A nice thrower like a Thrunite TN31 to compare with my Convoy L2
Prefs the XM-L2 version.
Too bad, for TN31, bit on a Solarforce S2200
I just pre-ordered the Zebralight SC52w from the Zebralight website. Pre-orders went up yesterday. Projected ship date is June 21 (though they often slip so it could be a month later).
Lumens output is identical to the SC52 cool white. The SC52w uses a 4400k XM-L2.
On my list are:
1. Fire-Foxes HID FF4 (and along with it - 4 new 18650s) because it’s 6000 lumens and should have some powerful throw.
2. FLEX Asgard from FastTech - world’s first Bluetooth programmable flashlight.
3. Blackshadow EVA - another AAA light to my collection
Pretty much these, other than that, also looking at Fenix TK75, BTU Shocker, AK-47, all the big lights… but I guess I’ll pass.
Thanks for the news about the sc52w pre-order. For the D25A clicky in XM-L T6NW I’m not sure why Going Gear isnt showing NW I thought that’s what I linked to in my list but looking at it now I can’t tell from their site what emitter is is at all. So I updated the link to show where it is available, (at Light Junction) Here’s the link: http://www.lightjunction.com/EagleTac-D25A-clicky-neutral-white-XML-flashlight.html?zenid=4748e03de42f6f0594daec0a7575406f I’m going to have to contact GG about availability of the NW version. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
Thanks for posting the pre-order link, I updated it on my list too.
Do you know if there is any benefit to pre-ordering from ZL other than getting it sooner? (as opposed to waiting till the are out and stocked by dealers)
Also maybe one of the dealers will soon be offering a special discount to pre-order through them?
FF4 is interesting, I was reading the FF4 group buy thread yesterday.
+1 on the FLEX Asgard from Fasttech, I’m strongly considering that one too, might wait till someone gets one and does a review. I have to see if I have a device to program it with, I do have a smart phone with android and bluetooth, and I have a mini tablet with android but no bluetooth, my laptop doesn’t have bluetooth either, I kind of wish they would have added a mini USB port, they could have just put a rubber cover on it or maybe put it inside, I also may wait to see what the next versions are going to be.
I have the BS EVA, it’s small and bright, my 1st AAA keychain light, I took it off my key ring though because it looks like the anodize is going to start rubbing off and i’m going to buy a few other AAA keychain lights so I want to keep the EVA like new in case I gift it.
Also have you got a BlackShadow Terminator? I have two, it’s pretty awesome and rates up there with the TK, BTU, and AK.
Yeah I saw that you have the BlackShadow Terminatow CW already, and you bought yourself another NW! Yep I also have one already and it’s CW. So was just curious how TK-75, BTU or AK-47 compares, since I pretty much got nothing to compare it with (apart from a Fandyfire SRK). But I’ll save up for FF4 instead I guess!
Waiting for the FLEX Asgard reviews… should be out these few days! You got a smart phone with android and bluetooth - as long as the app works with your phone it should be good enough. Then again, most laptops have in-built bluetooth nowadays so I suppose your laptop is quite old. Alternatively, get a simple bluetooth dongle, or borrow a friend’s phone to program the light, and make your friend interested to buy one Asgard also 
I’ve got the asgard on pre order, not too worried about the programming, I use the most up to date Samsung galaxy s3 so it should do the trick.
I’m pretty sure the review lights have arrived or in transit as I know the has already posted a screen shot of the beta programming set up.
What he showed of that, I’m pretty damm excited tbh
I received both the V11r from Fasttech and the TX25C2 from IlluminationGear recently.
The V11R’s UI, output, form factor, battery options with the extender, and feel is great. It is currently being modified for a more neutral tint and slight bump in output. It is a very nice EDC type light.
The TX25C2 is amazing. I didn’t have the XM-L version but this thing throws for a stock light. The tint is a little cold for my tastes but the output is down right staggering. I have a few lights but still catch myself looking at this little light and being caught with wonder on how this little thing can put out sooo much light. If you don’t mind the larger size, cold tint, and preflash I would highly recommend this light even over the Sunwayman.
Some other lights I will be getting shortly:
Either a TM26 from Fasttech or a TK75 from Fasttech
Solar Storm modified by Vinh
Maybe lights include:
BTU
Terminator
One of the new MT-G2 offerings
A very nice custom titanium EDC of some sort
The other light that I didn’t chose initially from my above choice
FF4 from somewhere, anywhere I can

The Palight looks like a good deal with a 26650 and charger included. The clear 18650 sleeve is kinda cool too.

Just put the money down on it. Plus batteries from FT.
Next will be the Nitecore SRT7. Heaps of blinky!
Between these lights that’s my budget for the year gone and then some.

But probably I will wait for some time before buying the Asgard, as it is quite pricey now and the app is not finalized yet.
Nice Xtars, I haven’t looked at whats new from them for a while, any special reasons you decided on the Xtar BK12?
The UL1 is pretty cool too, I like how it can plug into a USB wall wart. I’ve been considering their TZ60 for a while.
WOW, nice high end choices, I envy you being able to shell out about $900 for 4 lights! :money_mouth_face:
Got me looking at Nitecore lights again!
Thanks for sharing everyone and keep ’em coming!
Hopefully for others as well but at least for me this has sparked an interest in several lights I wasn’t aware of or didn’t previously look too closely at!
