Not really.
The lastest news, which is from several weeks ago, is that its release was pushed back toward the end of the year 2010. I read this as 'we don't know when/if it will be released'.

I'm told it's early 4Q - not an IF - definitely a WHEN.
Matt, would you happen to know if it'll still have a pocket-carry clip; or has the light gotten too big and bloated for one since it was originally announced back at the start of 2008?

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one anxiously awaiting the E2L-AA. This is the first Surefire light that actually I am interested in purchasing, depending on the CPF reviews once the light gets out to the masses. As their first ever AA powered light I'm sure that Surefire has a lot riding on the E2L-AA and that they will be watching its sales numbers closely. This positive buzz about it on CPF definitely is in its favor though.

MattK, thanks for this update.
I began eyeing that M3LT already....
Now I can sit back and drool over that M3LT and decide later, WHEN the UB3T comes out.... 400 SF Lumen :naughty: and a helluva TIR lens.

Not a clue - last time I saw/heard any details on the specs was at SHOT back in January. I'm not likely to learn more until we're just before release.
Sure thing - I always do my best to keep you guys up to date. :)

Look at it this way guys in another 6 months we will have a new INVICTUS/OPTIMUS/ U3 ABCDEFEG1234 to drool over that will not ever see the light of day again. :paypal:
My Rep. told me today, that I will be able to order the LX1's in August... so maybe we'll see them not too long after!?!?

I hope so... they'd have no reason to move it again since everything else has been released.
You're such an optimist. :lolsign:

Thanks Monocrom!
I was wondering if anyone tried to create a 3P using a LM1 and A21 plus SF tailcap? Is this a viable SF lego?

I've ordered an AZ2 which with a bit of luck will be with me shortly!
Can't wait to get my hands on it :D

Do report back and let us know what you think of it. Beamshots if possible. The last few postings wasn't showing very satisfying results from the AZ2. I would love to know if that is part of the design or was there a problem with the poster's AZ2. It just doesn't seem bright enough compared to other lights with about similar lumen ratings.

I'll try to do a full review with photos of the light and beamshots indoor and outdoor.
I've not done a review for CPF before though so it might take me a few nights to perfect the beamshot techniques.

I don't imagine the AZ2 is going to be a really bright one. Especially given the emitter in question, however I do expect it to have a nice tint and be "bright enough" for most needs.
I have some 300 lumen drop ins that are overkill for most uses. I imagine if this one is somewhere around 160-200 lumens it should be fine for most purposes.
Indoors I often find that on lights I use a higher setting to light up rooms with bounce. If the 35 lumen flood is a flood it might be all you need indoors to light up a room too...
There's no reviews I've seen already that really answer these questions for me which is part of the reason I just had to get this light. I wanted to know.
EDIT: omg it's arrived :D
One thing I wasn't expecting - In high mode the flood ring of LEDs are also operating!

Yep, that's the way the Surefire two stage pressure sensitive lights work. It's the same with my A2, and the Kroma I tested.
Is there any benefit of this? I imagine it would decrease runtime without much increase in usable brightness.
