Whats on the horizon from Eagletac?

[Pokerstud]

Just curious if anyone has heard any rumors, seen or read anything about the next offering from Eagletac. I would really like to see them come out with a MC-E light. Taking into account the quality of their T and P series lights, I know it would be well accepted.

Fenix and Jetbeam already did, Eagletac should release their as well...

I would like to see a Multimode MC-E that takes 6x123 and/or 3x18650.

Apparently they are going to come out with a "T10C2 L" with slightly more throw (same output I guess, just a different beam pattern); it will apparently have the lens built into the head so it can be used with the bezel off. Apparently it can also use 18650s, but isn't as well regulated a the T10L. Light-reviews has it listed under "upcoming reviews," so you might want to keep an eye on that.

I would really like to see a smooth reflector for the T series designed for more throw (If you are listening Eagletac...). With the amount of lumens the T series lights put out, they could have a lot of throw with a properly designed smooth reflector.

From what I hear they've got a couple interesting things in the works. As for when I don't know. Just sit tight.

That'd be just awesome!

I'd like to see a T10C2 with a lower low mode and a different UI. A nice P7 light to mount on a rifle would be nice, too.

Awesome, could be a very interesting year.

A different UI? What is wrong with the current UI? I really prefer the head twist instead of momentary presses, because it enables momentary on. You also don't have to waste your time screwing around with the modes.

I agree 100%. A nice simple 2 mode with a head twist.:thumbsup:

+2 to their current UI. Ain't broke, please leave it alone.

They just came out with a new light...

The Darktort...

 

[Mjolnir]

By "they" do you mean Eagletac? The Darktort is not an Eagletac light. I believe it is manufactured by Nitecore.

4-Sevens is also an EagleTac authorized dealer but that light is not made by EagleTac... And I don't think they are made by Nitecore either.

From what I have seen, they are:

My thumb is already on the switch, why would I want to shift my grip and twist the head to get a different mode?

I would prefer a UI like the Lumapower IncinDio or the Deerelight CL1H V4. It has momentary on and will remember what mode you are in. Simple Low-Med-High. I have found a truly low mode to be very useful, not to mention the battery life it saves. The lack of a low mode and complicated UI is why I am staying away from the Eagle Tac.

Are you serious? Only a seriously mentally-challenged person would think this kind of dead simple UI is complicated. Even the semi-retarded son of my neighbor figured out the two-modes on my T10C2 in two seconds.

Good point. It seems to have the best UI I can think of.
