900 Lumen EagleTac Megalight

It seems very similar in concept to neoseikan's mce-based LlegionII
(which is 3 18650's side by side), selector ring, 4 adjustable levels.

Legion II has 5 levels.
I think this light used the same structure as surefire U2(select ring + tail switch), so did fenix ta30.

Question: Doesn't Surefire have a patent on the tailcap switch / magnetic control ring adjustment design? This looks awfully similar to the U2 style mechanics...

Yes. They have the patent. A magnetic select ring + tailcap switch design.

This begs the question, how does EagleTac avoid patent issues with Surefire then?

neoseikan, just out of curiosity, is your selector ring also magnetic, or does it work with a different mechanism?

Em. It's magnetic too.

I think the plastic looks kinda cool and different although I realize that it probably wouldn't work for thermal reasons. I'm looking forward to the release of this light and hope that they offer it in natural NA.


Thanks for the extra pic Outdoors Fanatic. 🙂

The picture only shows the prototype that we went through before the production starts. The entire body (head+body tube) are in mil-spec anodized aluminum and are connected together. Only the tailcap at the very end and the switching ring that lays outside of the driver bay will be made in PC reinforced plastic with coating.

Thats the answer from EagleTac

Exactly guiri! I felt the levels were fairly well placed, although I would love to see a 20 lumen and .5 lumen level as well. It would be silly fun to use this for my nightly trek to the bathroom. 😀

I agree on the super low modes too. That makes them usable as emergency lights. Can you imagine a couple of lumens for thousands of hours out in the wilderness? Too cool.

..and again, the medium settings are just too damn cool. Super light output but much more runtime, great stuff. Too bad that most of these have complicated UI's

I still haven't been able to figure out a couple of my lights and I may sell them because of that. Yes, I'm a dumbass but nothing's gonna change that so I need simpler lights. Too bad 'cause I love my Jetbeam and the little Nitecore Extreme 🙁

Maybe somebody has answered this already, but does anybody know WHY they have elected to make the tailcap out of PC reinforced plastic? That seems like kind of a vulnerable area to me. :thinking:

I'm guessing they chose an electrically non conductive material for the tail assembly since they have the switch assembly and the positive end of one cell and the negative end of another cell all coming together at that point. They cant afford the risk of a short from either battery to the body.:poof:
 
I was going to pre-order one till I saw a "cpf8 discount code"?? Whats the code? cpf8? Sorry, I searched around but I didn't find anything, I just want to BUY BUY BUY! =D
 
:drool:

...must...get...this...light...

900 lumens... it's the "power of the sun in the palm of my hand!"

:naughty:

You guys, how much longer til we get 1000 lumen handhelds!? Whoooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!
 
I have a question. I have been researching this light and I can't find anything that indicates that it puts out any more actual torch lumens than any other P7 light. Why is this light called a 900 lms light? Won't the torch lumens be around 600 like all the other P7s?

I like the design and think it has a lot of promise. I am considering buying the light, but I want to make sure it offers more than the three P7s I already own. Thanks to anyone who can help.
 
All other P7s? You mean cheap DX lights? These are up to 600 emitter lumens (with a few exceptions). Nano will have D bin driven @2,8A which means 800-900 emitter lumens and at least 700-750 torch lumens. Besides EagleTac says that "lumen is measured at LED"!
