What do you think will be the coolest or best new lights that either have come out in the past 2 months, or lights that are scheduled to be released in the near future?

Obviously the near future lights havent been produced yet so cant really be reviewed yet, unless someone has gotten a pre-production version to review. So which of the near-future lights look and seem like they will be the most desirable as far as their modes, power, efficiency, options, etc?

Also, maybe someone has heard of a few lights(or just 1) that is supposed to come out some time in the not-so-near-future that should be really cool, so feel free to list them/it....

I was just looking at the Zebralight SC52 that is scheduled to be released in about a month for shipment, and it'll supposedly output 280L on turbo from an AA battery! IT appears to have a larger area above the switch, which seems to indicate that they've recessed the switch so it will be deeper than the SC51. It'll also run on a 14500, with a high of 500L, but for only a minute, til it drops to 280L. That light seems really cool, and I'm tempted to buy one, but I am also considering their SC80 as well, and its got its advantages too, so I'm stuck between the 2 right now.

Coolest recent lights:
Saabluster's massive-throwing modified TN31. Over 200k lux!
Oveready XPG2 H3 Triples. 1600 lumens in your pocket!
Malkoff XPG2 Wildcat. 1350 lumens OTF and 1150 stabilized, with no step down.
Veleno Designs DD. A very cool tiny package with QTC and its very own little charging station, AND optional trits!

I don't know much about what is upcoming.

Well... I guess the coolest recent light for me is the predator xpg2. Coolest upcoming is the pd32 ultimate.

Nitecore TM20.
Although I have read somewhere they may scrap producing it because of too high costs.
I've emailed Nitecore about it yesterday, no reply yet. :whistle:

I'm waiting on the TM20 too, really hope it doesn't get scrapped....I've been wanting one since I first saw the prototype.

Update us when/if you hear back from Nitecore

Although it's only been 2 days since I emailed them.
No reply yet. I have a feeling the project has been canned. :confused:
But I will post if I get a late reply.
