Just saw some pictures of the Noctigon Meteor M43 flashlight prototype which is scheduled to release at the end of March. Looks to be the first flashlight manufactured by Noctigon. Noctigon is well known among flashlight modders as a maker of direct copper LED stars.
No info on runtime, output UI or price yet (though I'd guess around $200, as the Noctigons and emitters alone would cost $80). The listing showing pictures of the prototype is up at International Outdoors. Richard at Mountain Electronics has also said he'll carry them when they're out.
From the pictures and descriptions, here's what is known:
* Looks similar to the Zebralight S6330 in external appearance, styling, and size (though can't tell for sure without measurements).
* Bezel and tailcap are black. Body is anodized aluminum available in white or grey.
* From the pictures, it looks shorter and stubbier than other multi-18650 lights on the market.
* runs on 4x18650
* Emitter arrangement: 12 emitters. Appears to be 4x20mm noctigon direct copper triple stars with 4x carclo triple-TIR optics.
* Emitter choices: 12x of one of the following 3 choices: CREE XPG2 S3, Nichia 219B high CRI, or dedomed XPL.
* Button appears to be translucent. My guess is the light has an electronic switch, probably with a low-voltage indicator light under the button.
