They have a bunch of other stuff I never heard of. A Novatac Storm and a Novatac Classic? What are those?

Dangit, that Novatac CS guy... Jesse. His email is at my work PC and I'm here at home :sigh:

I just emailed someone in NT. We'll see.

MOTENG only mentions the new models but has no info nor images either

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

This would explain many of the recent NT sales...

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

Yeah but projected release date is Jan31st. When are these dates ever hit? we could be looking at April of '09 for gods sake. Thats a life time in the flashlight world. Some of those runtimes look funky also. Something to look forward to for NEXT YEar I guess

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

hmmm, the 2AA version sounds nice, I like the idea of 2x123 also but 120lm? think were getting used to 200+ out of 2 cells now.... not so sure about that option.

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

The pricing is more Fenix than Novatac also. Offshore?

And looking at the specs I think NT is merely reinventing their present line.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Novatac. Mebbe tomorrie

Thier current lights can't handle 2x CR123 or 6 plus volts so they have at least a different driver circuit in that one. Quite exciting news on these and the prices are sounding good if they still are the concrete smashing quality of the current ones. By far the most interesting aspect though is the claim of customization available via the web site. That could mean anything from a manual with hidden modes posted on the site to code downloadable to your light via USB ? !! ? :wow: Been waiting for this second option for a long time and if that's what they mean I'll be all over it.

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

Oh sweet! New Novatac models!

Now everyone who wanted a 2AA Surefire, can get a Novatac instead.

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

I Am A Bit Skeptical. I Am Still Waiting On The Silver Edition Novatac That Was Announced Earlier This Year.

:shrug:

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

Wow, I want the Classic AA model!

I really want to know how the programming can be done through the site. All I can think of is a mini USB port.That would be sweet.

Re: novatac 120m military ops - desert tan

75mins runtime on 2x123 Primaries? These specs have to be super inaccurate pre-release filler. Hopefuly more accurate info will surface direct from NT soon.

+1
Although the 2 x AA model isn't type III HA

I'd love to see a Mossyoak camo Novatac

I am guessing that means you can configure when you order. And the modes sound like they rotate in a fenix fashion to go along with the pricing. I am guessing that there will be no more HDS style programmable lights from them. This is lookin like a huge step backwards, but that is no surprise without Henry.
