If they are going to stick with CR123 format, could they at least make a slimmer light?
I am in favor of a AA light, but it would have to be a lot better than the LF5XT, which although not a Novatac in all respects, has taken some of the Novatacs best features: 1) Beautiful beam with smooth hotspot/spill transition and almost no artifacts 2) Programmable settings 3) Multibattery acceptance. 3) Low battery protection (optional on LiteFlux; mandatory on Novatac)
What LitFlux improved upon is the programmability of the light levels. I find it difficult to get the exact light level I want with the Novatac and KNOW exactly which level I am at, other than the Max and Min levels. With LiteFlux, once you set the level either by log rhythmic steps or by ramping, you get get a readout of that setting as exact percentage of the total output. If for any reason, you need to do a factory reset with either light, it is much easier with NiteFlux to reset your prior levels exactly, which is not the case with Novatac where you must eyeball it since it is almost impossible to count the light steps.
Therefore, I would like to see a new Novatac with this kind of easy reproducible level setting.
It has already been mentioned that Novatac needs to use a brighter emitter, but not at the expense of the beautiful beam it has.
