Does this have to be just Spyderco? I've heard some exciting things from SureFire...

Okay. This is probably of limited interest to the majority of Spyderco forum members, but I know we have some flashlight geeks among us so I'll post it anyway. This is a quote from MattK, a CPF member and representative for the online flashlight dealer BatteryJunction:

To the toys!

E1B - 1 CR123A backup light, 2 stage fwd clicky, 80L/5L, $110, available for order now.

6PD, Z2, C2, G2Z etc will all be available ~April as 6PDL, Z2L, etc with P60L drop-in. G2L-TN & G2L-GN coming as well.

E2D LED Defender, 120L, March, $136

P61 120L drop-in - I didn't get a date or price.

G3L-BK-KIT01 - G3 with a new V85 (iirc) polymer (kydex?) holster that holds 3 extra cells plus a G3L incl. 9 Batteries $129, soon, within weeks.

X400 Weaponlight - Basically an X300 plus a laser - the best got better. $435.

UA2 OPTIMUS, May >, 200L with SSC P7 (4 x EZ1000 die), 8 output levels(2-200) + strobe + sos, fuel guage, variable focus beam. $279.

TITAN T1A - Yup, the AL TITAN is official - no date, no price, but expected this year, will use a CR123A, anodized black, barely bigger than the CR2 original I understand.

U2B INVICTUS , late this year, 400L!! with SSC P7, 8 output levels(2-200) + strobe + sos, fuel guage as UA2 but 2x as bright, not focusable and undoubtedly more spendy.

HID ARCLIGHT - smallish HID, 1600L, 12 & 16 CR123A battery versions (same output, diff runtime). 1.6Hr runtime with 16XCR123A, 1.1 with 12XCR123A. 10.5" and 8.4" long respectively, bezels are 3.45" and 3.1" No pricing. No release date.
Big news for SureFire fans. If you don't like SureFire, there are reports of new products from Inova, Coast, and Mag instruments as well. We'll know more once people report back from the show.
