Zweibrueder Germany offers three new lights, the "David"-Line (Inspired by David and Goliath) . All of them use 1aa-cell and probably Luxeons. (Zweibrueder never uses the word "Luxeon" but speaks about "power chips" or some other nonsense).
Zweibrueder (Only German text for now)
All of them use some kind of optics, no reflectors as far as I can see. :ironic:
They advertise the lights as "42 lumens" "special forces ready".
They also rate them as "splashproof" but not dunkable as far as I can tell, not sure wether they have glass or plastic windows (probably none at all) protecting the optics.
Two models are made of aluminium, the only difference seems to be in the size of the head/optics. The one in the middle is made of stainless steel and though it looks like a twisty, it seems to have some kind of tail-switch. As far as we now from earlier models, they will use a reverse clicky in all of those lights.
Once again, Zweibrueder offers some very nice looking lights, but I really doubt they managed to avoid old mistakes like unprotected optics, insufficient protection against wanter entry and so on. I'd like to see some runtime plots though, since this is only the second "zweibrueder" line of lights that needs some kind of regulator to work. The first one, the V² lithium suffered from all the mistakes mentioned before. It never got any attention. (And rightly so, as I might add.)
The "David" lights are sold for about 45 to 55 Euro by some retail sites in germany, which makes them direct competitors for the Fenix L1P. I really doubt they are prepared to fight this new CPF-Goliath though. :touche: :naughty:
