Eagletac new "P" Models? P20C2/P20A2

I stumbled across this while browsing on http://flashlightsngear.com/


230 Lumens - 3 brightness settings + Strobe Function - Runs On 2 Common AA Batteries


300 lumens - 3 brightness settings + Strobe - Uses 2 CR123 Batteries - Smooth Reflector - Tactical Tail Switch


so, a new 2xAA light, and a new 2xCR123A light. :twothumbs

The P20C2 looks very appealing. If they use a simple UI, it would be just about perfect.

I got the P100C2 too late. Now I want another 2x123 cell light!

anybody know how the ui is going to be. how do you access 4 modes with a twist head.

and a q4 neutral emitter.

dang can this be better than the quark tac lol

Looks like it uses alternating parts from P10 and P100 series. Interesting.

If the three output levels are accessed via different head stages, the strobe is tucked away, and it's around the P100C2's size, they've got me already. But I hope they didn't take Fenix's approach to a new tactical model...

I like the way they managed to get a 3rd stage without changing the simple tighten loosen UI for the T20C2. I am hoping the 4th stage is just an extension, perhaps tight-loose-tight?

I want the P20A2, but am not quite keen on the tactical tail switch.

it appears that these also have the "optional tail stand". or, are you not liking the forward clicky?

Looks like the P20C2/P20A2 will also be offered in a RGB Kit with the option to choose a tail-standing cap and orange peel reflector

5 modes: tighten for turbo. loose for general, tight-loose or loose-tight for low. double press for strobe on turbo. double press for strobe on general (sorry no low strobe)

oh yes and also if shut off and on it'll go back to reg or turbo depending on the head tightness.

so basically strobe or low is accessed when the light is on.

If it's a sloping runtime on high like the T20 I am trying to figure out the difference other than looks. And options mean nothing if they aint available.

These look nice and the addition of a low mode is very appealing. I wish my T100C2 had a low mode.

And no stupid tactical ring that's impossible to take off.

Those look nice.
I like the 2AA with this styling and that it has a FORWARD CLICKY!!...yay for the forward clicky!

Does it have a forward clicky? I realize it has the protruding "tacticool" switch...but is it a forward clicky?

Of course it's a forward clickie, it's an Eagletac.

Ugh, just when I was all set to get a Quark to replace my P10A2. Well, I'll probably still get a Quark, since some of the usefulness of a low mode is lost for me when it can't be accessed when the light is off. Still, these are tempting...very nice offerings from Eagletac.

wondering can the head fit the p100a2/p100c2??

I'm not so sure if I'm getting a P20C anymore. They messed up the UI.

Yeah since when we had to learn how to use a flashlight? I mean, these new eagletacs requires serious mind-body coordination to operate. But it is still so cool...

So bad it doesnt have flat regulation. I'd rather have 225lumens for 2.5 hours, than 300 initial lumens and dropping to 150 for 3 hours.
