For me, this is one of the most exciting lights coming out in the next few months, has there been any more info on when it will be available?

EDIT: Also, I can't seem to find anywhere what kind of reflector this light will have, any info on that?

OP reflector - weird I can't believe that the CPFMP post is 13 pages long and no one has asked what kind of reflector it has until now!

Sorry! Couldn't help myself, and that is weird that in 13 pages no one asked about the reflector and yet at least 6 people asked about trit slots. Thats cpf for ya. Oh yeah, and nice choice on going for the op reflector.

Now the cats out of the bag I guess, I still hope I get one!

I would have asked, but, in the last time, nearly each light comes with an Op if it isn't meant to be a dedicated thrower. I wouldn't see an AAA to be a dedicated thrower, so, I assumed it would have an OP.

The choice of an OP is nowadays the best choice, as Crees all have some rings and the overall output is high enough to invest a few Lumen to get rid of those dark rings in teh beam. With weaker emitters, I understood that the manufacturer wanted to concentrate the available light in the hotspot, but, especially with an XPG an SMO would be a deal breaker for me.

I read the sales-thread about the Titanium Jetbeam Raptor, that light IS a dedicated thrower (same as RRT-2 technically). Well, due to customers wishes, they changed the SMo for an OP! I bet people didn't want to invest nearly 300$ to get a light with a ringy beam...

:twothumbs OP rules!!! :twothumbs

Ordered one.

Now that protected 10440:s has arrived to DX, i was wondering will they fit in IlluminaTI?

Will it go poof, if 10440 is used? It has been mentioned, that 10440 Li-Ion are not recommended, but will it handle the current?
