I agree with the technology aging as they bring these to market. I've been salivating over the TM-308XR since last August. I've sent emails to every Nuwai vendor I could see, as well as some to Nuwai themselves (which must be how they offered me the pre-order). None of the vendors seem to want to carry it, and Nuwai hasn't responded about the light itself. It's the exact same light offered by BriteStrike as the BD=RL198-MH-2C, and they're charging $200 for it and claiming ridiculous runtimes and outputs. I'd even be happy with a TM-308XR with an old luxeon, I just want the body! I might just buy an E2D LED and forget about Nuwai, but I was hoping the TM-308XR would be the poor man's E2D LED.
