New Wolf-eyes flashlight!

[HKJ]

Not even the M1X? :thinking:

Neither the M1X nor the Legion 2. But again it was a rather long distance (My guess is a few 100 meters), at closer distance the M1X and L2 wins.
I will have to do that with a camera one day, but it will be some time before I get around to that.

Now thats a akward name for a flashlight. Why not just name it Pilot?

Guessing because they are using an animal naming scheme and they wanted nautical allusions due to their inclusions of a dive light version soon.

Does someone has a link to the pre-order?

Here's the pre-order link at PTS:

http://www.pts-flashlights.com/products/product.aspx?pid=6700&kw=pilot whale&st=4

Apparently you have to set up an acct with them to get a CPF discount...

Not sure who else will carry it or if this is for tactical or diving light...

Hopefully more info soon!

Is PTS the only store selling Wolf-Eyes in the U.S?

 

[applevision]

They had anticipated receiving them this week... any news anyone? Anybody have one of these babies yet?

I'm excited about them and can't wait to get some "notes from the field"!

Mike told me that they would be on a plane Thursday night and would have to clear customs. Which could be either Friday or Monday. I ordered one but may have to change my ship method to get before i go on vacation thurs.

Is this light a thrower, flood or combination of both?

 

[AardvarkSagus]

It's pretty well assumed to be a floody light due to the multi-die setup, but no one knows for certain until sometime next week.

Tactical Beam Flashlight in Texas carries it too http://tbflashlights.com/

 

[hivoltage]

I wonder why neither of the distributers are chiming in here with some info on the light?

 

[Croyde]

The Wolf-Eyes description of "flawless concentrate beam" woud seem to imply a reasonable throw?

 

[hivoltage]

I live in the boonies and have a big front yard and need a light to light it up, so a deep flood.

My Raptor is too concentrated beam and so is my DBS. Cant wait to hear some reports on it.

 

[applevision]

I know... not to be a pest, but is it me or have we not heard much about these lights yet?

Hmm... WOOT!

 

[hivoltage]

Well, has anybody ordered one yet?

 

[max52]

I have pre-ordered. The 3 other Wolf-eyes I have are of such quality that I feel safe that the Pilot Whale will be impressive. When I called Pts-Flashlights, the response indicated that they had received numerous calls from people that had Pre-ordered.

I don't think we will have along wait.

Here's hoping that they have cleared customs and are being delivered to Mike today...

Anyone know how the quality of the Wolf-Eyes products compares to that of Pila (who I believe used to be the same company)?

max52 I can't wait for your initial impressions! Please be sure to post! I am so close to ordering this light! I want a SUPER-HAND-CANNON like this... It will hopefully scratch the itch for the unrealized (and sadly, plagued by delay) lower cost model of the Legion II...

I'm kind of surprised that the Pilot Whale is not getting more press/action here on CPF. From what I can tell, it is the new BIG DOG on the market, bigger and more powerful than even the EagleTac M2 series (which I love, BTW)! I just don't have a good sense of how this emitter will perform... will it just be too floody for us CPFers without enough throw? (Is there such a thing as 'too floody'?!)

Maybe we should change the title of this thread to something like: 1,000+ LUMEN HAND-CANNON FROM WOLF-EYES! Hee hee...

Just heard from Mike @ PTS this morning. The lights have been selected for secondary customs. Going to be another couple days. Mike says he is planning on sending a truck on Thu to pick them up.

WE HAVE A DATE PEOPLE! 7/2/2009 (hopefully)
