    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.

    Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe

    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.
