Thanks for the great review Wattnot :)

Slightly a concern that it's not looking too water-resistant. As it said in their specs - IPX-8. Surely EagleTac will be living up to their guarantee based on their quoted specs - maybe it's a case of test and return under warranty...

Anyway, looking forward to getting a tracking order for mine (cool white) - maybe today (Friday)... Hopefully... Argh....!

Thanks, that was just what everyone needed, a great review and good beamshots. I'd always tend to go for the brightest, ie. the cooler tints, but these shots really show the colour rendition of the warmer led and are definitely swaying me in that direction.

Thanks for the review. The M2C4 really looks good at 300 ft. Would you happen to have any P7 Mags to compare at 300 ft to the M2C4?

I ordered my M2X cool last night. I have a feeling that my Deerelight DBS V3 R2 will soon be listed in the classifieds.. . . . . :twothumbs

But I will keep my Deerelight with the MC-E. . . .

thanks for the review

Seems like in those 100ft beamshots the P7 has a larger hot spot but less spill, while the 3xcree versions have a smaller hot spot but greater spill. Can you confirm whether this is the case in real life?

Hmmm... I was really looking forward to this flashlight but to be honest I'm bit concerned regarding the water resistance of the light, as well as the issue with the selector ring. Have a 'click' for each mode would be better.

Woot, i am so glad i pre-ordered the M2C4 since flood is exactly what i want. Good to know that i basically have the ability to light a nice wide 300ft path in front of me. Looks like my M25 clicky switch pack will be staying in the bag however.

Nice, I am glad I preordered the M2X warm version. The strobe is a little disappointing. I think I'll tape some marks on the bezel so I know where the turbo mode is and strobe starts.. I wish they didn't use such small screws, I am affraid they will get lost (loctite could solve this) or the threads get stripped.

Wattnot, Excellent review. I don't suppose you want to send me all those lights you have in that first photo for me to measure the total lumens of each and send them back to you???? G

send me a pm if you do.

Good review! Any idea if the head opens up easily for a future emitter swap? I really like the colour of the neutral XR-E's I've soldered into other lights I have, but at the same time the output of the P7 is very tempting. If the head opens perhaps one could switch for a neutral P7 or similar sometime in the future. :)

Thank you for the pics and review. I really appreciate the time you took for us .
How far were you able to break the light down? Is the bezel removable ? What about the reflectors?
