Notice how they have bent the clip away from the tailcap on the A2L

I like the looks of the combat light!

I keep going back and forth on the A2L. The 120L high for 2 hours sounds attractive, especially after using my A2 heavily lately and running through so many batteries. On the other hand, I like the knurling and the incandescent main beam of my regular A2. I guess there's only one way to find out if it's good enough...

I've read on another forum that the A2L has been released. Gotta confirm this info.

The A2L ain't out yet. There might be a few x##### floating around, but I have only seen the protos.

Personally, I think the LX2 and E2DL have stolen a lot of the A2L's thunder. I just did a backyard beam comparo and found the LX2 has about 10% more throw than the E2DL with a beam that's maybe 5% wider.

I used to hate the tight TIR beamshape, but it's grown on me. I'm interested to see what the reflectored beam looks like.

Having receiced my first A2 just yesterday, I can say that I will definitely be getting the A2L!

I love the A2, and I will just have to get its LED brother!

Battery Junction has the A2L on there sight. I know thats not that interesting, but they list the ship dates for each color as well:naughty: The white has a date of 8/7/09. I'm still waiting to get my LX2(coming in this week) and now I am trying to justify not buying this light as well.:devil:

The A2L is just showing on the SF website:twothumbs

I hope the 120 lumens output for the A2L is conservative. I really do find the high output of the LX2 and the 4Sevens Quarks to be useful at times. Looks like the A2L show prototype has a SSC emitter like on the U2A. I love my U2's but the LX2 blows them out of the water when trying to spot wildlife in the woods behind the house. Still, the U2's have a beautiful beam and a great friendly user interface.

I've got a Kroma Mil-Spec but don't take it flying since the 50 lumens on white is a little anemic for preflighting a large aircraft. Also, the replacement cost is a little high, I do lose stuff as I travel sometimes.

I should let the smoke clear, read the reviews of the A2L and patiently wait until the price drops on eBay before getting one. That's what I should do.

Rather than have concurrent threads on the A2L, and merging two threads like there is bound to cause confusion, I figure we'll close this one and continue ahead with The SureFire A2L thread.
