Looks like Brinkmann meets SureFire ex-patriots near The Great Wall! I'll wait for an A2, also...though I cancelled my KL1 due to budget reasons and the fact that I've bought 41 lights this year.

I always try to keep my light purchases down to 40-50 per year also.
It looks cool but I want digital regulation!
I wonder how long until the A2 LOLA comes out? A month, a year?

hey if you guys check the sellers other auctions he has alot of really neat looking flashlights though, another duo flashlight with 3 leds instead and i like the single led one with a pull out lens to make it into a mini lantern. now thats pretty cool.

2.5 hrs burn time on 2X123. Looks like a LOLA is in it.

I wouldn't really call this a copycat since it is actually available, unlike the A2. It's not like this is the first LED/incandescent hybrid to be made.
It looks like a pretty cool light. A faceted reflector and a fairly attractive body. It's good to see some interesting and innovative designs actually available for purchase.

These look like they're from the same mfg. who supplies Life Styles many of their lights. Certainly some inovative design work here. I suspect that there may also be some patent infringement with some of these lights. Time will tell. With all the diversity shown in these lights, one would think that there must be sizeable market somewhere to justify the tooling and production. Selling them one at a time on E-Bay can't be too large of a revenue stream? I wonder where the real consumption for these lights is? Pacific Rim? Europe?.........interesting.

r2,
Looking at his other auctions, it appears to switch modes by pressing the button3 timesto cycle through 3led, 6 led and Xenon. I might buy this just out of curiosity and then sell it or donate it for review.

Interesting that you can use either 6 or 3 LEDs with a coresponding change in runtime. Also, considering the switch location, the all metal body, and the lack of adequate heat protection for your hand (compare with Legend LX) I wouldn't be surprised if this light would get almost too hot to hold (ever try holding the LX without insulation for a couple of minutes?)

I didn't see any indication how you switch between different modes. Did anyone else figure that out? The switch looks like a simple pushbutton; perhaps there is more to it? Does it have a digital controller for the switch?
I'd love to see something like this with a 5W LS in the middle

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I doubt they're the same Korean manufacturer who supply Life Styles. It looks to me that this might be the same Hong Kong company who make clipmate/clipper 3. Many of its aluminium light except the 5 LED (not using nichia) looks likes prototype or pilot run products. No way to be sure though.
