Been Away - SF delivering any 09 lights yet?

Been away for a while concentrating on other purchases since the election.
Any word on When SF will release any of what they presented at the shot show?
I am specifically interested in the new E2L.
Thanks

Are you sure you don't want to edit your thread title to, 'SF delivering any 08 lights yet?'?:huh:

Which "new" E2L?

Surefire has already shipped the KX2-based E2L which uses a Cree. First generation was single stage with ridiculously long runtimes and second generation was dual-mode (like the E1B).

I am unaware of any further announced improvements to the E2L.

Of interest for 2009 are the descendants of the A2: A2L and AZ2, the new LX1 and LX2, and the LED Millenium M3LT and M3L, as well as the Titan T1A. These aren't out yet, although the T1A should be shipping soon.

Not to egg PK on Easter but...
I'm not sure what this recession might have done on surefire, maybe the magnitude of damage is more than we have predicted...in terms of raw material input?:candle:

MY Bad
You're right I was referring to the LX2 (I was gone long enough to forget the new designation). I actually own the first generation KX2.
I am also bummed because I misplaced or lost my classic (I dont think ever to be updated) L4.
Looks like there is nothing new then regarding release dates.
Thanks

I'm interested to see the Arc1 and Arc2. Not to mention the M3L :tinfoil:

I really hope they will sell the M3L head separate...I think it'll pwn on an M6 body

Ye gods yes. That's the SF product I'm most looking forward to. I'm hoping it's not vaporware - a 4-die TIR with SF beam quality is no mean feat.

M3L uses optics?
I thought it was P7 + reflector?:thinking:

Hmm, remember reading about them promising a 350 lumen 4-die LED TIR optic in the 2.5" turbohead somewhere ... let me look around ...

Edit: I thought there was the suggestion of this in the (loonngg) SHOT09 thread, can't verify though, am I wrong on this, had anybody heard of this as well????

the M3T-L uses a TIR optic I believe. and two stage. There is no mention of the TIR for the M3L in the catalog I got.

When it comes out I am looking forward to buying one.

The LX2 looks interesting. But I don't like that it lacks knurling for grip now, that's not very cool..

Don't knock it until you've tried it. Size15's says it is very nice.

The M3L is a P7 + reflector. There is a good picture of it in the Tactical Products catalog.

The M3LT uses a TIR optic. I hope they take the hex head part off of the M3LT cause it seems to be useless for anti-roll and looks silly.

There is a video on youtube from SHOT 2009 that shows both of these. I can't decide which one I would like better without seeing them compared side-by-side.

The two-stage feature is only mentioned if you buy the complete light. I don't know how that's gonna work out if these work like the L1. :thinking:

Both these heads will be available seperately and will fit on the M3/M4/M6 bodies. My guess is the upgrade heads will only be full power with no low setting. But that's just a guess.

Yes,if you count the catalog.

I have a feeling the M3L and the M3TL will have a good following. Especially with the 4-die P7 led. :twothumbs
