Waiting for the SureFire LX1...

[Patriot]

Just got off the phone with SF customer support....no release date as of yet.
He said maybe sometime early next year.

Are you trying to ruin my day? :mecry:


I take it there are no pictures available of one yet. Just a shorter LX2 in appearance?

Re: Any interest in the upcoming SureFire Lx1?

Knurling would have been so much nicer.

Anyway, I don´t believe in gnomes. I´ll have to wait for real release to think about this new light...

Surefire's cree-based lights, in the past, haven't been known for their efficiency. This has changed with the LX2, which pumps out an amazing amount of light, right up there with the Malkoff for brightness and runtime. I really hope the LX1 will compete with some of the more efficient 1x123s out there. I think 100-120 SF lumens would be possible. Any thoughts on whether they would label it as such? Having a 1x123 lumen light rated at 100-120, while having 2x123 lights rated in that neighborhood (l4, e2dl) would be a bit confusing, but such are SF's lumen ratings anyway.

It's like LX2, we can only verify the lumen specs only after some of us have it. So, any speculation at this point of time is.... :shrug:

of course, no one knows what they'll do until they know what they did. but we can still chat about what is likely. for example, what lumen value would it equate to for the LX1 if they achieved the same efficiency boost as they did with the LX2? perhaps its easier to do on the 2-cell? i don't know, so i ask. 😕

That is if there is even an LX1 and not some sort of vaporware. Until it is made official, I wouldn't even think about the LX1 less I get disappointed again. I was very disappointed when UA2 and UB2 did not show up at my doorstep.

 

[Kilovolt]

The very well known German dealer FlashlighShop.de had been saying for a while that they expected it for this week and now they put it on sale! :huh:

 

[pjandyho]

I hate to sound so pessimistic but that is what a lot of dealers said so about the UA2 and UB2. Many had placed a pre-order too and everything just vaporized. This is not the first time things like that had happened from SF. So, I am not putting all my hopes in it. But if it is true, I would want an LX1 for myself too considering that I just gotten the LX2.

 

[Kilovolt]

Usually when those people claim they have something available it is confirmed. Besides until three days ago the website said that LX1 was coming in.

 

[DimeRazorback]

I don't really believe that... Surefire hasn't even had a solid release date made yet!

Someone wanna call up surefire???
I would... but well, I'm sure you can figure it out :nana:

Edit - they also have the A2Z available :shrug:

EDIT! - Emailed flashlightstop, and got a VERY quick response stating:

"oh, this was a mistake. Unfortunately, the date of delivery is not certain
yet.

Best regards

Don't be disheartened. It might be in the pipeline soon. Just hope that Surefire would announce it anytime. Most likely SF would discontinue the L1 when the LX1 is out.

The internet is just full of slight errors and mistakes... an email always clears things up :thumbsup:

 

[DaFABRICATA]

Just called SF...

LX1 release date is November 30....we'll see.

I hope so, looks cool!

 

[Ctrain]

Hmmm... So putting aside $12 a week should til then should just about cover it... 🙂 that's my guess anyways! :rock:

Thanks for the heads up.
Looks like there'll be a Christmas this year afterall.
IF Surefire holds true to that. 😗
