New Surefire LED lights at SHOT

Just grabbed a SF tactical catalogue:

-aluminum CR123 "T1A Titan"

-seems like the Optimus is dead, no mention in the catalogue

-there's a P7 light that has the L6 body, a reflector head and a 2-stage tailcap called the M3L, loks like the L6 successor (350 lumens)

-M3TL has a TIR(!) turbo head (350)

-A2L and A2Z Aviator models with SSC P4 and extra leds for flood (120/10 and 120/25)

-V2L Vampire LED with two stage white or IR light (70/10 and 75mW/10mW)

-LX1 and LX2 to replace L1 and L2 (80/10 and 120/15)

No new models or protos were on display yet since they were just putting their booth together. Maybe I find time to stop by tomorrow and see what's actually in existence as prototypes.

A2L, V2L, LX1, T1A, M3L all look pretty interesting. Wonder how they will be! Course we won't see these things til SHOT show 2011.. :nana:

When's the 2009 catalog going to be available for d/l on the Surefire site?

About time they upgrade the Aviator. The previous model only had a max output of 60 torch lumens and was in no way close to having the ability to properly light up the tail on a large aircraft.

These new models sound exciting, hopefully they'll be released in 2009 :shakehead

I feel like this is the perfect place to insert a quote from Spaceballs ("they've gone plaid!"). They've gone LED!

Wow.

The A2 - formerly a gorgeous combo of LED and incan - has gone totally LED. It actually sounds a lot like Don's LunaSol 27 now...

Even the M3 has a TIR head, which I assume means that the M3 is now an LED.

Surefire really looks like believes the incan's dead. Are the M4 and M6 still around?

Don't forget about the UB3 INVICTUS 3 batteries max output 350 lumens.

They haven't even released the UB2 with the 400 lumen max output, now there planning a UB3 with 350 lumen max output?

The UB2 is not in my catalog. Only the UB3.

Looks like a 2-die-led to me in the picture.

@cree-buyer: I'd like to respect SFs copyright on their catalogue. Also, as far as I know you're not allowed to take pics at the show with an exhibitor badge, you need a press badge.
