction for about that price which made me think it would go for less than that once they hit all the stores.

A quick internet search turned up an online retailer with the same price and one for a little less so who knows?

Couple more bits of information...the Li-Ion is a Panasonic 2900mAh 18650, and the 123A battery carrier puts the cells in parallel, indicating that the circuitry is buck/boost. It can run off of a single LFP123A, but it's not going to give you much runtime at all. ;)
