Hi Kevin, I would assume it's the New Version but I would ask them before you buy it to make doubly sure if you have doubt. I love mine. It's the new version. Bought it almost 1 year ago now. I've used it hundreds of times since then. WOnderful design. Well worth owning. Fits in my fireplace on cold rainy days but most often use it on top of the picnic table setting on a 12" sq. tile I bought just for this purpose for a couple bucks. Every survival prepper should have one.

I had to return the one I got from Amazon because it was not Version 2. Not sure if this helps.

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

I think the blue one was the old one and the silver one is the newer one. Anyway, both didn't work for me :(.

No idea other. It certainly has nothing to do with quality or functionality. Probably just because it's been out for a while in silver and is no longer the newest thing on the block.

I did not have the older version, but my friend who is also a professional photographer says there is a world of difference between the sharpness in the newer version and the older one. I actually purchased the new based on his recommendation.

Hello there, I am not sure which is new and which is old model but certainly I am not very happy with it. It stopped working just after few weeks of moderate use. I don't consider this is a quality product!

It's now two and one half months later and the same question remains. Anyone knows the answer? The description still says Ilife06. Customer service told me that they would remedy the situation if it really ships with the old version.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

New models with slightly less power. There both in the website catalogue - for now. You can compare specs. The new model has the advantage of having fresher batteries.

A recent review says it is now the new version. Looks like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wa2bQAnIL._SL500_SS100_.jpg

I don't know if there is a newer version, but this is an improved version of my 2006 one which I finally wore out. We'll make, very similar, but with some reinforcements in some stress areas, but nearly identical to my original.

the two main buttons on top (left and right click) of the old version have a matte finish that feels very high quality, almost metallic like a media-blasted aluminum. The new ones are shiny plastic and feel MUCH cheaper. Yes they may both function the same, and are both incredibly durable (I travel with mine and drop them constantly), but I'd pay double for the old version over the new. It just FEELS so much nicer to me.

I don't know if this is a new version or not. I do know that it is rugged, uses six AA batteries that last forever, and is nearly as bright as my old Streamlite was. I use it for work and it is first rate.

I have never seen the older version but the best I can tell they are virtually identical except for the battery. If you look at the parts list on Black and Decker's website they appear to share the majority of their parts. The new lithium batter version should be slightly lighter but there is probably not much difference otherwise.
