New Maglite headlamp coming soon

I got an e-mail from Maglite stating a headlamp should be out by next year.

Take it for what it is worth since Mag is promising alot of things right now (led solitaire, rechargeable minimag,brighter minimag, etc....)

Thought I share

Wow a maglite headlamp - It will be absolutely average

MagLite headlamp = jackstrap that fits MiniMag

I'm not holding my breath.

Anybody have word on this? its supposed to be released this summer

hopefully it'll be like their flashlights... where we can take out the guts and add things that are actually awesome

Thats what I am hoping, with a decent aluminum body like the rest of their lineup

Maglite = Manufacturer of anodized aluminum flashlight tubes

well i'll be very pleasantly surprised and i'd buy a couple if they come out with a great headlamp!

It's about time they did something innovative. I can only wait and hope. I'll be very happy if they release an all aluminum headlamp with decent heatsinking and a modern emitter.

hopefully
1) the battery case is housed with the bulb module
2) uses 2AA
3) splashproof at least
4) focusable beam & at least dual output
5) all metal like all the regular Maglite :naughty:
6) affordably priced
7) able to candle mode

an all metal clad headlamp makes sense, especially heatsinking.

Watch them put out something that just blows everything else away. where they just waited over a decade to claim the title of ultimate flashlight maker. make us stop dead in our tracks and take a minute to think what just happened.

like swapping rebel 060s for 0100s?
slap a smooth reflector and a polycarb window on the bezel and mount the LED on a delrin pedestal?

I'm with Marduke on this one
