Waiting for the SureFire LX1...

[jumpstat]

Having owned an L1 (22 lumens), then the L1, E1B, E1L, I am pretty sure that surefire will come out with a winner. Lumen count isn't everyting and for some reason the specs does not reflect on real usage. Take for example the ori L1 which is only rayed at 22 lumens but in real usage it is bright due to the TIR lens it uses. Anyway its a light that i might purchase and personally, surefire single cells are my favourites. ......my 0.02cents

I went away from L1's for a while after owning two third generation ones and then an early L1 Cree. I like the early generation models but wanted more output and while the first L1 Cree I owned had the output it also had a moonbeam to me. Almost like one of the old River Rock Nichia Led models.

Now I own two that are both brighter than my E1B and I am amazed that I ever let myself get away from them. The UI is simply one of the best out there, no frills, just reliability.

I for one will buy an LX1 when and if they do come out but my L1's will fine for me until that happens.

Frankly, who even cares anymore. SHAME on SF.

My .02 FWIW YMMV

I was on the phone with customer service the other day and asked the question, it is being delayed or scrapped all together. He really didn't give me any info other than Surefire may have other interests right now, blah blah, blah...:thinking:

Yup, dead as a door-nail.

At least you can pick up and touch the door nail. This one is pure smoke. 😉

or a total re-design at the last moment, 3 speed, 1st is throw, 2nd is flood, 3rd is both, boy that sounds cool doesn't it?

Stop dreaming

Stop dreaming

I like dreaming, that's what keeps you going sometimes 🙄. Besides 3 speeds has been around for quite sometime. Is the Stratum the first 3 speed Surefire? :thinking:

Considering it's Surefire, I wouldn't dream too much less I should be disappointed. Anyway, if SF were to come up with something you dreamt up, we would most likely be required to max out our credit cards.

Pretty much anything you guys can dream up that's fllashlight related, SureFire has come up with a prototype of it already. But what gets released is a fraction of that. It's a business. And if a design doesn't look as though there's a big enough market for it, you can expect that prototype to just sit on PK's desk for a long time.

Are you freelancing? 😱 😉

I wish , unfortuneatly I'll have to accept whatever they build :twothumbs, I'm sure if it ever arrives I'll love it no matter what. :wave:

According to the Surefire website the L1 is being discontinued. Could this be a sign that the LX1 is on the way?

 

[Size15's]

No. The LX1 has been shelved. Damn shame of course. Wish it weren't so

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

No. The LX1 has been shelved. Damn shame of course. Wish it weren't so

+1

 

[LumensMaximus]

Well, if the LX1 has been shelved (say it aint so :shakehead) and the L1 is now discontinued, what will fill that small to medium void or has the E1B taken over that slot already...:huh:

Al when & where was this announced? Guess I slept thru it, my age is starting to show.

Could you also speculate w/ an answer re. LMs legitimate question above?

Re: Think I Missed Something

It's that unique user interface that I like. I guess I'll have to buy an L1 before they become hard to find.
