Fresh Light
Enlightened
Well it's just like the title says. I guess we'll start to hear more about this soon, hopefully. Something like 1011 ANSI Lumens and 46.8k lux from what i've read. Anyone else know more?

This is my first hearing of this, and I'm pretty close to buying an M3C4, but might go for the Fenix TK35 instead. What would you recommend that puts out as much light as your single XML M3C4 in the same price range?Bugger. Like a few of you guys here, I already have the single XM-L version as well. If I knew one of these bad boys were coming out (it wasn't mentioned in their roadmap), then I would have preferred to buy the tri-XM-L version instead.
However, now that I know first hand the build quality of the M3C4 series, I would be hesitant to buy another. The need to baby the hex screws to avoid stripping and my one was not waterproof out of the box despite the IPX-8 claim, is simply not good enough.
I am looking at possibly getting another Catapult, but this time a neutral version. I don't have a neutral thrower and it would be nice to have in my collection. I have the original V1 and found everything about it excellent. The only downside (depending on your POV) is the weight of it - it's one heavy light.This is my first hearing of this, and I'm pretty close to buying an M3C4, but might go for the Fenix TK35 instead.

That's interesting news, but I don't think it will be much brighter than the 1-XML model. ET won't be able to drive 3-XMLs at full power, so if anything, it will be marginally brighter (which won't be easily noticeable by the eye) and have a bit more runtime (since running each LED at lower output will be more efficient). If they were able to drive each XML at 3A, now THAT'S something! I wish ET would actually test their ANSI output claims. Anyone ever notice EVERY light in their catalog has the ANSI claims an exact percentage of their LED lumens? That just can't be because exact efficiency of drivers, optics, and heat management for each model is different.
Thrunite announced the introduction of neutral models for Thierry lights on the marketplace.
I notice you tend to spout this same line in every single Eagletac topic. You're like a broken record. Quite amusing really. Just for kicks I went back and checked the 2011 catalog and your claim is quite off. ANSI lumens in their catalog range from ~70-85% of LED lumens and is not a set percentage like you so fantastically claim. Now please do us all a favor and stop trolling every single Eagletac thread you come across :fail:
What are "Thierry lights"?
