I know right? My 7G5 V2 is still in the hands of USPS and already they come out with a better version...

Looks like the same size as the V2, but with better circuitry!
If the price is right, I will order!

It is still about a month out. There will be some others very soon.
There will be some added value given with the lights.
Not sure of price yet.

There isn't a huge difference in the v2 and the cs. The differences are the 3a vs 2.8 and the strobe is hidden. The low is actually noticeably low-low. Nonetheless, there's nothing there that'll give me roused up

It will run on 4X CR123
There will be a pressure switch available

Im more curious as to how it looks. Will it look the same as the V2? Will it look better? At least the collimator head is interchangeable. I might transfer mine to this one.

Look at the dimensions: length 145mm. Pretty short for 2x18650 flashlight.
I am really glad I just saw this. I am thinking about buying my first nice thrower and was going back and forth between the Crelant and the SWM T40CS. They both have positives but if I understand the prerelease info on Crelant's website, there will be a switch up near the front end of the light? The side switch is what I am referring to. As you can tell from this being my first post that I am very new to the LED world but I am trying to learn fast. This site is certainly the place to do it! Thanks.

Yup, The CS series will have a side switch. Not sure yet but it may have full variable rather than fixed output levels. I should have more info over the weekend, Phoro's are not available yet I have only seen CAD drawings. It should be a very robust looking light.
There is also going be several other new lights.
I was thinking that too. Perhaps it is similar to the Eagletac M3C4 XM-L. The new version is driven at 3.5A and uses a U2 XM-L.

And yet it still works with the V2's aspheric head

There are lots of errors on the Crelant website.
It is probably going to be about the same size as the current 7G5.

I did not know that it could use the sane aspheric head as the 7G5 V2. In that case the length is probably a typo.
