I just saw on flashlightreviews.com that Terralux have updated their venerable ministar2 maglite dropin from a side emitter to a high dome luxeon. Hopefully this will combine the long runtime with a beam which might actually look good!

Has anyone (other than quickbeam) tried the new ministar2? I got so fed up with the crap beam on my old maglite/ministar2 that I gave it away to a friend. If the new ministar2 is any good, I might lash out and get one again (since the proton seems to have become vapour again, I need to buy something).

I am also waiting for it to hit the shelves,
I was going to buy the Ministar 2 until I heard how bad
the beam was, instead I bought the Microstar TLE-10 which has a slightly better and more focused beam.

Yes, TerraLUX has changed the design of the TLE-5, MiniStar2, from a Side Emitting Luxeon I to a Lambertian Luxeon I. As you noted this hopefully will improve the beam quality. We will be receiving a shipment of the HD MiniStar2's early next week, and they will be up on the website as soon as I get them in.
