[AardvarkSagus]

I'm surprised that I was the first to get this info. Has anyone here wondered what the light shown on the New EagleTac Warranty Registration Cards is? I decided to pose the question to Nicole the EagleTac Marketing director and the response I received (less than a minute ago) is as follows:

The light shown on the warranty card is an upcoming light we wish we can make a difference. It's simple to use yet powerful and features rich.

Got the same info earlier today, but was waiting on pics before posting. Ardvark beat me to it... :scowl:

Oh no, this seems like it might be a bigger success than the M2 is/was/will be. Those really are some interesting features, but I'm not really sure how they can cram them all into one light.
I would guess the colored LEDs are lower output ones (like 5mm), but knowing ealgetac they could be absolutely anything.
If the UI isn't overly complicated, this could be pretty popular. I'm sure a lot will like the very low mode.

Sounds interesting...

 

[I came to the light...]

I'd go for just the extra 5lm mode and apparently 2 beam patterns... colors aren't really of use to me. I hope they kept it short.

- Extremely low mode, activate by double twisting head

Double twisting? Loose, low, slightly tighter for general and all the way for turbo, perhaps using contact just through non anodized threads for low, just like a Fenix head, and contact with a ring for general and turbo like Eagletac? That'd be freakin' awesome!

I dont usually care too much for different colored leds in my lights, but... This might not be too bad an idea since red and blue leds are used in lights built for blood tracking deer. Alot of the tracking lights use the red and blue at the same time, Eagletac are you listening? I may have a new hunting light here.

How are the colored lights implemented? is it just a filter or actual LED's?

 

[AardvarkSagus]

I was curious about the colors as well since the initial description was a little vague so off goes another email.

User will get to use all the color. If you have no need of color, it
will not get into your way. The main selling point of this light is
maximum output and easy & quick UI with strobe and extremely low mode.

Gotta love a company that responds quickly like that!

 

[Mjolnir]

From what they said about the UI, it seems like the strobe won't get in the way like with the M2 lights (at least if they learned their lesson).
I wonder what the "turbo throw and diffuser beam" is. I would think this means they have a diffuser for it, but maybe it is somethign more innovative than that.

I can do without the other two colors,have never found a use for them ,but I use the red beam of my Tomahawk MC all the time. I am very interested in this light.

 

[StandardBattery]

Hmmm.... as a couple have mentioned the 3rd level (low) should be popular.

EagleTac appears to be on a great run.

 

[Gadgetman7]

Pictures! If this is a good as their other lights I'm definitely in for one.

 

[rkJr]

The heck with pictures. When does it start shipping!

 

[AardvarkSagus]

Added the registration card pic (as quickly filtered through my camera) to the initial post.

 

[kyhunter1]

Im anxious to see how they integrate the other colored leds into this. I couldnt really tell much from the pic.

 

[Toaster]

Can't wait for a comparison review against the Inova Inforce Color

 

[Splunk_Au]

I dont see any color leds in the front, so i assume theyre in the tail like the pila lights?

 

[StandardBattery]

never mind.
