What production LED (not custom) lights use TIR optics or lenses rather than reflectors? I'm aware of

Inova X1, XO, XO3, T series
Streamlight Luxeon Jr.
Surefire KL1, KL3 heads
Aurora 1.5W
Vortex TC1, TC2
Longbow Micra, Mini

Nuwai ALX-2512AA
Princeton Tec Impact II
Palight
Energizer 2AA LED
Coast LED Lenser V2
Shorelight Vx series
UK 2AAA eLED

NightCutter M60L, P20 Strategist

Anything I've missed?

TIA.

The Nuwai ALX-2512AA has optics. Its works very similar to SL Lux Jr. The Tec impact uses a big lens (maybe other Tec's too?). Perhaps the PAL light?

The 4AAA, single LED Princeton Tec Impact II I bought last night on clearance for under $5 at ****'s Sporting Goods has a big lens.

SureFire's original L1 and KL1, and KL3 featured standard optics for LuxeonI LEDs (NX01 optics I believe).

SureFire developed the X200A's TIR optic, and then the current KL1/L1 optic and then the current KL3 optic.

SureFire have since developed a number of different optics - some as part of a DARPA project. None of these have been released. Things to wish for in 2006 I guess.

Not a very fine light, but it has a collimator lens: Task Force 3 Watt Luxeon 2xC cell.
And: Elektrolumens Blaster 3P & [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]FT-3C[/font]
