Current Lights

EagleTac has three different ways of quoting lumen output for its lights: emitter lumens, out-the-front (OTF), or ANSI FL-1, so be careful when comparing light outputs of different versions. If the output type isn't listed, it is probably emitter lumens which they used up until late 2010.

D25 Clicky Series This is a series of lights with the same user interface. All are 10-mode reverse clicky flashlights with 3 constant modes in addition to 7 flashy modes available by cycling through the constant modes twice. When switched to High, the light will be in Turbo mode for 90 seconds before backing down to High. With the head loosened, all 10 modes are available. With the head tightened, the modes alternate between Turbo and Strobe. A group of lower modes (Moonlight, Low, Med instead of Low, Medium, High) is available by twisting the head back and forth three times from the loosened position. Mode memory is optional via three twists from the tightened position. Originally this light was introduced with five different LED's available: Cree XM-L U2, Cree XP-G S2, or the new Cree XT-E R5 in addition to neutral Cree XM-L T6 and Cree XP-G R4. However the initial batch of XT-E lights were recalled due to problems with beam quality. A clicky body was also made available to allow people who had twisty D25 mini's to convert their light to a clicky. The clicky series was introduced in May 2012.

D25A Clicky 1xAA with a Cree XM-L U2 LED, output is 0.5, 8, 75, and 122 ANSI lumens on Turbo. The XT-E promises 0.5, 9, 78, or 188 lumens. With a Cree XP-G S2, output is 0.5, 9, 71, or 110 lumens. On a lithium-ion 14500 battery the light loses the lower modes. Introduced in May 2012.
D25A2 Clicky 2xAA with a Cree XM-L U2 LED, output is 0.5, 22, 182, or 277 ANSI lumens on Turbo. With the XT-E, output is 0.5, 23, 154, and 222 lumens. With a Cree XP-G S2, output is 0.5, 22, 149, or 219 lumens. Review: Light Reviews.
D25C Clicky 1xCR123A with a Cree XM-L U2 LED, output is 0.5, 22, 182, or 277 ANSI lumens. With XT-E R5 output is 0.5, 23, 154, or 222 lumens. With the XP-G S2 LED output is 0.5, 22, 149, or 219 lumens. Neutral LED's will have 7-10% lower output. Reviews: Light Reviews (XP-G, XM-L).
D25C2 Clicky 2xCR123A or 1x17670 with a Cree XM-L U2 LED, output is 5, 50, 370, or 548 ANSI lumens on Turbo. With XT-E R5 output is 5, 37, 239, or 344 lumens. The XP-G S2 output is 5, 32, 238, or 344 lumens.

The XP-G S2 output is 5, 32, 238, or 344 lumens. This light is slightly wider and comes with a sleeve for 2xCR123A use to avoid battery rattle. Review: Light Reviews.
