The Predator has minor electronics and body changes over the 1.0/1.2 model; I believe it has a slightly wider reflector, which would only reduce throw unless it were also made deeper, but any performance difference would be very slight and probably not noticeable unless you directly compared the newer/older models side-by-side.

I'm saying the older and newer models of Predator are roughly the same, the TN11 with its newer emitter puts out double the lumens over either version.

by 2.0 do you mean the model with the grip combat ring?

There's no mention of a 2.0 version on the Armytek web site. A Google search didn't turn up anything either. Does that version really exist?
Sold!
Who's having the best deal at the moment on the TN11 w/ coupon code?

Very interesting! I guess they just haven't updated their main web site yet. Nice find.

It's a Predator with slight external revisions, a larger head, and revised electronics for better runtime. A few CPFers already have them.
It's priced similarly everywhere; you might get a few dollars off if you peruse your CPF member discounts, and mind who's offering cheaper shipping.

Enjoy your fun new tool :thumbsup:
I got my light just now. And notice on the grooves/notches on the head there is a scrape where the anodizing has rubbed off and the metal there is rough. Think I should do anything about this? It's not THAT bad but very noticeable with silver metal poking through.

So long as it's not scraping against whatever screws onto it, it's fine. Keep the threads properly lubed, it won't affect anything.

Ah, if it bugs you, you can carefully file down the sharpness and magic marker the cut, or exchange it if you used a reputable dealer. Any EDC worth carrying is going to have some battle scars over time though.

Lights that are meant to be carried around are meant to look like they're carried around. Worry about scratches and dings when one of these are on your shelf (Cw_mi's pic/collection)
Just noticed the reflector is cracked by the LED and the silver ring up top had debris under it, like lint and stuff.
I'm starting to grow impatient with LightJuncion. If they charge you for something that's new, that's what I want! Think this will be my last purchase from them. This is the second light from them out of 3 total that I've had issues on regarding condition.
