Does anyone have experience with the new Black Diamond soliras? The lithium ion option is pretty attractive, but I'm wondering if it's worth the price. thanks

I have not seen it used, but it looks like a really nice light. Should be very bright.

I had one but unfortunately lost it. Great light, the brightest thing I have ever seen on full power, but with a lower output mode for conservation. Battery life was great and came with a car charger. The little rubber tab covering the recharge port fell off almost immediately and was replaced with duct tape.

I stepped down to the Spaceshot2 for a replacement, largely because the battery pack is better designed for extreme cold. But remembering the power of the Solaris makes me sad every time I use it.
