did anyone say Eagletac?
on BLF??
WTH?!?!
;)
You’re winning us over! So far I haven’t seen anyone mention this: http://www.eagletac.com/html/mx25l3/specs.html Incredibly similar to the SX25L3, throws better, with MT-G2 and XML2 options… .9 inches longer than the L3C. ET is off da hook!!

Thanks Leaftye, hadn’t seen that.
They’re making so many lights that are so similar! They’re all cool but it’s hard to imagine them selling lots of all these models.

I have to say though, that to my eyes , the MTG2’s I’ve seen so far, are equal to, or better than the nichia 219. A part of that may be the fact that the MTG2 was just that much brighter, so it may not have been an entirely fair comparison.
I am surprised that they are only 70 CRI though. Still, at that, they are still way better than any of the XML emitters.
Compare similar brightness… I have kinda seen the same effect where I preferred the brighter light over a Nichia 219…
I was really surprised how well 3x XP-G2 (with mixed emitters for a white beam) rendered colors despite that neither of the emitters were more than 70 CRI. And my average light have 80 CRI or better. I have done the same with XM-Ls…
It just shows how much a nice tint can mean…
I don’t think there will be that much evolution. And I don’t think the marked is large enough for it. I would not mind to be proven wrong though, because it would benefit the flashlight market as a whole.
What an MT-G2 can do, several XM-L2s/Nichias/XP-G2s can in most cases do better in a more compact package if its made correctly. Most seem to want more throw out of the MT-G2. Which is one of the things several smaller emitters will easier do better.
Good points, but darn there is just some sexy about the MTG2 so I would love to see what its true potential might be.

Any guesses on whether these will have nice ruler flat output curves?

Don’t mean to hijak the thread but just noticed the print on these say “Eagtac”. Looked strange so I did some searching and found that some Eagletac models have the full word and some don’t. I dont have any Eagletac’s, so I have never noticed it before.

I dont have any Eagletac’s, so I have never noticed it before. These are some nice looking lights. I will definately consider one when the price is a bit lower.
Lol, you're right. I'm the proud owner of two EAGTCACS.
