How about that? Enhanced Beryllium Copper Battery Springs
In the OP we called for "Double springs with the smaller being Phosphor Bronze springs". I'm thinking we should stay with this approach - this was decided on way back.
Yep, I'm emailing a whole bunch this morn with our manufacturer contact about the prototype and where to go from here. There were a bunch of things done he wasn't aware, and was out of his control then. He just wanted to get the proto out to us in a rush as-is, and realizes there's a bunch of shortcomings. Things have changed over there since, so it seem we have a much better line of communication right now. If nothing else, this prototype has kicked this off -- all good.
Sounds like a really good situation, not the details changing of course, but more importantly the unerstanding and interest to deal with it.
Phosphor Bronze is also good!
Please add me again to the list for another light. Thank you…….Jesse

And OP list updated!
Wow what a huge number
I have yet to post the pics of the prototype on CPF, I think it will be ore then 18 when done 
Please add me to the list!
Hi,
My name is Keith, and I’m a flashlight addict.
Please add my name to the list.
We’ll forgive you if you forget
You can add me to the list !!
Please add me to the list!
750+ Woaw Woaaaaw Waaaaaarg g g!
Good job The Miller! 
I hope the very noticeable interest in this project and the SRK style flashlight type will help motivate a better then decent manufacturing process and put it back into the glorious position it used to sit.
I just think that when the final light is ready to go this GB will set a record for selling 1,000 lights.
Everything about this light along with the price makes it a “Must Have”
Add me to the list please….the madness continues. Thank you to all the people who make these flashlights a reality!

joeangi welcome to BLF!
OP updated
Couple of new videos, showing the new ThorFire BLF.
This shows the basic operation of Narsil v1.2 on the new ThorFire BLF Q8 prototype:
This shows wall beamshot comparisons between the ThorFire BLF Q8 on the left, and the 4X SRK clone, modified, on the right, both running Narsil v1.2:
Hey you mentioned it in an email but yeah that Q8 prototype reflector gives a very pretty beam
I think I like it more then the srk beam profile.
Yep, totally agree. It appears to be a tight beam for a flood light, but overall much better looking pattern than the SRK clone. I have to do some comparisons to better make a judgment on the width of the beam - will know better tonight. I though a video would show the differences much better than still shots.
I'm in the process of writing up a detailed post now on the prototype.
I like the SRK beam better myself, it appears to be a tighter hotspot. The rose peddle design is something that doesn’t bother me when actually using it outside.
Have you done a lux comparison?
