I also wish that the LX1 had a lower low - like it used to. My favorite generation was the third generation L1 with the TIR optic that had the 1.1 lumen low/22 lumen high. I would love to see this LX1 with a 3-ish lumen low. Hopefully one of these smart modders can figure it out...

You mean like the top light in this photo I just took today? :naughty:
Now that I think about it, IIRC the LuxIII/22/1.1 had an aspheric (was that the fourth generation?), the subsequent Cree/65/10 has the TIR (fifth generation?)
The earlier LuxI/~15/0.9 (third generation?) had some kind of optic I think, but it wasn't a TIR was it?
Jeez, it is difficult to keep them straight...
Edit: Is the model that you're thinking of at this link here? I don't think it was a TIR though... :thinking:

June now, rather than April ?
Guess they must still have plenty of L1s to get rid of . . .

Nope. It's simply because SureFire schedule new products into production and the LX1 is lower priority than many other new products SureFire have lined up.wow, i really wonder what the hold up is here. are they still QC'ing the light?

CHRISTAMS! You've got to be kidding me!
Good Lord!
Seriously, is there an engineering problem or something, I know about the military, and all that, but another eight months?

The information I have received is that it isn't high up on the to-do list for a few reasons. A couple being that;
There is already the L1 & E1b which are very similar in design and output.
The market for 1 cell lights isn't as strong as 2 cell lights, and the LX2 is definitely a strong player in that market.
This is all hear-say, however it does make sense when you really think about it.

Yep - that's what I was told when I asked. It's as simple as that. There is no desperate rush to get it released, especially when they have far more exciting models to be concentrating on. The Vampires are just what the Military have been after for years.

I'll be there, who's paying for the plane ticket?

Heck, I can be there in 30 min, or 1.5 hrs. from the desert.
Except, I am not exactly a hands on protest, upset customer.
All I hope is that it as nice as the LX2, and worth the wait.
Thanks for the info guys.

They also have the 123 Titan. I have the Ti model, and take it on special projects.
Is it worth it to have both. I may get this to hold me over until the LX1 is out.
Anyone have both Ti & Alum. Titans
