Looks good. Man 500 lumens may be too much i think. I don't know. Wonder if the X400-IR is civilian legal.

I was really hoping to see a compact x300 or something similar. Wonder what the msrp is on all those new items.

I have a hot rodded C2 Centurion with 520 lumens and converted to use 18650 rechargeables. It is pure badass.

Man and I thought the jump in lumen rating for the X300 last year was wild...
Waiting on the price of the 500 lumen X300...

The X300 Ultra might be just the ticket for my DDM4V5LW. I love the positioning and functionality of running an X300 at the 12-o'clock position in front of the front sight, but having a bit more light on a carbine would be useful outdoors.

I'll be selling my M600C for this setup too.

I was hoping to see this as well. As a matter of fact, it is the one thing I was hoping SF would bring out at SHOT.

I'm wondering if the X300 Ultra's beam is tight enough for long range use like the Scout lights. Also didn't Surefire have the 1 cell X300 last year at SHOT 2011? Whatever happened to that?

I have a Surefire with a drop-in 460 lumen LED bulb. It is ridiculously bright. Obviously the drop-in LED is more splash of light than a good Surefire focused and balanced beam but seriously it is a lot of light and you will lose your 'night vision' if you turn it on even briefly (think car headlight).
All that said - I would be willing to give a Surefire 500 lumen a shot.

Surprised there isn't more chatter on the cans.
The octagonal can I assumed was .22 but then in the video they appear to have it mounted on a 5.56 AR? Goes by kind of quick and I didn't pause it.
Also glad to see the compact .308 can getting some official attention from SF.

I paused it, it is on a 22 upper.

I think those lights seem to be getting larger and larger, I would be interested in more streamlined around the rails and smaller. Isn't the best place for light above or below the barrel on a weapon? Focus on getting the light as close to the hand guard as possible.

I've carried the LX2 light for a while, which is 200/15 lumens. It's similar in size to the Executive series, though it's just a hair thicker. That light with 500 lumens will be great.
What I'd really like to see is their IR weapon lights get a 50% increase or more.

No doubt. When I light up my plain old 120 indoors after my eyes have adjusted, it knocks me back.

Sweet, 500 lumens is a lot, especially for indoors. Outdoors/carstops good to go.

Definitely a good outside light.
