New Wolf-Eyes on sight...The Champion.

[Jauno]

Wolf-Eyes Champion. :thumbsup:
Good things in my point of view:
-Type III finish. I have been disliking anything else than type III (and nitrolon) lately...and from now on..
-Cigar grip, although i don´t use it with a gun, it´s still nice to hold and active light with "mid-hand position".
-Clip with bezel down carrying which prefer.
-Sleek design and little more compact than Sniper and Defender.

So actually i like all "new things" this has got and very likely this is going to my shopping cart in near future

Waiting more info from Mike or Glen...

That's a really nice looking light. Looks quite pocketable as well.

Jauno will post a few pics later today, will be picking mine up from Customs today

 

[Outdoors Fanatic]

It looks like a cross between a SureFire C2 and the E series.

 

[harddrive]

That's the best looking WE light to date! The way I read it the reflector is 21mm? I wonder if D21 modules will be offered down the track when new emitters are released?

Any idea of price for these Glen?

 

[depusm12]

Very interesting looking light. Looks like it would be a great light for LEO's to carry off duty or even on duty.

 

[orcinus]

This might sound like a dumb question, but...
What's that multi-colored thingy at the far right of the top banner on the Wolf-Eyes web site?

(sorry for going slightly off topic)

 

[harddrive]

It is showing the different coloured LED tailcaps that WE makes.

 

[orcinus]

Thanks!

(i was secretly hoping i've missed a multi-color light announcement )

 

[Glen C]

Jauno, you are very observant! Here is a comparison photo with a Pila GL2, Surefire E2D, WE Champion, Surefire 6P and WE Sniper. Harddrive as you correctly surmised it is roughly E2D size and will be priced in Sniper/Defender territory. It does use a 21mm drop in which is quite long with a lot of metal in it.

I will have more information when I get a chance to look at these more thoroughly. I have some details up presently at http://wolfeyes.com.au/wolf-eyes-champion-p-119.html

Any questions just ask.

 

[harddrive]

I think it looks great :thumbsup:

The 2xCR123/ 1x18650 LED lights is a tough market with so many good things to choose from. Will be interested to see beam shots and runtime graphs.

 

[Any Cal.]

Momentary switch?(Oops, guess it is the regular WE clickie. Still good!) Is bezel up carry possible? The 17670 compatiblity is great.

 

[Sgt. LED]

Looks 100% better than the other WE lights.
I hope there will be an option to buy just the light alone to save on costs.:candle:

 

[Monocrom]

Looks good.

How is the clip attached to the light? Same as the Angel?

 

[Tekno_Cowboy]

I may have to add another light to my collection :naughty:

Can't wait to see some beamshots

 

[Glen C]

Few quick answers, the clip is removable, the clickie is the WE style but a touch firmer, the light can be bought bare (as most buyers in Aus are professional users I advertise a complete solution but will supply what the user prefers), I don't think bezel up with the clip is an option. Harddrive, we have a secret weapon to compete against the other 2 x CR123, 18650 lights in Aus - spare parts and service! :laughing:

As requested , here is a picture of the D21 drop in

 

[Monocrom]

Few quick answers, the clip is removable....

Sweet!

Thanks for the response. :thumbsup:

This one snuck in under the radar, i only checked the WE site about a week ago. I almost missed this thread too.

The boss certainly won't be happy, another WE to spend some cash on. Glenn would you say it is aimed at the market of the E series from SF? How is the beam pattern on it? Any chance of a pic of the reflector/emitter?

Taking a 168B means it isn't 18650 compatible? Means it will have to take a 17670 as already stated by anycal?

An email will be inbound to you shortly Glenn :wave:

 

[Glen C]

Hi Keeper, not 18650 compatible only 17670. I would say it is aimed at anyone who is after a sleeker high powered flashlight, would go well under a suit for a D. The throw seems a little less than Sniper and beam has a little less spill, both probably due to the 21mm diameter rather than 26mm. Just tried taking a photo of the reflector, flash is too much, will take one tomorrow with daylight. This shot I took today shows some of the reflector, it is quite deep with light OP.

 

[depusm12]

Looks like WE answer to SF's E series. I'm definately interested would make a nice EDC.
