Santa brought me one too! I believe it is the same led emitter as the rayovac and taskforce, it is a cree LED. It uses a reflector instead of a collimator (sp?) lens. It is not quite as bright as the C-cell cree LEDs I have, but pretty close. I haven't put new batteries in yet, so the original batteries could be a factor in the brightness. It is best to just leave the beam focused, as widening the beam just dims the output. It is heavy, and better machined than the aforementioned lights, and also has a very nice molded codura case. I think they only had these in stock for a few days.
I think it is a "special" deal for leatherman, as their factory/headquarters is right next to my costco, and when I stopped at the factory store last week, they didn't have any of these lights.
