CMG Tracer

CMG's website has a new announcement about a new LED headlamp. I can't find any other information about it. Anyone heard or seen more?

Not on EMS's site-just Ultra and Sonic.
Sounds like a good light. Would rather AA but AAA far better than coin cells. Must be like a Sonic size with strap. Just my guesses. Thanks for pointing it out.

Oh cool, I've been wanting someone to make something like that, though I too would have preferred an AA.

You mean this one?

Well, the loooooooooooooong link worked in my preview...search for "headlamp" on Eastern Mountain Sports homepage. It's under EMS Tracer, not CMG.

The link works ok for me, thanks! I wonder why they bothered to use a top strap for such a lightweight light, and whether you can remove it and still have a properly operating (still tiltable and doesn't fall off) headlamp. Note that they say it weighs 1.8 ounces but they don't specify whether that includes the battery (about 1/2 oz). I'm guessing it's 2.3 oz with battery which is about the same as a PT Scout and only 0.6 oz or so less than a PT Aurora. Anyway it's an interesting product and I'll check it out when I get a chance.

20 foot beam, 2 LEDs, 1 AAA and 10 hours of runtime.
As usual, the math just aint right.
Still it sounds like an interesting light.

So does anyone have one yet?

To me, at least in the picture, that thing looks huge (for what it is.) It is a single AAA light that looks to be the size of Tikka or Aurora. Maybe optics make it so big.

I'd prefer a single AA in this role, also, but I'd still be interested, depending on preformance.
