I got an email update from Allsman Enterprises the other day. It will be revealed at SHOT, and they will release it sometime in April!:party:

I'm first in line for it!!!:paypal:

Any guesses as to what it might be.

I'm going to guess 35w compact handheld.

I'm really interested to see what they bring to the table. I love their lights.
 
AE 35W compact handheld? :grin2:
Well one can hope. If so I'm going to be saving up some money this spring.
 
SHOT's less than a month away, so we're going to have to ask a CPFer attendee to look out for it! Pics too! They will be in the Law Enforcement area, booth #7711. I too, will guess a 35W+, or an even smaller version of a Xenide-style light. Either way I'm going to buy one.:devil: (If I have the money, that is:()

The email also mentioned the new TOP GUN LED tactical light (yes, the name was in all caps lol), new accessories(!), and "a sneak peek at a couple of new HID lights scheduled for release in April & May". They already have a scuba LED, so I wonder what this'll be like.

I can't wait!

I sure hope they used a 4200K lamp. Anything else will be a disappointment.

Big +1 to that.


Larry, did you see that Battery Junction is now offering the improved Costco HID with 4200k bulb. That ought to be a really nice improvement.

Besides AE, I have leeaned of several new HIDs which will be introduced at SHOT. Either the vendors aren't going into details, or they have asked me not to say any thing till SHOT

Those I spoke to said they would try to attend Sundays shoot out, or have their lights available. They all know of CPF and the prior shoot outs, and they seem curious to know just how well their lights will compare with all others

Great, I can't wait to see how things will go for the shootout. If there are a few new models hitting the market soon, I'll definitely need some help figuring out which to buy. 2 weeks and counting till SHOT.
 
Is there a shootout coming up here in SoCal or is the shootout Mr TB refers to in conjunction with SHOT?
 
The new AE Light:

What I heard:
Compact HID, 9.5" long, adjustable beam, 14 watts, 1000 lumens, bulb temp unknown. Available April/May.

So, basically a Xenide15w that's two inches shorter with adjustable head........ hmmm. That's less excitement than what I was hoping for. Are you able to disclose your source for this information?
 
I chatted with Marc @ AE Light for a bit on the new light. Great Guy!

They are still doing tests on the bulb temperature. They are really working hard to maximize lumen output, and to get a good color.
