I was at Inner Mountain Outfitters yesterday and got to check out some cool new lights.
This one is made in Switzerland
The knob on the end is a dimmer that controls the brightness. I was told it was pulse width modulated not just a resistor. It also has a glow sheet behind the LED's to give you enough light to change the batteries. Very robust machined aluminum construction!
Here is the web page: http://www.techt.ch/ You can use babel Fish to convert the French to something that resembles English.
Another cool light was the German 26LED Spe-Lu:

Jeepers, Dave, how'd that picture get so huge?
I haven't decided whether to bring more of these lights in, so I'd value any input here in terms of interest in this light (at $250-300).

Ted, that 199.00 price is in Euros, in Switzerland, and does not include shipping to the US, or customs tariffs. Also, the one I got was through another dealer.
I'm in contact with Techtonique now about getting them direct; we'll have to see what kind of pricing ensues.

BTW, we have plenty of the Lupine Spe-Lu headlamps now, as well as extra batteries.
I'm very impressed with this light! As Dave said, its fin-cooled housing is ready for the new Luxeon LEDs, so watch for more innovation from Lupine. Meanwhile, check out the stats on the Spe-Lu at our site (below), or the Lupine site (above).
