So the Estrela goes from .04 lumens all the way up to 1,000 lumens, runs on either rechargeable 18650 batteries or CR123A batteries, has three modes of operation, Cree XM-L2 U2 LED, etc, all for $129. I’m looking forward to the release!

I’m pretty “set” in my ways when it comes to flash lights – I really like Surefire, however, I will be buying one of these when it does come out – It looks like they have taken all the best parts from other lights and incorporated them into this thing.
Looks pretty badass, but I too am a SF fan, so I’ll wait to see some reviews before I jump on this one.
I too will be trying this one out. Iif it pushes 1000 lumen and manages the heat, its well worth the price. Poriod.
