I’m in!

30

Would prefer 4 cells instead of 8 (in fact not interested at all if 8 cells). Go for max lux over lumens (plenty of flooders or compromise beam lights around).

31

Is it not too deep? It’s just a question…I’m not into the whole measuring the angle of the beam thing…it just looks really deep to me. I guess that would product more of a spot?…than spill?

32

Of course I’m in!

33

Its 120mm deep. Meant to throw, throw, throw. Tried to get a group buy going here, but it didn't lift off.

34

Depending on price.
I will be this one…

Cheers David

35

Did you get one or did they not sell one at all since the buy didn’t happen?

36

Definitely interesting project

I definitely want one :slight_smile:

37

About a year later, I was finally able to convince Illumination Machines to let me have a demo. It was scratched, dented, and appeared to have a couple defects, but is still a beauty to behold. I lost a very special family member during the course of the host build here. I just haven't had the heart to pick it back up since. I do want to finish it eventually.

38

I sure am sorry to hear that. I can understand. :frowning:

39

Wow, might be worth building a light around that reflector. The quality issues are compounded the bigger the reflector is, just like aspherics, so size I'm sure comes with a cost.

40

Interested, want to see where this ends up going. Max throw over lumens I think.

41

Is it going to have a top handle like the old 6v lanterns ?

42

Hello!

By no means expert here, beard 'is in mind. :-))

Why the need for such a wide reflector? Wouldn't it work nice to have a loooong deeeep narrow one?

Imagine a flashlight made primordially of a couple stacked together tubes: one for the batteries, let's say 4 26650s in series, and the other for the lens/reflector/emitter/driver, so 9+" deep reflector without issues. :-)

LoL!

How about a full spectrum laser? I swear I've heard something like this somewhere… maybe in another forum. ;)

Cheers fellows ^:)

Oh yeah, I agree. I had negotiated them down to a great price way back when, but they would not budge on quantity. To give you an idea of its performance, here is a quote from what they told me about it:

"Yes, we have a special Luminus CST90 reflector which achieves >100cd/lm and is an ultra-specular reflector with no facets for military spot light applications."

44

It is a thrower.

I really prever the XHP 35

I am in,too.

It is possible to get just the host,than I will buy the host.

I made advertisment in TLF,hope it is welcome ?

Thanks.

Regards Xandre

45

Yes please! I’m in!
Please also make it better looking than TN42 :smiley: :smiley:

46

Wow, I`m interested too !

47

Interested! Oh, yeah :smiley:

4 cells will be fine for a single emitter, extension would be a good extra for a few extra bucks for those that want it, like the TK75.

Oh yeah, and of course I’m in
