I just noticed this is now available. Looks good with SST-50 and neutral available. If it's anything like the PLI it'll be a winner.

I like the MG stuff the Mini II is still one of my favorite little 18650 lights and the PLI wasn't bad for the price. I'm looking forward to more info on this one. Its strange I didn't see Bryan announce this over at the Marketplace, maybe I just missed it.
Ok, this has about got the better of me. I am really interested in these lights, but i cannot find out much info on them. Like which one is brighter. I want a floody light, which one is more "wall of light'ish" I have an 18650 sitting over there just staring at me. Where can we get more details on this light? Finger is on the trigger.
Will I need something bigger than the Twofish lockblocks?
Should I pop for the Cyclo-p-blocks.
Based upon the quoted dimensions, and there is an inconsistency-14.6 cm is 5.75 in, and greater weight than my L2D & P3D, I think is the Cycloblock is required.
550+ lumens OTF of neutral-white, awesome!

I am disappointed to see that the pricing is 25% higher than the MG PLI MC-E and no longer competitive with Aurora SH-43 HA-III Luminus SST-50 5-Mode 1000-Lumen Memory LED Flashlight (1*18650) DX sku 33617, sku 33616, or even sku 33619.

I am actually happy its a little more expensive than anticipated. Would you rather they had cut corners to meet that budget and as a result had bad threading or a weak switch? I find it much more often the case that I buy a budget light that is so close to perfect except for a few little things and I just wonder why they didn't fix those things for just a few more dollars to the price.

I wonder what the run times are like with the different battery configurations. Does anyone have any rough guesstimates?

This light looks very nice, especially for the price. I am looking forward to seeing some reviews on this one. I wish they provided a little more in the way of specs, ie the reflector dimensions.
I think we know a lot about this light. The driver is the same as the one in the MC-E PLI, and is used in a bunch of custom lights, including Mac's EDC SST-50. It runs almost perfectly flat in regulation with 18650s. Output at 2.8A will be around 700-800 at the emitter, mostly flood because of the small reflector.
The big difference between this PLI and the MC-E version will be the lack of donut hole in the center of the beam. I think there will be a small brightness increase as well, from the advancement of the SST-50 bins. But it'll be a small difference.
Where else can you get a 2.8A flat regulated 1x18650 light with good build quality for under $100?
My MG L-mini II with MC-E I believe has this driver, and amazes me almost everyday.
