Somehow I missed all the announcements about this light. I used to have a Quark RGB but sold it once they became hard to find and got valuable. I didn't have $75 to spend on a novelty light (cause at 330Lm [white] on high it's not really on-par with what a $75 light should be in terms of regular performance) but I pulled some strings and got a dealer (who I won't mention cause they're competition to some BFC sponsors) to send me one for review. I can not wait till it gets here, I'm already a fan of Eagletac's D25 series (in-fact a D25C clicky was the first light I was ever sent for review that I didn't have to pay for) so I'm expecting I'll really like this one. I've actually been meaning to get a blue light recently for blood tracking while hunting and for identification in my FAK's trauma pack (and a green one for some other needs) so this one light will cover all those needs and more. I also like how hard it is to get into red/blue strobe mode (it takes 11 head loosen-tighten-loosen sequences) to hopefully keep people from getting themselves into any trouble (I could do without any of the blinking modes on this light but that's my preference).
Anyway anyone else excited about it? This is the first time I've ever been excited about the use of a TIR, I'm usually strictly a reflector guy with a few aspheric "zoomie" throwers but I'm actually really glad ET went with the corrugated TIR lens to even out the beam from the quad-die RGBW XM-L2.

Sorry no pic's in this thread, shouldn't be long before I've got it tho and I'll post up a bunch. I happened to be planning on buying a regular D25LC2 as my next light so if I can get by with <1/2 of the amount of light as I'm used to (current EDC is a Quark QP2L-L burst mode @ 900Lm or a SC600W @ 750Lm) I may just end up buying this one out after I'm done with it, 900>330 is quite the drop off even tho I'm sure ~300 is more than enough for most of what I use a light for. The one disappointing thing is it can only have a single die lit at a time. I would love to be able to have full-spectrum from a quad-die RGBW LED emitter but the power draw is just to great for the palm size flashlight to handle, the Quark RGB was the same way.
