Oh, and the HDS EDC's clip can be clipped onto ball cap as well.

I'm looking forward to the Surefire E1X and E2X (cree versions of E1L/E2L). They were shown off at SHOT Show 2007 during the Surefire party (beamshots below). Hopefully they'll be out sometime in March.

Another plug for the Arc-P. I finally got one of these beauties six months ago to replace the MagLite Solitaire that had been riding in my pocket for five years. Having a flashlight at hand is practical, and not just when your eyes tank. The Arc-P is beautifully designed and crafted, tiny but powerful. The LED should never burn out or break and the circuitry keep the thing bright throughout the battery's life. $40.00USD no longer seems like a lot of money for a pocket light, even to an original cheapskate.

Yeah, I'm going to be picking up one of those. My DMini is my stopgap so I don't have to hold my breath for Surefire to deliver something (may be still hard to find for a long time even after release)

Yes it's beginning to appear that way. I keep hearing about delays on CPF. I think I'm going to buy an E1E and stick the high powered Lumens Factory incandescent bulb in it, then get the official Surefire cree head attachment when it comes out.

SHOT Show. For a second I thought "wow, the flashlight forum folks already have their own meets going on, nice! uh, "Single-beam, Halogen, Optics Trade Show?"
Then I googled it. It's the "Shootin' Huntin' Outdoors Trade Show!" Aw man, piggybackin' offa a bigger deal...DOH.
Come to think of it, how come we head-fiers have our own Can meets? I mean really, are those Home Theatre guys really that bad? I know a few of us do go to the CES and Stereophile shindigs too. We should all get along too, it's all about the music after all!

SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Though, I could see how it might be fun to have a UV light (http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/show....php?t=155312). Scientific curiosity!

I just picked up some new Fenix Cree based torches (P1D, L0D, L1D) and they are very nice!
The Cree LED is a winner! I have an HDS EDC60XRGT which is the standard by which I judge all my other lights. The new Fenix P1D-CE is very impressive indeed! The color looks to my eye, as good or better than that of the Luxeon based 60XRGT. The brightness of the P1D is rated at 135 lumens on high. There is no question that it is quite a bit brighter than the HDS. It is physically much smaller than the HDS as well. In the HDS' favor, the HDS is built like an Abrams tank and the P1d like a Willys Jeep. For the buckage though, the new Fenix torches are hard to beat;
The Fenix Store
Cheers!

Heheh, you know the only worthy replacement for the U60XRGT will be the U120XRGT.

No doubt! How about a U135XRCE?
I would like a compact version too!
Hey, what do you think about HDS/EDC being acquired by Nova Tec?

ok so today I got tired of waiting, headed down to a local vendor, and picked up a Surefire E1e. Wow! It's defintely a lot smaller than I thought it was. Already have the high output lamp from Lumen Factory coming, and I'll replace the head with the Cree LED version when it comes out.
I also got the privilege of testing out the M6 with low output lamp....WOW!!! I can only imagine how bright it is with the high output lamp.

Hopefully it means lower prices and more availability, but I'm not holding my breath. Their military contract is good for them but probably not for consumers. At least they're making money.
At least Henry is still there.
