New Eagletac G25C2 MK2- 1030 lumens from 1x 18650

I went onto Eagletac's website today to see if there was anything new, and there was. While browsing their new products it looked like the G25C2 was the same, but when I looked at it again it said MK2 and 1030 lumens! Looking at the specs it looks like they put new circuitry in it and I didn't see anything that said you could only get max lumens with more batteries using their optional extender tubes. How do they get 1000 lumens with a XM-L U2 with 1x 18650/ 2x cr123?
If anyone knows any additional info on this or any of Eagletac's other new G25 or M25 lights, please share it.

I read somewhere a while ago that ET was going to drive the XM-L at 3.8a, I'm guessing this was the light that was being referred to.

Thats emitter lumens, when you click on specifications it still lists the old 770 led lumens and 640 ansi. Considering that the SL600 and G25C2 both do 750otf lumen I'm guess the MKII will be closer to that.

Like 1030 led lumens and maybe 780-800 ansi. I actually don't like so much power from 1x18650, 2 is great like the TK35 or M3X but one cell can only hold that much power for about 3min where you could pull 2.8 amps for quite a while till it got to hot.

In the D25C or C2 or CL2 its like look what I can to do BAM! LIGHT! but with a more tactical/hunting light you are sacrificing heat and runtime to get 150 more lumens for 3 min. Isn't really what I would want, id like to see run time charts between the old one and this.

Dude you missed the XP-G2 lights and the new LEO lights

Oh and its 856 ansi

Here are the specs.
[h=2]High lumen output[/h][h=3]LED lumen[/h]XM-L U2 (Cool White): 1030/475/91/8
XM-L T6 (Neutral White): 957/450/86/7

XM-L T6 (Neutral White): 795/370/71/6

to bad the low jumps from 2 to 7 with the MKII. When they make super bright light they need to space the modes better id say 2lm then 20ish then 75 and up.

how will this light compare to the scorpion?

So Eagletac finally beats Zebralight SC600, doesnt it?

No wonder.

Eagletac has been constantly updating (LEDs, modules) and evolutionizing (circuits, Mark II's) their products most of which are very popular (entire D-series, Titanium editions, P20, T20, G25; now the LEO's lights, etc) and we get news over news from them.

Zebralight and Fenix .. they take much longer to come up with new, updated, improved or evolutionized stuffz!

I am not surprised the low went up. It looks like the circuitry Eagletac is going too is meant for absolute max output instead of a good size range.
Too bad it is 7lm though.

As soon as they halve the size and figure out low modes, sure, but insane-high-modes-over-all-else has always been EagleTac's thing. It's good to see there's no slowing the evolution of the tactical light format, at least..

A 3.8 amps X ?? Volts = ??? Watts??
So far I have posed this question a dozen times and so no one has answered the question.
My guestimation is that 3.2 volts is the nominal drive voltage for most leds.
It must G-14 classified top secret or something.

I'm getting sick of this TBO

Buy D11 (ages ago) i week later the V2 comes out
Buy T20C2 mk2 ages ago 1 week later the HO comes out
Buy G25C2 , not long ago and now a V2

I am in agreeance 7lm is way too high ....

"Rant over" :thinking:

You just started, it's only beginning for you; the 1x123 light I got when I started here was an "unheard of" 130 lumens..

I doubt that was OTF! LOL! Then it took two years for them to get to 200. I hear what HooNz is saying, spend your hard earned and it's yesterdays news in a flash. When I started reading this forum the next big thing on the horizon was ET's T20C2 MKII w/XP-G R5, with a whopping 300 OTF lumens, for like.....1 minute! Flashaholics can be a fickle bunch, 300 lumens in a single cell EDC isn't enough for some nowadays!

All I want to know if this is going to be better than the T N 11 s

It looks like it's going to be a close one. If G25C2 MkII's driver is efficient as claimed, the light will have a significant advantage over the TN11 series when it comes to 1x18650 configuration, as TN11 has isn't well regulated on 1x18650. On the other hand, TN11s appear to have their outputs underrated, as turboBB's measurements show their outputs exceeding 950 lumens when running on two cell configurations.

Yeah I think the old one will be better for single cell operation the MKII will be great on 2 18500's

I want to see if my existing light can be upgraded.

laur

The 1 thing that the TN 11s sucks is the lack of running to CR 123 batteries. It drained them so fast and get extremely hot. So your only option is to go with an 18 650. But with the Eagle t the fact that you can run both types of batteries is the best thing

+1 .5 lumens is plenty high for a low & what's up with 91 lumens for the 2nd lowest mode That used to be modified surefire territory!
