Zebralight is coming out with a 6 mode, 3.2 inch, 1xAA SIDE clicky, sometime in 2014 (theoretically ).
-XM-L2 emitter
-the head is a little wider and ostensibly has a deeper reflector, so it will be a bit throwier than the sc52
-1/10 inch longer than the sc52
-max output is 400+ lumens, .7 hours
-Min output .2 lumens
-MSRP $49
Looks interesting. Max output above is Eneloop I believe, however I also wonder how it performs with a 14500.
Edit: When I originally posted this info the light was listed as having micro usb charging, and a tail clicky. It has since been relisted under the side clicky series (probably something I should have assumed due to the nomenclature).
I'm not sure if it will have the micro usb charging (probably not) but it was listed that way originally.
Edit 2 - The 400+ max output is in fact not a turbo mode, but is listed as a .7 hour high mode akin to the 300 lumens of the current SC52
Edit 3 - anodizing was originally listed as black, but they have taken that down now
Edit 4 - The length has gone from 3.6 inches to 3.2
Edit 5 - Its been almost a year since I've checked this thread. Its a bit bigger than I remember lol. Well this thing finally came out so I guess I should update to reflect the final product. Its hard to believe that this light started out as a $39 Christmas special back in 2011.
-XM-L2 emitter
-$69 MSRP
-wider head than SC52 with a smooth reflector, definitely throwier
-535lm Turbo mode for 3 min then 325lm for 0.8hr with Eneloop Pro
-bigger heavier body to heatsink higher lumens, 2.0oz vs 1.4oz SC52
-not rated for 14500 use, this light is built from the ground up for Eneloops
As always selfbuilt's review is the best resource of information (and this thread of course ) for the SC5.
