I'd also like to see a beam profile / overall output comparison with the WE Storm. The Storm is a useful light but doesn't throw quite enough for my liking.

Hi Guys,
My first impression was wow, it's built like a whale, ah... tank and the output was impressive but I only got to play with one for a few minutes.
All the orders have been shipped and 9 of them were CPF'ers so we'll see some first impressions early next week.
TGIF!!!
By the way, I'm taking a Pilot-whale when I go watch fireworks. 😀 :nana:
Happy 4th of July!

Ugh!
The wait is killing me!
I really want one... might just have to pull trigger CPF-sight-unseen. Hee hee!
I'd also love for MrGman to pop this puppy into the old integrating sphere to get us some real-world numbers...
Mike--can you tell us *anything* else about it?:candle:

This is surely the most secretive light to come around in a while

The price of this wolf eyes is ridiculous. It price is post $278 at PTS
I think dealers are just greedy by raising the price. There are other lights that have same performance at reasonable cost.
Where does the line of LED price is drawn ?

Compared to ???
Don't forget the CPF discount.
Wolf eyes' larger, more special products tend to run a bit more expensive. However Wolf Eyes is often one of the first companies to bring new emitters in flashlights to the market with reasonably decent quality.

how much is discount as CPF ? 5% ? that is nothing

Gosh, I feel like 5% of $278 is something: it is $14 which is at least shipping (not sure if they do free shipping, in which case it's certainly something!). My guess is that the markup on these lights isn't too high (maybe 20%?)...
But at any rate, if the EagleTac M2 series is $152 and is a P7 or triple Cree, and this is a bigger light with a newer, multi-die emitter, that is also water proof, and from what I hear, really amazing build quality... one hundred dollars more does not seem outrageous, right? :shrug:
I don't know. Especially when customs easily break the $400 mark... Still, it's not cheap by any means, and that is why I am waiting for some feedback here first... 😗
But I wanted to ask: what are the comparable lights to this one? I feel like this is an exciting light if the emitter really does hit ~1000 lumens, it will be the next step up from the EagleTac M2 series/M1/Solarforce/Legion II... or what am I missing?
For my next light, I'd really like a 3 (or even 4?!) 18650 light, that is a true hand-cannon. I lusted for the Legion II until it seemed to get bogged down in some production hell... but I still am watching it from afar. I love the EagleTac M2 series, but I am a lumenophile/luxwhore and already craving the next big thing!

It's a bit more than that, why not go find out instead of complaining.
So then, what do you think is an appropriate price Picard? If you've shop around other dealers you'd see they're all relatively close in price. Remember also that dealers still have to buy the lights from the manufacturers and make a bit of profit to make the business worthwhile.
Back more toward topic, I can't wait to see some beamshots. :devil:

Has anybody got one yet?
Hope this does not turn out like the SuperStorm. Looked forward to those reviews and never heard a thing! This light looks promising.:thumbsup:
