    The one you guys have is 492 lumens. I actually recommend the neutral white. Bit less lumens but you can barely tell te diff and it is a lot nicer to look at.

    Hey he said he just got back into town. He has or will ship the light to you right away. Your guys period will begin when you each have the light in your hands though don't worry.

    that's all i need is another flashlight... my wife already rolls her eyes at the one's i have! is there any plans for a AA version? i don't like having to have one off batteries for flashlights, and only purchase AAA and AA flashlights. I have a solar recharger for camping that works with AA only, and to me having multiple battery types while backpacking is a PIA. Not to mention if I'm in the boonies, purchasing these kind of batteries can be difficult at best.

    No AA one to my knowledge.

    CR123's are very easy to find, and if you have the light you should have the rechargables.

    AA lights are nice for being able to buy cheap batteries, but many light makers are moving away from them since they are dim and don't run very long.

    Used it this weekend:

    First impressions:
    Awesome flashilight, extremely well built and very nice grip. Small enough to easily fit in my pocket or on my beltloop, feels strong. Bright as a mother! Wow, this thing is bright. I'm not a flashlight fanboi by any means but wow this was great. As for the cons, price tag is a bit high for just a flashlight. I let the guys at camp pass it around and everyone was very impressed, then again price point had them think twice about buying one and although they all were very impressed they said price was too high for them to buy one (all 50+ yr old guys).

    used it at night, low light conditions and dim lighting, worked great all around. The batteries i see as kind of a negative if you're out in the woods, and i have no idea how long they last.

    Final impression: I think i'm going to buy one, i am very impressed. Hopefully we can get a group buy going on to lower the price a tad.

    Send me the next guys info please, i'll pass it along

    i'm actually excited that i saw this.. although way to late to get on your mailing list.. this may be a flashlight to get... tired of having to wait for parts for my surefire every time i drop it off the plane.... this would make a good preflight light, sure it would shine to the tip of the dome and the tip of the tale... i'll have to check back later for more reviews
