Surefire L5- up to specs?

[ArkAngel]

Hi

Does anyone know if the Surefire L5 is up to the specs advertised in the 2007 catalogue?
It advertises a new output of 120lumens with increased runtime.

Most sites in the UK state the output at 100 and some the older 65!

Is this newer model out already or in the pipline?

Any lead times to the UK would also be appreciated.

Cheers

The new L5 was put on hold indefinitely and is not available.

As an update to this i thought i would go straight to the horse so to speak and ask Surefire when this new model would be out.

I recieved the following

"The improved model of the L5 is not yet in production. Several other projects took priority over the L5. We expect to begin shipping the improved L5 within the 1st quarter of this year.

Sincerely,

If anyone is waiting for this i hope it helps
