Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet. ArmyTek posted a link to their 2014 catalogue in the CPF MarketPlace Wizard headlamps thread. There aren't a lot of detailed specifications on the new lights, but here is the link...

Some interesting looking new lights. The Dragon looks like quite a beast! I am intrigued by the MT-G2 equipped Ranger, a bit similar to the EagleTac SX25L3 in stature, but with built-in charging and a tripod socket. Its fairly wide, bright beam might be useful as a very portable photography/video light source, especially if directed into a small soft-box. I love the 5000K MT-G2 LED (in my EagleTac MX25L3) for its beautiful neutral colour temperature with minimal colour separation in the beam, at least in all the lights I've seen that have used it so far. Of course, how rapidly will the built-in charger charge and will it do a proper balanced charge on 4 batteries, how slippery is that body going to be in practice when used handheld… those are questions about the new Ranger that I'll be interested in hearing answers to. Here is a screen-shot from the PDF catalog.
I just noticed that they mentioned a "special balancer" on the Dragon and it has internal charging too. However maybe it will be like the Zebralight S6330 where each LED is tied to a single circuit/battery? There is also a new Wizard headlamp coming, as opposed to the Wizard Pro. One bit of confusion is why they seem to have no mention of "wide" versions of their headlamps? Also, they have confirmed in the CPF thread that the Wide is discontinued.
I have both a regular and wide Wizard Pro and in use, I much prefer the wide one! If they made an attachable diffuser for the regular one, well that would be okay too. Anyway, back to flashlights.
Here are some more excerpts, the new Dobermann...
… and lastly, the new Prime models...
[EDIT: Really liking the specifications of that Prime A1 actually! I think that would be class-leading output from an AA or 14500, would it not? Four modes sounds about perfect too, as long as they are well spaced and there is a sub-lumen moonlight mode. Has a magnet in the tail cap, which I've always wanted in an EDC light, and it looks like the side-switch will be easy to locate by feel too. Although it's slightly larger, it might replace my SC52 as an EDC, depending on its beam and runtime and heat at 650 lumens with a 14500. I hope it has a similar interface to my Wizard Pro, which I personally consider nearly ideal for a single button light. I do prefer it slightly to the Zebralight UI.]
