Sapphire 1Watt ?

[Robocop]

Has anyone seen or handled one of the new Sapphire one watt lights from AdvancedMart?I was looking around at some of our dealers and noticed that it appeared to be a new item on their site.It says it runs off of a 3 AAA setup and I have read here that this is not the most popular power source for luxeons.I figured at just over 18 dollars it may not be such a bad light for tinkering with.

I was just reading about it on their site and noticed it says "new sapphire technology" and also mentions it to be "non-luxeon".Never heard of these terms but it looks like a pretty simple light with some form of optic.
