Surefire LX2 LumaMax
As mentioned in the new Surefire availability post, the Surefire LX2 was included in their 2009 catalog. Unlike it's smaller sibling, the LX1, the LX2 is now out on dealer's shelves.
The LX2 is an exciting development for Surefire due to the compactness and brightness of the light. The LX2 has an overall length of 5.4" inches yet has a maximum output of 200 lumens.
Fortunately for us, the LX2 utilizes an L1-style tailcap, which operates by pressing for light or turning it for constant-on.
The LX2 also features new styling from Surefire, lacking the traditional knurling found on Surefires. Instead, the light has grooves running the length of it creating a very modern look. Even better, the LX2 comes standard with the E1B pocket clip.
With the LX2 finally leaving the realm of vaporware, the Lx1 can't be too far behind. I'm hoping it will be out by Christmas, but I'm not holding my breath.
The price of the LX2 is not inconsiderable at $195. However, you'd be hard pressed to find a light with that kind of performance coupled with Surefire's reliability.
