This is the light I've been waiting for. Hope it's out by Christmas!! Being E series it'd have to come in under $100.

Looks like there may be the option to run a single 18650, kinda like the TK30 could with reduced max output and run times on the lower levels.

 

[Bwolcott]

hmmm why are they making this light? its long, with a small head not that bright, this is not what I was hoping the e50 would be

 

[sbbsga]

Yes! Neutral white!

Thank you very much!

 

[MichaelW]

How neutral will their neutrals be?

 

[flame2000]

Hopefully there's no step down in brightness after certain time for a light of this size.

Like Jash said, it could possiblely work with one battery, otherwise there won't be the ugly black ring in the middle of the body. Just wait for more info.
And I think 780lm are pretty bright in their E series.

 

[Mr Floppy]

Yes! Neutral white!

780 lumen neutral white to say the least. Must be the new XM-L2 given that the neutral XM-L only went to a T5 bin.

Can 5,000K to 6,000K be considered as neutral white?

 

[Mr Floppy]

Can 5,000K to 6,000K be considered as neutral white?

You can consider it but CREE specify that neutral white is 3700K - 5000K for the current XM-L. Even if it was a cool XM-L U2, at 2A it is only supposed to be around 750 lumens. I think it has to be XM-L2

Nice 🙂 but do hope it also comes in CW

European price (approx.) 75 EUR, I think HK/US price will be $70-75 or less

That's pretty much for a E-series light.

WOOHOO!!! That's a reasonable price for a decent XM-L light. However I'd still love a 2x18650 version of the TK41, but not like the TK35 battery configuration. More like the E50/TK30 style, but with the dual switches at the head.

 

[GunnarGG]

I dont think this is for me (2x18650) but for those worried about tint I want to say if it is anything like my LD40 it is great.
That light just looks pure white compared to neutral ligts that some think look to warm or yellow and it looks neutral compared to cool lights.
Lets call it PW - Perfect White.

Well, now we dont know if the E50 will be like my LD40 but lets hope.

 

[Ezeriel]

Seems like a decent light.. I'm not moved to buy it.....

But!


I am in love with the look and feel of it. I miss side button lights that can be used as a club. 😀

 

[Gunner12]

Looks like a nice light, and neutral white is definitely nice, but I kinda wish they came out with a 2C or 2D light.

This one kinda reminds me of a baton 😀

 

[flame2000]

I wonder whether the centre part is detachable to run on a single 18650? That would be great! 🙂

 

[Bwolcott]

There are lights on the market that get the same runtimes and output on just one 18650.

 

[Creep0815]

Either they are not regulated or the have a stepdown function after a few minutes...

Which light do you mean?
