A Crelant 7G5 V2 a new model??

Ya me to. I just sent Hank a email asking him to put my name on one when they come in or if he has any.

Keep us posted Rick.

I have been deciding between a DBS and the 7G5, now that the V2 has been announced I think that will do it for me!!

samsat,

I just got an email from Hank, they are in stock at International Outdoor Store. Don't know of a price yet....:(

Just placed my order, $85 delivered!!!! Thanks Rick

Read that some others prefer the look of V2. But I prefer the look of V1.

Looks nice. I like the new look over V1.

Me too. From the photos, one can say that the ano is more shiny (cheap) than the excellent matt finish of the first version. The reflector is the same, probably circuit too. However if they change the UI, that would allow for momentary on, it would be great.

I like the stainless steel bezel. I don't like it's lighter than V1 (despite heavy SS bits).

Yeah, the V2 is much lighter than V1!

I'm with you and 2100. But a guy still has to get this new one.

From close inspection of those pics, I'd suppose the cigar ring and the rings on the ext.tube are rubber made, to improve the hand grip. That alone and the new look makes for a nice upgrade over V1, even in case UI and reflector remained the same.

Your welcome samsat. I just ordered it from Hank at IOS. Now comes the waiting game. This is what I was told from Hank at IOS about the new 7G5 - From what the manufacturer describes, the thrower is better and brighter than the old one.

From the CPF description the head size seems to be identical to the old one and the lumen ratings are the same. So I doubt it will be better than the old one, but we'll see, maybe they have worked on the reflector's shape and curvature to improve the throw.

I copied and pasted what the dealer wrote to me. I just want it to be as bright as some of the 7G5's on here that seem way better than others.

Anyone know if they If Hank has any coupons that can be used? Seached online wihout results. There is a option to apply at checkout.

Mail person just rang on the door flashlight package in hand.

Very nicely boxed with accessories 5xGITD rings on the extension body and one between the bezel and the lens.

Now, 6 more hours till darkness!

looking forward to a little review and maybe a beamshot or two..hey that rhymed lol..

found some lux readings on the crelant and i'm trying to decide between it and the sun t40cs..seems the crelant has a higher lux reading but I like the UI of the sun..

After looking at all the stuff on these two I do not think you can go wrong with either Pounder. I would go with the one that suits your fancy. If I preferred the UI on the t40cs then that is the way I would go. That t40cs looks pretty sweet to me. Of course you could get both!

lol yeah I could..wife would probably disagree though..

samsat,

Did you get the 7G5 V2 today? What day did you order yours on? Just some pictures of the light would work...

pounder,

I have the 7G5 and the new 7G5 U2 coming, I am more of a collector but the Sunwayman T40CS is a AWESOME light with quality you don't see very often. When you get done buying both of those you need to buy the Sunwayman T20CS that is another great light to have.
