EagleTac SX25L2 is a 2x26650 light.
Cool. That's a pack though it looks like. I wonder if we'll start seeing 2 26650 lights like there are tons of stacked 2 18650 lights.

I skipped on the 2014 model, so I am hoping for the next upgrade, which I would assume would be 1000 lumens or better since they go up over 100 each time. I assume they would need what ever is the newer LED type.
At least until more efficient drivers designs and emitters come out(they will). But, the limiting factor is going to be the single 18650 cell. Even the best of the best 18650 paired with the most efficient driver and emitter cant hold 1000+ lumens for very long. We are going to need a new battery technology as well. If you want more lumens, you are going to have to go with a light with more then one 18650 for now at least:thumbsup:
Yes,I agree with you,this is why there is no flashlight with one 18650 battery can reach 1000 lumens
Perhaps IMR cells can maintain 1000+ lumens for much longer.
Afraid not. Some of the best IMR/INR/hybrid cells may give you a slight edge...but with lower capacity, pulling multiple amps means IMR cells won't do it for long either. Lithium-ion (of any flavor) simply doesn't have a flat discharge curve. Until a new chemistry comes along, short runtime at high drive levels is just reality. Using a driver that has to boost voltage to power the LED also means it will be less efficient.
The CL25R looks really nice, I might have to have one of those, any idea on pricing yet?
Nice amount of light for a decent runtime in a small package. I dont take a lantern backpacking much due to the bulk, this looks like a great option.
Thats what I want to know, but cant find any info about CL25R.
Im still waiting, for a new fenix Ultrathrower, that has a reach of over 1000 meters.
Or a new light, with over 5000 lumens. Fenix still has nothing special to offer...no monster-ultrathrower, of 1000 meters plus throw......and no other special light.
