Novetech Lights Coming soon

They are expected by end of month - and rumor has it that it's not the
traditional Notatech/HDS Systems "Next Month means next year" production release date either!

They are available in 85 ($110) and 120 ($150) lumen flavours, and allegedly have approximately 1hr of run time while running at full steam with fresh batteries. Not too shabby.

Apart from candle-power, there are several models addressing some needs of the LEO/SAR flashlight dork community:

What are the differences between the EDC, the Tactical, and the Programmable models?

The EDC model and Tactical model are pre-programmed from the factory with particular output settings and come with extended buttons. These models are less complicated than the Programmable version, and are a great choice for most users. The Programmable version offers a flat button and the most flexibility for users who like to personalize the settings of their flashlight. There is no other production flashlight on the market that offers the wide range of output options of the NovaTac EDC Programmable flashlights.

So, the "Tactical" model has the designation T posted after the name, so EDC -85T. It features a strobe option for disorienting your opponently (or giving them a very clear target to shoot at) as well as an extended thumb button (ala surefire) for actuating the on/off/programming switch.

The"Programmable" model has all the potential of the other two, however it has a flat button, and the programming complexity of the old and well known HDS EDC-60 - which has been my EDC flashlight for nearly a year. This is the choice for users who require maximum flexibility.

For purely LEO applications, the Tactical model would suffice, however for a general purpose EDC oh-SHTF flashlight that can do it all, Tactics and outdoor survival, the Programmable model seems to be the appropriate choice.

More to come once the flashlights are actually delivered.
