900 Lumen EagleTac Megalight

[Badbeams3]

PTS has it listed at 1 million USD...isn't that a little pricey even for a palm sized 900 lumen light?????? .

Wow, my flashlight hobby needs a bailout. Ahh nevermind...it`s probably just price adjusted for future inflation.

MATT at batteryjunction did the same with the surefire's, caught me off guard when i saw the price too.

I wonder why they code named it "nano"? It would be cool if they also released a 4 x 18650 model in a 2 + 2 confuguration.

 

[jzmtl]

They should remove the 450 lumen setting, wouldn't be really noticeable between 200 and 900.

 

[Strauss]

Sweet! I am also happy to see the 18650's side by side, should help make the light more pocketable.

I may hold out for this light instead of buying the Fenix when it comes out(TK40). Can't wait for more info!

Looks only crazy at this moment...

is the body really going to be made out of plastic in the final product?

I disagree with plastic

I disagree with plastic

No, that's just the prototype, the final version will have an aluminum body.

only the tailcap will be plastic in final assembly. better not drop it

No, anodized aluminium

Now, what we're looking at here is just the prototype model. EagleTac says that the entire body, the head and the tube, will be made from their mil-spec anodized aluminum. Only the tailcap and the switching ring will be made from PC reinforced coated plastic.

i wonder if its comfortable to grip ?


2009 the output wars

cree seoul v2.0

That's the form factor I've been whining about for over a year now. I have it in a 4 C dive light and it is very comfortable. This would be even better.
Next time you are at a hardware store just grab a couple one inch emt or plastic tubes to get the feel.

Quad-die P7 D-Bin LED Emitter
Beam characteristics: Flood with moderate throw

Optional 3-CREE XR-E R2 800 lumen (not shown)
Beam characteristics: Good throw with excellent spill

From EagleTac Nano MegaLight. I thought it was just the opposite.
(Note that the price for this light is a just a teeny, tiny little bit high right now.)

 

[Glenn7]

kind of reminds me of the Neofab L2

 

[Miracle]

when will this light be available?

oo:

 

[oregon]

I kind of like the polycarbonate case of the prototype. I realize that it won't be as robust as aluminum.

Looks like I'll be buying at least one EagleTac light this year!:twothumbs


Imagine if this was a Surefire, we'd be eating at least an extra $200 worth of "R & D" on top of EagleTac's MSRP of $150!

Only the tailcap and the switching ring will be made from PC reinforced coated plastic.

:toilet:

Hard rubber would be a better choice

 

[cheetokhan]

A side switch would be the best choice. Then it could tailstand.

 

[Taboot]

This light looks interesting to me. I have enough 200ish lumen lights.

I wouldn't mind a polymer version if it was made with the stuff Magpul uses in their PMAGS. That stuff is tough and has a nice texture and grip.

Amen to that! Or have it be recessed. A bright light like that would be very useful tailstanding.
