aluminum titan

[rooster.5]

Anyone know when the aluminum version of the surefire titan is going to be available? I'm going to the gun and knife show tomorrow in Charlotte and thought I might get lucky!!! When they do become available, does anyone have a ballpark figure on the price? Thanks.

Some dealers are guesstimating end of this year...maybe even 2009. No idea on pricing yet.

There's not even a picture of it, the ones on the SF 2008 catalog are of the current version. It is likely we are not going to see it this year... :shakehead

at least we have another multi-level twist light to look forward to: the Ra Twist

Why so long:shakehead. The design is already there.........

I too would like a Titan in aluminium........

I hope it's cheaper than the titanium titan.

The concept is here - proof of concept is here too as SureFire released 1000 Titanium versions of the concept.
Production has been quite problematic as evidenced by threads here on CPF. SureFire are still refining how to mass-produce the Titan.
I suspect that this is taking longer then they planned for.

TITAN® T1A
An aluminum version of last year's limited-edition
Titan. Nearly identical to the Titan in that it delivers
over 1,000 seamless output levels between zero and
70 lumens, but it's powered by a single SureFire
123A lithium battery, and it's more affordable than​

the original all-titanium Titan.



This is the description on SF 2008 catalog. And 'more affordable' means......:devil:

somewhat less than the current market price of the Titan.

I may have to get one, just on the switch alone. Goona be an expensive year, so maybe not having it this year will be easier on my wallet considering the UA2 and UB2 coming....

Will they put a more powerfull LED in ?
70 lumens seems a little weak :candle:

have you noticed how much heat these LEDs put out? High-current+small light=shorter LED life.

let's be honest, most of us will run the lights in the highest mode at least part of the time, whether we "need" it or not.

Then again 70 lumens here is more like 120 inflated lumens that are common on CPF.
